This post was really touching. I don't know how many times I've made brownies, cookies, or cake, just to realize afterward that what I really want is payesh, patishapta, or sooji! There is really nothing quite as satisfying as Ma's desserts. :)Ms. Meaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224824282422922472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-63677273702431548092010-06-16T15:26:08.959-04:002010-06-16T15:26:08.959-04:00Hi Sandeepa,
