Yiipeee Friday Again

Yipee! It is friday again ! The day of the week that i like the most ... Ever since I remember this has always been my favourite day ... The anticipation of the two days coming up always cheers me up, no matter in what doldrums i am ... wistful dreams of me sleeping for about 40 hours over the two days , gorging on all possible sweetmeats, roaming around the choicest of shopping malls (gazing longingly at wonderful articles, but sadly reminding myself of my poor pocket) .... oooh! I love fridays ...
Fridays have been special to me a in a lot ways ... As a kid , I always remember that my favourite subjects were always taught on Fridays ... Each year i would hope my b'day would come on a Friday ... I loved the spotless white uniform and tie that I wore to school only on Fridays (the rest of the days was the gloomy grey-blue combo) ... If the date of my birth would not fall on a friday, i would insist on celeberating my "star" b'day in the hope that it was a friday ...
When i reached college, it was a wonderful feeling to have friday coming .... for there would be weekends i would go home ... weekends where even if i stayed in hostel i did not have to see the monstrous faces of dullard lecturers... we would have the saturday evening mess which meant that there would be no dinner on saturday - we got sweets , samosas/dahi vadas/kachoris and fruits on saturday evenings ... so that gave us an excuse and opportunity to go out and eat ... hee hee ... (those tight purse string days seem so far off now) ...
When I joined office, there was no question of being the happiest on fridays , though this happiness did not last long ... for there came days when everyday seemed like a tuesday or a wednesday with no sign of a break anywhere near ....
But now, my project is cool (because we stay in b'lore hee hee).. (touch wood) ... and I am married :) ..... so all the more reason to look forward to the weekend for a nice cosy time with my husband - where he cooks for me, we watch movies , laze around , call friends ... and spend quiet evenings together eating ice creams from our favourite corner house :) ....
Yippee! it is friday again ...

7 Cup Cake

The past two weekends and the week between have been really hectic, so did not find time to pen down anything. The weekend of Oct 6th we had been for a “Fall Tour” to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan(more on this in next post). The week between Oct 7th and Oct 14th was strangely busy (considering the fact that I am “Vetti” most of the time at work). This weekend was also satisfactorily busy – Saturday was spent at a friend’s house and yesterday we had a couple over at our place ( this was nice because 1) we like the couple a lot and they are good fun to be with 2) I got a chance to experiment on my culinary skills). So, Friday night Reliance India earned a lot of revenue, when I was on phone with amma trying to get some recipes for “quick” sweets that I could make. I wanted to move away from the “comfort zone” that the easy-to-make MTR Gulab Jamun pack gave. So, I decided to make this very simple-yet-very-tasty sweet that amma would concoct at the shortest notice – this 7-cup cake. I wo

Chocolat(i) Chunnu.... Biscutta Bunnu.....

Has it every happened that there is this movie that you just happen to adore beyond reasons and when you tell that to people, who otherwise like your tastes pretty much, look at you as if you have lost your mind ? That you watch the same movie twice in two days and even then you are ready to watch it a third time too, without batting an eyelid ...  This is how I am feeling about 'Jagga Jasoos'. I keep scouring the internet hoping for news that the movie is as hit as I am feeling it should be. Everytime I ask a friend to watch the movie, I am hoping he/she feels what I felt about the movie - that I loved every frame of the movie (except of that really unnecessary "khana-peena-chale-gaye" song). In a very very long time, I have felt this about a movie I feel. And I have been racking my brains, what is there in it that makes me feel so? So, I thought what better than to jot it all down here. Some things that I loved about the movie : In a movie world where a

There are a group of food bloggers that I got to know from Indra's Site. They host an event called Jhiva for Ingredients - one food ingredient is choosen, and people are asked to send in recipes using that ingredient. The current event is hosted by Vineela, and the ingredient is Milk. Mine is not exactly a recipe based entirely on Milk, but uses milk to a small extent. It is a recipe told to me by mom. I am very amateur cook and it did not turn out to be exactly as amma said it should be (Jaana tha Japan pahunch gaye cheen samjhe na?), but nevertheless with encouragement and tips provided by hubby dear, we turned it into something tasty :). Thought I would send the recipe to Vineela, I am not sure she would post it in her fest, but nobody got flogged for trying right ? :) What you need? 1 Cup cashewnuts 1/4 cup pistachios Milk - enough to soak the above 2 nuts(around 1 1/2 cups for the above measure) Sugar Ghee- 2-3 tablespoons How to make it? Soak the cashew and Pista nuts in milk
