Singing Beach, Cooking

This weekend I paid a visit to the "Singing Beach" at Manchester-by-the-Sea! The Commuter Rail from North Station takes you to Manchester in all of 51 minutes... a 10 minute walk from the station brought us to the singing beach...
Too bad, the "sun don't shine like in Tel Aviv"... the sun was shining but the day was cold! A, A's friend C, and I ....
(sounds like I am reciting the alphabet isnt it? "ABC, A's friend is C, AC and I, we went out to Sea" ... Strike one, Dr Seuss).. well getting back to the story, A, C and I went out to spend the afternoon and evening on the beach, and hoped to get some water time too... well, Poseidon (Neptune, as he is known in the Roman circles) had other plans... within 25 seconds of entering the water, i exited with a yelp, and with all of my teeth (wisdom too, not that they helped !!) chattering! it was cold, collddd... brrrrr....... that put an end to Jacques Cousteau like adventures... C had brought her wet suit but it was too cold to think of entering the water.... wet suit remained dry! ... we played volleyball, ate pistachio nuts, chocolate chip cookies, fruits, found out that if you kick up the sand, the particles rub against each other, and actually "sing".. i heard a refrain that sounded like "pour some sugar on me" but hey, it could be "shifting whispering sands by rusty draper"
We got back late, tired but content!
Next day, I cooked. Over the last few months, I discovered that I can cook, I like cooking, and other people are not dying like flies from eating the food that I have cooked ... all good news for my future health and life! I am adept at making both north and south indian dishes, which is also a plus! Last week, we had a Dosa cookout (or I should say, cookin, as it was all indoors!), thanks to a generous donation of dosa batter and coconut chutney by my dear cousin sister, L. (L, if you ever navigate to this page, all who have savoured the dosa that was created from the batter you gave, thank thee from the bottom of our bottomless stomach pits!!)
Au revoir!
