Blood Soup!

It is an interesting concoction of beetroot and carrot and is my mom's signature soup recipe...

And it tastes surprisingly yummy despite its 'bloody' unappetizing looks…

I would always call it "raktacha soup" and my mom would always scold me for calling it that.

To further irritate her, I and the hairy monster  would suggest to her that she should serve it in 
'human skull bowls' with spoons made of bones for the right effect :)

"We are all draculas tonight"

And that would always get us the usual "vajvayla pahije changla tumhala" from her… :)

Well, today I tried making the blood soup and nostalgia hit me.

This is the 50th post on my blog - and it is dedicated to the Hairy monster - who, as I realised, has received surprisingly low footage on this blog.

This one's for all the fights we've had, the jokes we've shared, the endless leg pulling and everything :)

Cheers to us (touchwood)…
