Old age?

Every time I finish cooking, J does a full inspection of the kitchen. Because I, sometimes (ok make that usually) forget to switch off the stove (mine is an electric stove not gas). Today was different.

I decided to make this and added 2Tb sesame seeds in the kadai and got stirring to get it all brown. Stir, stir, stir...for a full 15mins, still it was white as snow. Packet old? No. Genetically modified sesame seeds that probably don't brown? No. Maybe I had to stir around for some more time? No. May be the heat was not enough? Umm.... I hadn't even switched on the damn stove.

Should I be worried?
On a side note the baingan dish came out good. And I would have saved 10mins if that stove was on. Dammit.

    Abhaaa Nags, I am so glad I am not the only one. Dosa on a cold tava never attempted before!

    Ya I blame it on old age. Have a few grey hair also :(

    Arch, I have done that as well :| I get into the lift from the 4th floor and keep pressing 4th floor and wonder why the damn lift is not going to the 1st floor.

    Thousif thanks and wish you the same :)

  14. LOL! It is old age SJ :) No doubt about that :) Like my husband taught daughter - 'How old is Amma' - Very old :) I am known to do the reverse- forget to switch off the stove and end up with charred food :(

    The good thing is that the baingan still turned out yum :)
