Thili Dosai from Lakshmis kitchen and Wholewheat Walnut Bread

Since past two months,life has been really busy with so much to do and just 24hrs in a day, sometimes i feel i need more time to catch up with the pending work,yet whenever i feel like like cooking or get the opportunity to cook i dont miss it,first half of the day i am busy in hospital doing projects and the second half is for home,Advay,sudying,cooking and so many other things,its tough managing both home and work but i am doing the best i can,Advay has become very naughty,he keeps me on my toes,evening is spent running after him and as soon i am back from work he gets his books out from his school bag for revision,ya he luvs alphabets and is in luv with them ,he has started conversing in his own language and tries to catch up with us not to miss he luvs chatting with his father on Skype which is our daily routine these days,coming back to cooking
