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....

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
