UNCLE'S GARDEN ****

For most the days that we stayed in Goa we spent most of our time at my hubbys favorite uncles house, This house is more than 150 yrs old and was built by my hubby's great great grandfather.
Sorry that did not click pictures of this fabulous house ,Its been well maintained and taken care of my hubby's uncle who stays there.But, i promise i will be taking lot of pictures of the interior of the house which will be very interesting for bloggers who stay out of India and havent seen the village type of life.

Although here my hubby's uncle has renovated the house with the latest facilities.
here is a glimpse of the house with a little patch of the garden





 

FLOWERS IN GOA****

People staying in Goa are fortunate to have a garden or an extra space where they can grow plants , I saw these lovely flowers wherever I went and they were so pleasing to the eye .

I want to share some of the pictures i clicked of flowers grown at our relatives places (we went to more than 10 in 8 days)











Aren't they so pretty?

THALI****


I love sharing my daily food photos with you , i think my regular readers know this well , you will see my other food  plates or thali as we call it , if you read my other food blog too.
It would be great if my  fellow bloggers would share what goes on their plate  too it would be fabulous a peek into  one's  home  without actually being there, wonderful!!!! 
The menu of the day was
bottle gourd and chana dal vegetable
french beans dry vegetable
papad with freshly grated coconut which was then crushed together
ambat varan or tuvar dal with lemon 
chapati and rice...not in the picture
If any of my friends who read this blog want to know a recipe please write to me on the comment section and i will put it up for you...
  
 This is a pure vegetarian thali.
