Yesterday I went to Sujatha’shouse and had thosai..which is something Samar cannot have but I did. I couldnt resist the crispy paper thin thosai.
Today we were invited to a neighbour’s party and I lied to her,saying that my mil told me to fast because it was one week since the news of my fil and so I couldnt eat her food. Naughty sraikh! I didnt even look at the cake. I made pork and had that with broccoli. The older kids just pulled pork with bread. Avasha is demanding for rice. Its so so hard, I wanted to make eggs and toast in the morning and I resisted.
I wanted Parle G biscuits with my afternoon chai but again I said no. I cannot imagine my poor child facing his siblings who eat everything and yet he doesnt complain. Imagine if I did this for 2 weeks a month a whole year, how much weight I would lose. Just cutting out wheat ensures one cannot eat so many evil but oh so yummy stuff.
Breakfast–the older kids wanted pancake…I dont know what to make for Samar’s breakfast.
Lunch, I plan to make fish curry for lunch and rice for the older kids.
Dinner…??
Sigh! Its close to 1 a/m and I should be going to bed.
I read this post and then went back to reading the post where this is coming from.
This must be so tough for you. And even more for Samar. Hugs. I hope it works out. All the best!
Me:Thanks D!

Me: I thought I had responded.. I am going to try the recipes. I am heading to Trader Joes later this afternoon to pick up buckwheat. I saw buckwheat waffles but they had soy!
S, you should find Buckwheat in Indian stores as well … just fyi.
I have been a silent reader for a long time and I can empathize what your going through. Can he eat Amaranth grains, chia seeds,(these two are available in whole foods) jaggery? I live in the bay area too and I really want to help you. Please let me know when is a good time to meet you? (you can e-mail me). Do you want me to get ragi flour for you?
Me: Someone else told me about chia seeds. I emailed you
No words of advice from me, but wanted to tell you that I admire your resilience and your effort to stay fair to all the kids.

it may help.
S, it’s not thosai…it’s dosa / dosai
Me: In Singapore.. all the mama/roti prata/ shops have it spelt that way. The North Indians claim I pronunce it wrong and its called dosah.I checked with my Tamil friend(s) and she said its thosai and all the North Indians are smoking crack.
