The summer holiday this year had been unusual. We had a “Stacation”!(
a term i just learnt ).
It has been a great Stay-at-home-Vacation. My work was easy
and the kids were relaxed. We caught on all our movies, as well as entire
seasons of TV shows.
The cherry on the icing however, has been....
“THE COOK-OFF”!!!!!
What started as a simple idea, turned into an elaborate
project as I outlined the rules and chalked out the score cards. They began
over the weekend, when they both attacked google to get their menus in order. Their
list of ingredients was exotic and their dishes were ambitious.
As time passed by the personalities of both my children
became apparent. Sanjana, the planner who is into presentation and winning..
Arnav on the other end of the spectrum was laid back, haphazard but very intuitive
about taste.
Presenting the rest of the story in a short film......
As Arnav observed very wisely at the end of it all........he
says to me- “it was a learning experience, mom!”
