Comfort Food on a Cold Wintry Night!

I did not know it gets this cold in Irvine.  I thought So Cal was suppose to be nice and sunny all year long.  This was the first holiday break that I spent in Irvine after 2 years and may be that's why I feel like this is not normal (a side tangent: I got back to work on Tuesday).  In 2010, I was in India for my Mum's retirement party, and in 2011, I was in Hawaii, where the weather was just awesome!  And this year, I was in Irvine where temperature dropped to as low as 2 degrees Celsius (35F). Cold cold cold!  I know my friends on East Coast are like, oh Comeon!, but what to do?  We SoCal people are always complaining, less sun, more sun, no sun, rain, we always cry and complain :D (by the way it was nice today and is expected to rain over the weekend again).

Punjabi Pinni from my Grandma's Kitchen

My Grandma (mom's mom) or Biji, as we called her, had a very close relationship with her grand kids.  I would like to add that she had the closest relationship with me and my brother ;), Sorry cousins! Had to break the hard news to you! Though she was allowed to go only to a primary school, she was the smartest lady around.  She could mold herself according to the situation and environment she was in..  She was a kid with kids and an adult amongst adults!
