Weekend fun!

These past ten days, we have been trying to do something different and fun every day. Something different also includes baby-sitting an adorable eight year old (major fun!) and cooking new things for long lost cousins and my sister's friends.


The cooking this week included two frozen 'starters' to beat the Mumbai heat, dips and nachos, sangria, chili meatballs, bruschetta, good old rajma chawal and chicken and frozen oranges (one of my childhood favourites). My sweet tooth took precedence for a change and who can say no to anything cold anyway?

The afternoon stretched on to night and night to day.. And day brought vada pav and cold coffee in it's wake.

This is the reason why I love lunch plans - anything is possible after a good, long, leisurely Saturday lunch.


Lemon popsticks

Tomato and basil bruschetta

Drunken grapes.. White wine sangria

Chilli meatballs

Strawberry and beer sorbet

Guacamole dip, sour cream dip, hummus, nachos, veg sticks, lavash

Frozen oranges

 
Orange ice cream in orange cup

Vada pav!!!

With all the leftovers, we didn't need to cook either mains or starters on Sunday night as well. The husband and I enjoyed great food at no extra effort as we sipped wine and enjoyed Tees Maar Khan for the nth time! 

Lazy Sunday evenings are the best way to bring in mad Monday mornings! :)
