Good afternoon from this side of the planet.
It's 1:30 PM here and we are bit delayed from our usual lunch time. We generally have our lunch around 1 PM.
But guess we are okay with it. We had a filling breakfast and then some fruits for our mid morning snacks and so we can wait
The delay is due to a last moment change in plan. I had made all the vegetarian dishes for lunch by 12 except for rice that was soaked and kept aside to be cooked later. But then my husband had a temptation to have spicy chicken curry and my daughters joined him.
They didn't have their favourite chicken in a while since last few weeks. So seems like that they had a strong temptation
So my husband took his bike and brought chicken from nearby store. And now I am cooking it. The aroma has filled the entire house and my younger one has come twice to kitchen to check for
it
All vegetarian dishes are ready for vegetarian myself. But I would like to have Sunday lunch with my family and so I will wait. It would be another 20 minutes before the chicken is fully ready. My younger has already set the table. That's impatience for your favourite dish
So till it gets cooked, I can be here and mylot
Hope all going well in your corner and the weekend is treating you well

Many a times we go for Sunday brunch when we wake up late. We just have tea/ milk with one toast and straightway go for heavy brunch. Today everyone got up early. My daughters have their exams going on and they prefer early hours to study.
What was the menu for your brunch today?

@arunima25 We always get up at 5 in the morning also on Sundays, we have a light breakfast and brunch at 11 am. We had a Belgian waffle with strawberries and powdered sugar, scrambled eggs with toasts and a Greek yogurt.

@arunima25 It is better to skip regular breakfast it we are late. My family is tradition Rajasthani, so we are vegetarian, earlier I take eggs some time outside home but for some year I am not eating.

Many Sundays when we are a little late to wake up in the morning we have early lunch or brunch. We skip breakfast. We would just have milk/ tea with a banana or toast in the morning.
I am a vegetarian. I take eggs sometimes and occasionally once in a year or two years, I will have a bite of fish if my husband insists. But I avoid that too.

Our Lunch was....
it was ...
Well no lunch as such as we were outside. We kind of skipped lunch but we had a good tea time with a lot of snacks!!
And well who told that we are dieting.. No way we are trying to get hold of a lot of snacks and eat them so that other people could follow their diet plans!!
Anyways I hope you had a great lunch, and well busy weeks seems to await you very much.
Well, time for me to go to sleep!

Yes and anyways bad health means more expenses on medication- be it Ayurvedic, Allopathic or Homeopathic.

Who cares for dieting? Life is to enjoy. And no enjoyment is there without a good food. And definitely fried snacks make life heaven.
Have a good week

@arunima25 It's good to be able to change plans if necessary. There is less worry and tension if a person is able to be flexible and just go with the flow.

@Shiva49 Now I totally agree with that. My mom said that I will feel what she feels only when I will have kids. She was right. Now I say the same to my daughters

Well, as mother and wife, it's a sense of happiness when you see them relishing their favourite meal. I have to cook non veg as an extra dish after all vegetarian cooking. But I don't mind that extra work. Seeing them happy is a reward.

During weekend, my children would wake up late because we have no work on weekends. Though, personally, I am used to waking up early. I did the laundry and attended the Sunday mass. When I came home, I cooked some chicken in a barbecue sauce and my daughter love it.
Enjoy the weekend!

You did a lot for Sunday. Now you can relax for rest of the day. That's what I am planning to do. There is a long week ahead. Glad that your daughter enjoyed the chicken. We too relished our meal.
