I had my eyes on these beauties since a long time, regardless of which they lied clinging to their stems since no one in the household was allowed to pluck even one....
My mom nurtures and treat them like her own kids. I could never convince her but when my daughter asked her to part away with some of her Kumquats, she relented...
I could not believe myself but yes , this is the 'Relationship between a Naani and her grandchildren.
At times I ponder over my status....should I be ENVIOUS or take it with a smile on my face?
Whatever my state of mind was....I too fell in love with them. I could not lay my eyes off them. It's often said that 'Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder'....but I disagree and put my foot down on that. I didn't find them beautiful. ....They were beautiful.
This is the reason why they kept on lying in my kitchen for two days....It was so difficult to cut them to make myself happy.
But I had no other option now....I just couldn't waste them....so I thought of making Marmalade out of them.
My knife was the tyrant there....Least it could do was to cut them with love so I could squeeze all the juice and go ahead with my endeavour. ...😉😉
