There’s nothing worse than finding your snack corner empty when you are watching a movie or just feel like munching on something.I usually stock packets of Act2 ready to make popcorn,but even that didn’t come to our rescue when we badly felt like snacking on a Sunday evening!!I was making frequent trips to the kitchen hoping to find something…something which I might have missed spotting.I saw a packet of Charmuro[puffed rice] and thought of making something with it.The thought of making a chat or snack-mix was out of question[or rather,I was lazy!].I strongly agree that the thought of the blog and events that are going on have the power to wipe out the laziness in me!!All I had to do was search and here I am with a wonderful bowl of snack,ready to munch,anyone??
