The last weekend was eventful. The girls and their dad were busy in Badminton tournament and I was busy with "Yellu" preparations for Sankranthi. I stopped making "Sakkare achhu" (sugar candies) last year and I continued with the same this year as well. It involves an elaborate procedure, and the kids at home do not favor it, so I find the effort not worth it. Anyways husband helped with "Kobbari" scrapping (dry coconut), cutting jaggery and coconut proved not a simple task. I used the special tool (adike kattari) for the first time to cut jaggery and the tool simplified the task considerably. Prepared yellu to distribute to atleast 20 folks.
We had conveniently decided to use "Kitty party" for yellu distribution.
The girls performed better than other tournaments they have participated in. But sadly they had tough opponents and could not win medals. The achievement for both the girls was sweet revenge in the form of game wins against opponents they had lost to previously. Personally they were very satisfied. We watched "Moana" movie monday evening, before wrapping up the long weekend with a delicious stuffed capsicum / roti / jeera rice dinner.
Next long weekend is in May ... with the Martin Luther weekend, holiday season officially comes to an end ...
