We get ready made batter in the shops here, so idlis/dosa and sambhar appear on our dinner menu quite often.<br />I wish I could send you curry leaves--have two young trees that give us plenty of fresh leaves throughout the year.

Frugality is a good thing to pass on to the children. It keeps them grounded. Like your son, I remember days when I had just enough money to but the one liter milk packet to last an entire day--usually the last 2/3 days of a month (at University), so I'd save most of it for dinner to ensure a good night's sleep.Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-88264731411612628632018-05-05T21:49:31.017+03:002018-05-05T21:49:31.017+03:00:) Lived in Kolkata for 7 years- till 4th std.

My parents used to say that money doesn't grow on trees as well. But my mother totally confused the issue, when she insisted and convinced my brother that "apple slices" - a pastry from our local bakery - grew on trees behind the bakery. I think I hold her responsible for my early love I trees - I was always looking to see what might be growing on them. :-)Deborah Weberhttps://deborah-weber.com/wonder-manifesto-y-is-for/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-43724814842897250192018-04-29T16:34:01.498+03:002018-04-29T16:34:01.498+03:00I really am giggling - money doesn't grow on t...I really am giggling - money doesn't grow on trees - my parents used to say it and we also have said it! I reckon our two sons were the hardest done by while they were at university. My younger one who was living in digs in his last years would tell of eating only bread for the last few days of the month until his pocket money came through. Our elder son says of getting to the ATM at midnight on the last day/night of the month to get some dosh/cash. They are now both self-employed and can say in hindsight that they appreciated the frugality of their parents!!!Susan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041548718544123557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-90164792250255787342018-04-29T02:09:00.684+03:002018-04-29T02:09:00.684+03:00You've painted a very accurate picture of a pu...You've painted a very accurate picture of a public office' filing system Emily, even without visiting Emily.<br />Disorganization is universal too, I guess:)Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-53780316421044719092018-04-29T02:06:49.324+03:002018-04-29T02:06:49.324+03:00That's why we fell in love Tamara--we are both...That's why we fell in love Tamara--we are both very fond of food and recesses:)Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-14390003566651582472018-04-29T02:05:51.455+03:002018-04-29T02:05:51.455+03:00School lunches at the school I taught in the UK we...School lunches at the school I taught in the UK were fantastic Lissa.
