what do you do ? you know when the khana is peacefully cooking on low fire , you got to be next to it , but not all over it … do you start washing the dishes ? or start cleaning the cabinets? or fill up all the spice bottles or just start wiping the kitchen counter … so many things to do … what do you do?
I start wiping the cabinet doors and clear out all the clutter from the cabinets … thats the only time i can manage to do it
Just finish cleaning the cooking area...you know throw the chilkas away,put the masalas back,and wipe the surfaces down,or goond the atta.I tend to clean as I go along anyways,so there isn't that much clean up to do.
I leave the kitchen … get on GS or watch TV… I should learn something from you guys and clean as I go… maybe I can talk to hubby and have a TV or computer hooked up in the kitchen
.. well back around six months ago .. i used to read books ..cos it was exam days .. before that normal days would sit on my stool and just go on the net .. do anything ..usually chatting to someone who knws how to cook lol cos i d try new dishes ..or just watch tv ..
nowa days .. its just tv or prepare the side dishes .. or like make the salad ..chutni .. u knw .. lil things .. get all the plates etc ready .. so as soon as the khana is cooked ..get down to eating hot hot hot ...
I usually prepare the salads or side dishes as the food is cooking.. I also clean dishes as I go because I hate having to wash loads of dishes.
I bring my laptop in the kitchen and put music on as I cook and clean so that helps!
I clean up the mess I created during food prep and wipe the kitchen counters and if there's additional time then I wash my hands and browse the internet on my laptop which is usually sitting on the breakfast bar! :D
