It's a late lunch today.

It's 1:48 PM here and I write this post while the fish curry for lunch simmers on the stove. It should be ready in another ten minutes. The aroma fills the house. And I am going to be eating fish today 
..I am having it after almost a year. You can see the last fish meal that I had in the picture. It was in February last year when one of my friend called me and treated me with this fish preparation from Kerela( a southern state in India). Kerela being a coastal state has fish as their staple diet. I am a vegetarian by choice but once in blue moon, I eat fish and I take eggs regularly. So, basically an eggitarian who turns fishitarian once in a while 
It's late for lunch and we are okay with it. My husband is working from home and my younger daughter has her school holiday today. Yesterday, they stayed till mid night to enjoy the screening of IPL cricket match. My husband picked her up at 11:30 in the night and they reached home at midnight. My younger daughter is not a sports fan like my elder one. But she wanted to attend this event hosted by her school to have fun with friends. She took snacks of chips, popcorn and orange juice to enjoy with friends while they watched the game on the big screen . Evening tea and dinner was provided by the school. She had a good time with her friends.
As students would be tired after so much of fun and staying late, they got a holiday today . To compensate for that, there Saturday would be a full day school instead of half day.
We started our day late. Had our breakfast around 10 and then husband craved for fish curry and rice. So, I ordered fish and got it home delivered.. We will have cucumber and lettuce salad with it.
Hope all going well in your myLot corner. I will read some posts and respond till the food is ready
Notifications have to wait

@arunima25 Oh, I see, sorry about that. The cucumber and lettuce fresh from your garden must be succulent, I am sure.

Yes, that's the amount of rice that I eat. Being diabetic, I control the amount of carbs. Cucumber and lettuce were fresh from my garden and they tasted so good

It happens with me too. Posts about yummy foods here make me crave for some

We had it around 2:30. I generally finish it around 1. I have yoga classes at 5 on weekdays and I want to feel light by then. Today I had a heavy and late lunch. I missed my yoga class. I just went for some walk instead.

@pitstop Yes, it is. I find it more effective when we do it in a group. I feel more motivated. Moreover, it's a free class that one of our resident conducts. She is certified yoga trainer but does this session free. She only charges for one to one sessions suiting personal needs.

Oh! I see. Actually going vegetarian is a healthy way for many reasons. My husband and daughters have them twice in a week.

@allknowing I never long for non veg. Could never find them close to veg items. Even my husband is no more interested in having them so frequently. Earlier he was a hardcover non vegetarian and would have it almost daily. Now, he has these sudden cravings some times else he is happy with veg food. My daughters want it twice a week.

@arunima25 Here the fish are costly. We also sometimes take mango shake in the dinner and nothing else.

@sjvg1976 Oh! I see. Mango shake is a complete meal in itself. Yummy and quite filling

I assume that fish is cheaper than chicken and mutton. Mutton is the costliest.
We enjoyed the meal. We ate late and ate more. We skipped our dinner. A few slices of mango was enough.

Thank you Carol. Even I am busy. On the trip that I mentioned in my last post. Two functions are over and left with the last one on Monday. Having a good time with friends and family whom we don't get to see so often.
Our offline obligations keep us away from mylotting. Even I need to catch up a lot

@CarolDM All things good or bad don't last forever, though we would wish that for good things. The same goes for your birds. I am sure that they would return soon.

Cricket is the most popular game here in India. Indians are crazy about it like Basketball and American football in your country. It's rightly said that Cricket is the national religion

Even though your younger daughter might not be a big sports fan, she seized the opportunity to join in on the fun with her friends during the late-night screening of the IPL cricket match. Snacks, drinks, and good company—sounds like the perfect recipe for a memorable evening.

Two of her good friends are big fan of cricket. So, she didn't want to miss the chance to support their team and have fun.. School and college is all about fun and friendship along with learning.
