The budding chef

The kids have been complaining that there are no new baby videos.. that is what they call old videos of them that we see in the blog before bedtime!

So we need more baby videos for three years from now.. Here is a start!

She is becoming quite a chef!

The older one is as elusive as a vampire in daylight! Will have to work hard to catch that one on camera doing something cute.

Have been busy with the new job the last week. Loving it so far. Also have a nice Macbook Air. A Mac work laptop after 15 years. Loving that too.. Getting used to the trackpad as fast as I can. 

The other amazing thing is that it runs VMware Fusion. That means with a swipe of the mouse it goes from a Mac screen to a Windows screen and runs my Windows apps!

We also spent some time with the kids today at Pier 39 watching the Blue Angels fly just between us and Alcatraz. Have some nice photos.. but the editing has to wait till middle of the week.

Until then..

Tit for Tat

Me to Little one : I am going to take the iPad away for a couple of days. You are spending way too much time on the iPad and are not watching age appropriate stuff. You are supposed to watch only Rugrats and even that I have issues with. Do NOT watch this "All Grown Up" stuff. It is not something a 6 year old should watch!

Little one to me :  (in an Angry tone) What if "I" went to your Mac and clicked on that button which says "Uninstall Photoshop" huh? How will you feel then?

She said it like she meant it.

For a second I was thinking "does she know what Uninstall does?" and she actually knew that it would remove Photoshop forever!

She is scary. I have to watch out now!

The Apprentice

The little one has been learning how to cook things from Grandma recently.

She retices recipes for all tiffin items in step by step sequence, with a cute Tamil accent! Have to capture a secret video of that soon.

The other day she tells grandpa "how did you like it? I made it for you". Was kind of confused hearing that.

Then saw it in action last night and took a video of it. She seems to be okay with the way she sits on the countertop and so is grandma but it was not the safest and did scare me. So going to purchase a high stool for the little one so she can sit on that and stir, add ingredients etc.

Brought me back so many memories of sitting next to my grandma and her aunt (Ambulu) next to a clay made oven of sorts on the ground and helping them make "therattu paal".

Now I have a craving to eat that at 9:30 PM. Sigh!
