Kids, food and books....

Well, finally done with the exams... its been a few fun weeks with Jacques Derrida, Edmund Husserl, Wordsworth, Mathew Arnold, and the rest of the guys.  Came to know about  phonemes, allophones, consonant clusters and what not.
Anyway, went to school the past fewdays to hangout with the kids... and when I am there, there's no where else I'd rather be.
                  

                                                    
Other than spending time in school, been spending some time in the kitchen too, tryin out a few dishes. Made Stuffed Roast Chicken and it came out really well...

                                                            

Grandma wanted to make some sweet appam, so helped her with that too.

                                                         

Received the new Potter book today and Harry Potter looks so much better as a fictional character than he does in the real life version. She (Rowling) does weave a good story.... though, it's a drag at some places.

Glad to know your exams are over.

"Stuffed Roast Chicken"
Did you intend to make it a roast, or did it just turn out that way? :P

"it came out really well"
How did the people who ate it came out?

OK, I am stopping with two jokes.. you can't blame me. If you talk about your cooling, how can I stop making fun of you!

hey quiana, sweet appam otherwise called leaf appam is made using Jaggery. The white coating is made with Maida and the stuffing is made of Jaggery, Banana and Aval (flattened rice)along with a few cardamom pods.

Hey Mazhalai, my food might look good, but yours always looks great. I still remember some upside down cake you made.

Hey Saj, I kinda knew you would ask this question. Its the same question my brother asked. Anyway stuffed it with a mixture of Cashew nuts, dried grapes, bread pieces, onions, potato, carrot, beans, capsicum and cheese.

Oh anju, I can't watch the potter movies, the book is bad enough. I only continue reading them cause I started the series... and I do want to know why everhbody is nuts over it. And I do have that song by emerson drive.

Hey Sandhya, now that I finished reading the 7th book, I gotta say, I dislike it even more. It was a good read yes, but not a good book. It was just too much of everything... kinda like the Sivaji movie and Spiderman 3.


TDNA, I hope one of those Amway guys corner you soon.

Mommyof2, hope your kids gudiya and A are doing well. My break is over now, but it was great fun, being home again...

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
