Deprived again of home cooked food!!!

I just got back from India after a 10 day visit for brother's wedding, it was really good as the whole family which btw is just composed of 4 people had a re-union after 3 years. My brother is based in Sydney and myself at moment in London, so seeing her 2 son's home after 3 years like a true Punjabi mother, my mum demonstarted all her love by making sure that we both are well fed. I dont understand one concept, the first thing my mum said when she saw us was "you 2 have grown so weak, have lost so much weight" and I wondered from where...seriously I am still trying to figure that out?? Well she made sure that we dont look weak anymore, man I love her for that.

Well we both didn't mind it honestly since firstly, hot home cooked food is quite a luxury, secondly not sure whether it was jet lag or what... I was suddenly had the feeling of hogging to her cooking. So all the control I had on my diet while I was here ( honestly wasn't helping much) was ignored and I was at my all time best...10 days of Punjabi food, Aloo paranthas, Karahi chicken, Daal Makhni, Aloo gobi and god knows what all... it felt like HEAVEN.

Now that I am back in London and the days of luxury are gone. It is back to cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and pasta with my own cooked curry( quite a combination, one should give it a try Italian and Indian) for dinner or takeaway as an alternate. I am not a bad cook, its just that I hate eating alone by far cooking for myself is quite a lot of work... maybe thats one reason why my apetite was at its all time high while I was home. Now I miss all that, well till next trip home will have to either live with my own cooking or takeaways ... well the latter seems to be the more feasible option.
