I drink tender coconut water as I was told repeatedly that’s good for me.
Tender coconut’s good for pregnancy. Well, it better be! My husband sweetly picks up a couple on his way back from work and every morning he ensures there’s a cool, refreshing drink at breakfast for me.
I feel like a princess. :-)
And then, a cousin called up and decided to courier some saffron to us. It’s supposed to be good for the baby. (Old wives tales say it’s supposed to bring some color to the baby. Try proving that to a passionate zoologist like me who understands the intricacies of genetics a little better than the average man on the streets.) By the way, it was the first time I laid eyes on saffron. I’d seen it only on magazines and television until now. So I was excited.
What’s amazing is that it’s traveled from Spain via Dubai to Kerala and about 4 gms. of it sits in our kitchen now.
Why am I excited? Because this cousin thought of us and the baby and took the effort to ensure that (through his various contacts) this rare spice arrives at home.
Now why would someone want to do that, I wonder? And then I realize, I don’t have answers for some miracles. Thank you, S! :-)
