Grilled Veggies Spaghetti ......

Italian for Dinner tonight .......

Sat : Hey I am gonna prepare Italian tonight.
J : (Very Excited over the name of Italian food) Will you be preparing Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and mushroom ?
Sat : Nah .... it's will be Spaghetti with Basil Tomato sauce and grilled veggies.
J : You mean those noodle like things that you cook when you are lazy
Sat : What ... did you just say that I am lazy ?
J : Grumbling ..... no that's not what I meant.

Sat : Well no matter what you mean .... Today's dinner is Veggie Spaghetti.

J : Is there an option ... I mean anything left over in the fridge.

Sat goes ahead in preparing her new recipe - Grilled veggie spaghetti with tomato basil sauce. J is no more interested about 'Italian' since it's not Chicken Marsala. Sat prepares the dish and hands it over to J . J's eyes are glued to the TV, he finishes the entire bowl without even noticing what he's eating.

Sat busy taking clicks for her blog .....
