We love the cool and mild winters of Karachi and all the local winter joys that come along with it: chicken-corn soup, dried fruits, kastoori milk, cofee, coffee, coffee. One of our family's favourite winter snacks is baked in hot sand peanuts. As we shell them, feeling their warmth at our fingertips, the entire room fills with an absolutely delicious fragrance! Even Asma (almost 2 yrs) insists on shelling her own peanuts, while Uzair has come up with a creative artistic expression - he breaks the peanut shells into perfect halves, which he then arranges into a house formation.
Unlike the rest of us, who eat as we shell them, Uzair saves his peanuts for later - enjoying them nearly all at once in a big mouthful. As you can see below, our piles of peanut shells stand nowhere close to Uzair's careful arrangement. :)
