Of Full Moons, Fasts and Breaking Fasts..

Thursday was a long day for me. Sat at my work station with all barriers up, physical, psychological and mental.
Read – sliding door between dining and kitchen shut firmly.
Armed only with a strong Nespresso, intensity 12. Yes, that intense.
Zoom remote consults, meetings, training, joint trouble shooting with team colleague.
Didn’t budge until past 4pm.
Husband too firmly ensconced in study, with lectures, student consults.
Daughter 1 – work, Daughter 2 – online uni.
Made myself a cuppa chai. Watched a romantic K drama. Then, began prep for Chittirai Purnima.
A simple meal to break fast after completing Purnima/Full Moon Puja.
Fresh fruit and

1. Coconut Creamy lentils with spinach leaves.
2. Mullangi/Radish in Spicy Tempered yoghurt/patchadi which turned out into a More Kuzhambu/gravy.
3. Cabbage thoren.
4. A Cinderella moment for a tired sad mango in my fridge. Mango chutney.
5. Small brinjal kuzhambu/gravy.
   Items 1 to 4 onion garlic free with fresh coconut or coconut milk.
