Raining on a Sunday.....

Last Sunday was beautiful, it was pouring the entire day and we couldn't go out anywhere, though we did go to church, and came back soaking wet. We (Tonio, his cousins and me) decided to spend the evening baking a cake.





This is the nut cake and the strawberry cake we baked. I was actually surprised the nut cake came out well, cause I made it without a recipe. I had to give it away to people though, cause Tonio doesn't like nuts and I didn't want to eat the whole thing and put on weight. I can't wait to go back home and start baking again for Christmas.
P.S: The baking utensils I am using here were given to me by Judith Aunty for my wedding and I love them.

On an unrelated note, I read this in the paper today. "Dhoni has reassured us that he is no Samson and that locks or no locks he can still plunder runs". He does look even more dashing with his new haircut.... doesn't he?

Saj, I knew you would comment on that statement... and I am actually impressed with the comment(it's actually a clean comment, I was expecting somethin else.)

Mazhalai, yeah I am on a strict diet now... there are four weddings/engagements in December/January and I want to be able to fit into my clothes.

Jude, yes i will, the next time I come there.

Charmaineeeee, I am trying to lose weight, I keep sheena in my head as role model :) Megh's all in good time, though I know what the cousins will give you after you get married "the book of life". That reminds me I have to buy a copy for saj. And the nut cake was better, the strawberry cake is the packet mix that you get... anyone can make that.

Tina, nice sentence... your mom bakes right?

Tonio, I like the cake better.

Appletini, forget the cake... how does an appletini taste?

saj, he was the one who kept pestering me to put nuts in the strawberry cake. I told him "if you keep quiet and leave me alone, I will make another cake with nuts in it"
Antonio said…
Yah i agree i asked you to put few nuts in strawberry cake.
But i didn't asked you to make the cake which was absolutely looking like a "Kadalai Mittai". Up,down,right,left,inside wherever i saw i found only nuts not cake.
But the strawberry cake was awsome girl.
Antonio said…
So Please dont say its a "Nut Cake"
Its a "Nut Case"

tonio, it is a nut cake, but the person baking it is the nut case :D

kavideyyyy u dont want to use sheena as a role model anymore. she's become fatttttt......ok, not fat, but shes put on weight...LOTS....you have to make both the cakes for me k, packet or no packet. and for saj, all the books written will not be enough for him.

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....

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...

And nobody was named Fred....

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...
