One of my nightmares have come true in last couple of weeks.
A hectic weekend ended in chaos, A normal routine to work on a lazy monday morning changed to rushing to the hospital, blood tests, examinations and everything you dread and there I was completely dazed at the pace of things happening to me.
Family not allowed after the visiting hours so Rocky and Noel had to leave me and so there I was suddenly in couple of hrs all by myself and in thumping pain.
I found the whole experience quite overpowering. I always disliked hospitals and its may be b‘coz I was living in that atmosphere throughout my life as dad being a doctor.
And as I am quite a sensitive person, I get effected when I see and hear those distressed stories of why other patients are in there, you really think how fortunate you are.
But anyway I am back to myself now and away from those horrifying week, trying to get back into routine. When you think life is just the way you wanted with less hassle and bustle, yearning for a peace of mind , Swiftly things change in such way that it makes you comprehend what really imperative in anyone’s life.
Sorry to turn you all with my worst nightmare but felt like sharing with friends and that’s what friends are for right? In happy days and in sad days!!
I am taking things slowly so spending a lot less time in the kitchen and making some simple salads to go!!

I made this salad yesterday, a pretty simple chicken salad which can be had on its own or with Mediterranean cous cous which is exactly the way we had.
Nice simple delicious salad which was ready in 10 minutes

Mix all these ingredients and shallow fry them in 1 or 2 tbsp for 10 minutes on medium heat.And add these succulent pieces to Rocket salad, chopped red onions, jalapeño peppers, cucumber and plum tomatoes and serve immediately

We usually don’t get the opportunity to eat barbecues out too often here as u all very well know how unpredictable UK weather is. I remember last year, we did have good summer but my mom and sis were here and we are busy holidaying, so we didn’t have many sit outs. This year, we decided that as soon as the sun is out with some decent sunshine, so comes out our barbecue.

As we had 23 degrees Centigrade on sunday, It was perfect to take out the barbecue and we enjoyed grilled sticks and many other grilled delicacies.

Most people think of BBQ as throwing a few chicken breasts, sausages, ribs on the grill and flipping them so often.
I think BBQ is all about preperation and marinade.
If u plan ahead, it will trun out to the best BBQ ever

I love to marinade whatever i want to grill, over night and the prawns, chicken pieces will be succulent when u put them on the BBQ.

For us the pleasures of a Wonderful Barbecues has just started and many more to come with many dishes to try and experiment and most importantly enjoying family n friends
