Good Food weekend

Friday night we went for dinner to a Malaysian joint called "Banana leaf". It was the first time I was going to eat Malaysian, so you can imagine my excitement, especially since we are talking food! This place is very popular and the crowd waiting for a table proved it, ambience - dim lit with good art work on the walls can be unnoticable since its nosiy in there! Prathas as starters and Pad thai noodles were too good! Chocolate mousse was amazing as ever , though i did try the fried banana with icecream which was pretty cool.

Saturday morning I equipped myself with a driving permit after giving in a written test.So all I now need is good confidence on the roads here before i take an appointment for driving test.Anyways, that evening after a lot of cleaning, laundry and sleep, we decided to go for dinner n watch a movie.So this time dinner is Italian at DiCicco's- romantic place that believed in Retro music and native italian dishes. We had Bruschetta to start with and based on my hubby's suggestion I tried Eggplant parmasan with marinara sauce with pasta and it was soooooo good!So after that stuffing, we went for a movie at AMC - watched 1408 based on Stephen King's writing - thriller based movie starrting John Cusack and Samuel L.Jackson.

Sunday morning was late but we were invited to lunch at a friend's place - tasteful homemade Indian lunch. Evening we had some guests over like a Pot luck -we made snacks and so did thy, hence ended up having an early dinner!

Whoa! I am stuffed after a weekend...i feel I have already eaten for 2 extra days!!!
I cant recollect having so much of good food in a single weekend....

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

Fun weekend trip!!

South Lake Tahoe (Nevada) was our adventure trip this Saturday, about a 4 hr drive from where we live. we started early and until halfway i put my driving skills to test! the tuf time was for my hubby, not me...i was just glad at the opportunity!! :-)So i survived till Sacremento( i didnt know it was capital of CA). 2nd half of the drive was mainly on winding roads around the mountains while elevating yourself upto 7000ft! it was amazing as you get a scenic view of mountains n the lake below! awesome!! Once we entered the resort we first got a booking for para sail...I must admit from a distance it did look a bit too wild and so-not-like-me venture...but then the whole idea was to explore and try out new things...so went for it - from the 3 different heights of 400/800/1200ft we chose 800ft! i cudnt believe it myself, but i was in for it. so we walked around the beach area n enquired abt jet skiing while waiting for the parasail call.they made a group of 3 (a mother-daughter, a coupl...

Wedding preparations...

So we made a trip to India for a fortnight, I had to write a review- it was one of a kind.(though the characteristic of hectic is an unavoidable feature!) For the first time- 5 of us took the same flight, thats jija, sis and 3 of us, so for a start it was exciting, and the new look of the Sharjah airport was extremely pleasing, very very refreshing! :-) AirArabia was as ever on time,love this airline, had all good experiences so far! so we landed in Mumbai and crashed after a shower at my periamma's place.my cousin's little one was so cute, full of masti...the next morning was spent in selection of a suitable wedding card.Somehow it was easy to choose, since just 1 stood out in my opinion and luckily the higher authorities approved, even though they thought it looks a little small.after 2-3 corrections, the outcome was great! relieved at that work! then we went get a lehenga for reception wear,now I love to shop in India - cos of immense competition, they make you feel like the...
