different place, same fun

I got to go back in time for a few days while staying with Mamta in her apartment in Baltimore. Not only did we attempt to cook things we had never cooked before (again), but we somehow succeeded in making something edible!

Like our first attempt at veggie chili, which turned out better than we expected. It had a hint of Indian spiciness to it, and I can expect nothing less from us. But as always, we're more excited about the colors than anything else. It looks like a real fiesta in the pan! We even ventured so far as to create an entire chipotle meal with tortillas, rice and the works. This time we managed to have a successful meal without burning anything...




We had a bit of trouble with the rice though...something we have yet to master. It seems that both of us individually can cook fantastic meals, but bring us together and disaster strikes!












But at least there will always be pie. Pumpkin pie! Which, of course, did not go without a reference to falling pumpkins.




It's nice knowing nothing much has changed. Cooking can be as eventful as it always was, dinner as satisfying as you would expect, and the clean-up (as usual) filled with uncontrollable laughter after reminiscing about our falls...literally.
