Came home to see all guys (PK & his friends) enjoying their drinks & nibbling. They ordered their food and we girls attacked on their food as well!!!
Sunday Morning – I woke up at 11.45!! Yes.. almost in the afternoon!! Our friends & their parents were going to come for dinner at our place, we quickly had our breakfast & went for grocery shopping which took us 2 hours!! I came home & started cooking. Here are the things I prepared for their dinner:
- Dry Channa-dal & onion & coriander leaves & lemon juice mix starter
- Store bought spicy peanuts & Aloo bhujia for biting with drinks
- For mains: Bhuna Mutton (2 kgs, nothing was leftover, 5 people finished 2 kg mutton!!!)
- Daal-makhni
- Matar-Mushroom
- Dry Aloo sabji
- Jeera rice & rotis
- Pickled onions
- Gulab – Jamun for dessert
- PK & I both were on bed, the minute after they left!!!
Oh forgot to mention that when we went for grocery shopping, they were surprised that I was not eating pani-puri there. I just had breakfast & I was to full to eat Pani-puri in the afternoon but the people are so nice they forcefully gave free voucher to me & asked me to eat!! I ate 6 pani-puris!! 😛
Monday – I woke up at 3.50 am, early morning due to tummy ache, yeah it was all because of the food & panipuris I had without any thought about my tummy. In office, whole day I spent in & out of washroom, I was so overloaded with work yesterday that I reached home at 6.45 pm. That late!!! I had khichdi & yoghurt & went to sleep.
And here I am again in the office on Tuesday morning, sipping my Mocha & thinking valentine’s day is coming this Thursday.. What should I plan??
