Today is the fourth week of Blogging Marathon # 21. I am posting under the theme Upma. Upma is my favourite breakfast. In mom’s place she used to prepare upma once or twice a week and we never complained about it. She used to make the tastiest upma. But after marriage, I found out that hubby hates upma. It was an interesting incident and I remember it very clearly because it was the very first fight we had after marriage. I will talk about this fight tomorrow as I am pressed for time now. Now it is different and when I make it once in a month he grunts when I say I am preparing upma , but after he tastes it he says that it is good. When I said I am doing a theme on upma, you should look at his face. Then he said OK I will try it. He need some crunch in the upma and so I added an extra sauteed onion at the final stage to retain its crunch. IT was so nice and we thoroughly enjoyed it. But you know what, he will forget about it completely and will give me a curious look when I say about upma being the breakfast tomorrow.
