Memories :

It was almost mid-summer, the heat in our area is part of the life to live. What can be the best way to entertain ourselves...no V-Games, no Wii,no Parks, mmm movie. Yes, but we were not allowed to watch any movies at home, watching in a rental VCR(oldtime gadget may be)... a Big No :)!!! There was slight and big problem getting in the way of enjoying the special days. My brothers wanted a solution to meet the concern...why not watch it in our uncle(Mama)’ s home. It was not a big palace, yet there was lot of love and affection we experienced in our lives there. 

Uncle, being a fan of 60’s, he was so crazy to watch all the “Vathiar” movies. Though he suggests few recently released movies, my brothers were desperately wanted to watch “FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE" !!!  It had a Great Soundtrack , and  just outstanding even if we hear today. What could have happend? Uncle, who was so much love in us, gave the green signal...(Yayyyy!!!),everyone started to watch the movie. About half-hour into the movie, our stomach were growling, since our Aunt was also soaked in the thrilling moments of the movie,then the dinner time was just passing away..!! At last, She made yummy Arisi paruppu sadam( will post that soon)with this ROASTED POTATOES. We had our dinner at late night, whatever the time may be...but how it was served is always overwhelming to us. Though, we all love this dish , it is hard to forget these memories.
