Since I have converted to my husband’s religion and am now Hindu and therefore by virtue of his caste also a Brahmin I needed to bless my new stove with boiled milk. I know this sounds weird but unless you’re Hindu/Brahmin you wouldn’t understand. It’s a thing . . . a messy thing, but still.
I’d like to know more of the story.
But, in the meantime, aren’t you happy that you have that nifty new stove that’s easy to clean up!!??!!
I’m with Marion on this.
This is really a thing they do in India. Sort of like blessing a house. So I did it. Fortunately my new cooktop is easy to clean because it was a FREAKING mess.
