Mutton Paya

It was weekend here...was feeling little bit lazy to get up from my bed and found my two heroes missing .
My little hero was so brisk today that he came all the way screaming from kitchen followed by the big to show that they were busy in the kitchen preparing tea.Finally had a good start as my hubby dear offered me with a bedtea.I must mention that my husband prepares excellent tea...he is too gud in that.

Next thought on food. So its all about mutton this weekend. So for the breakfast we had idiyappam and mutton paya and for lunch it was curd rice and mutton chukka.
