So I think I caught my husband’s cold. I’m home today sleeping and laying around. With a cold, I’m always starving, with a flu not so much. Maybe that is why they say to starve a fever and stuff a cold. Anyways, the good thing is that I made up some bottle gourd on Sunday because the squash was getting brown and you know how I hate throwing out vegetables. Neither of us was feeling it though so into the fridge it went. So for lunch I’m having it with some leftover dal, yogurt, roti and papad. Mmm.<\/p>\n
