I don't remember the first thing I made for hubby after marriage. But I do remember cooking really delicious, rich foods for him that first year. All his favorites. Alas, still couldn't compete with MIL. But it's all good. Now she cooks all the rich food and I cook the healthy food.
Syani on competing with MIL i remember this joke my mom used to tell that a newly wed wife cooked for the first time n when the husband ate he said"its good but ahh jo baat ammi k haath ki thee"the wife got laal peeli.Next time she would try harder n harder.She tried each n every possible recipe,spent tons of hrs in kitchen but each time ended with same compliment"per jo baat Allah rekhay ammi k haath ki thee"finally she gav upthinking she could never compete her MIL n never win her husband's heart.One day she was quite sick.She made some rotis but they got burnt.She didn't care much n served them as is and kept waiting for some negative remarks.that day the husband had those burnt rotis,took a loud burp n with a deep smile on his fce said"Waah aaj tu bus ammi ki yaad aa gayee"
