When you have kids on spectrum, routine and structure is the
only choice you have. They want to go to same place, eat the same food. You can
say everything should be predictable. That is one of the hardest things my
family and I struggle with. I like to try everything, food, place or anything
fun. It’s my philosophy that change will keep you happy and entertained. Well, I needed an updated
version of this philosophy and include "sameness" in life. I have always been creative when it comes to
cooking and poor my guys, they tolerated and learnt over the years that they
have no way around it. So as long as I have some fish, plain rice, chhole, dal,
roti, pasta, noodles and few other variations Anand is happy.
When I have to go out and leave the boys home “meat sauce”
and chhole-roti or fish roti is my safest bet.
Thursday is my school night so I left home with hot fish on
pan. When I get back he was already in bed asleep. He is dad’s son every
morning, But Ashish needed some extra sleep so I took over the morning job.
When I went to wake him up, I was expecting the question - where is dad ? But
what I got was- mom you are the best cook ever. I thought he must have been
dreaming about something but apparently the fish was very good. Here I am
thinking of the whole process, I didn’t have time to cook tomatoes for curry so
I used the spicy pasta sauce for base.. and my son LOVED it..
Well if I can feed him fish curry made in pasta sauce and
get the compliment, hell yah I don’t care what the food critics say ..I am the “bestest”
cook ever..
