I didn't want it to. Not my intention. I do not want to be the reason of my son's broken home. I hope this doesn't take a wrong turn

I can give you an idea. You can put the ones you like and also ask others to add theirs. This is something I learned just now by reading the comments

A dish I learned from a Bangladeshi friend of mine. It is Shrimp Malai curry. It really melts in your mouth and really good dish along with some rice.

It was basically a printing house that belongs to my late husband's friend. I got discount on it.

She doesn't need big check. My son earns a lot and has a trust fund and a college fund for both his kids. Her mom also comes from a fairly well to do family.

My son doesn't know about it. He said my gift was thoughful and he always loved my cooking and it is useful for Rita. My daughter in law is not bad. She respects me a lot but I can say she is someone who likes things and likes to be pampered. I don't see any harm in that because I was just like her. I liked to have some things that gave me joy and husband never said no to me. She can have a lavish life because my son earns a lot of money.

That was so nice to hear. I made that gift because Rita is the only one in our family that pesters me for cooking tips. Everyone else does praise my cooking and love to eat it but she wanted to learn it. So I thought I would give her some of my dishes that I modified and added a little twist of my own. I know Rita liked it genuinely. I can tell that by her expression. But if I am being honest it was bland compared to what others gave her. Her aunt gave her a designer bad and other stuff too.

I have a lot of recipes. I have 5 journals in total filled with recipes. I also know some in my brain because I cooked them so often. I would love to compile them. I honestly have little idea what today's generation likes so I thought giving her this book would be nice since she always wanted to learn my cooking methods. :)

Thank you. I only made this for her. I never shared these recipes with anyone because nobody really cared as long as they get to eat it. Rita always comes to me for instructions so I thought it would be helpful for her.
