Crab

Hermit Crab

Most species of the hermit crab have soft abdomens, which are protected from predators by a salvaged empty sea snail shell, carried by the hermit crab into which its whole body can retract.   Hollow wood or stone pieces are also used by some species.

Today's word is Old Cooking Vessels.

A query in an online forum www.indusladies.com

"Hi Ladies,

There was this offer from prestige for exchange of utensils for cooker but they take one vessel for one cooker..i have loads and loads of utensils so couldn't dump on them too....
What do u with them? Anything that you have done? Even if it is to donate...?
House maid are very posh now a days... i cannot offer her these. She will throw it back at my face."

Butter Roti

An amul ad which showed 30 seconds of a just prepared roti and a blob of amul butter doing its magic. One can't help but feel like grabbing that.I tried making this from that image.

Buttering?

Looks like Butter has become the Main Dish instead of the Masala Dosa!!

Sinful butter

A family recipe

A large blob of fresh white butter, home-made banana jam and akki roti.  Some of my cousins still have this as a quick dessert - and forget about that cholesterol.

I'm not sure if this comes under 'butter',  - a more refined way?
