I really look forward to the 2nd saturday of the month cause its the only weekend in which our company is closed for saturday. This particular weekend, I had a full diary. It started with my waking up at 5am to do a 27K run, after which I had to rush home, shower, dress, grab two omlettes with bread and head towards Powai in my car, to meet up with my friends at Colgate for an interactive session on strength and running.
At noon, my bro-in-law Joe came over to take us out for lunch. Actually he likes Bryan a lot and, Monsoon & I, simply enjoy the fall out of the "treats" he gives him:-) We had some "Chivas" while Dojo did his thing about getting "familiar". We then headed off to "Tian", a truly speciality Chinese and Japanese restaurant. We had a satiating lunch of "red pepper fish", "spare ribs", "chicken in oyster sauce" etc. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Joe gifted us (in my opinion) the most beautiful statue of "Our Lady of Fatima". It is magnificent!!!!
Dinner on saturday, was an invitation from Rajni. Actually the dinner happened because, on Rajni' recent trip to London, she returned with a "Captain Morgan" rum, which she knows I enjoy a lot. Allen and family joined us too and we had some nice conversation with "paneer pakodas in coriander sauce"; a very unique preparation that Rajni' delicious punjabi cooking dished out. I surprised myself (as I seldom go for desserts) by opting for a "rabri with falooda", which caused me to swoon in delight with every spoonful.
Sunday evening was dinner at my sister, Lucy' place. It was a belated kind of party for both, Ian (my nephew) and me as we are born on the same day of the month. I gorged on fried sardines, pork vindaloo and pulao; not to forget the "black forest", I was told was "non-negotiable":-) All in all, one of the most hectic and gastronomically diverse weekends!
