We are getting our house repainted.This is the fourth time I am seeing a repaint happen and everytime I learn something new. …most of the time we were getting cheated one way or the other.
The labour whom we appoined always took us for a ride….

We just finished one of our important festivals yesterday…It was the Kaaradayam nombu.
This is a festival celebrated by Tamil Brahmins. This is a day for the ladies to pray that their husbands (or husbands to be) are always with them and that their relationship never dies.

I found out from someone that adding a pinch of sugar to the palak while cooking would keep it green. I have not tried it…but you can try and let me know if it works.
