Marathi Mehfil Coming Soon...

I am organizing a "Marathi Ganyanchi Mehfil" in our apartment complex.

I have managed to get a group of like minded friends who are as enthused about the Mehfil as me.

The tentative date is January 8th, 2011. I shall post again once have the confirmed the dates.

The objective of this Mehfil is to sing and revive Marathi songs. I have already shortlisted these songs

1. Reshamachya Reghani -> A Marathi Lavani
2. Latapata Tujha Chalana -> A catchy Song
3. Mendichya Panavar -> A slow melodious song
4. Gomu Sangateen -> A duet to be sung by me and Kris.
5. Shukratara -> A Romantic Duet
6. Gagan Sadan -> A Bhaktigeet to start the session.

More information later... Watch his space...

HNY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

I hope this year of the new beginnings for me is as prospering to me and to you.

A resolution this year is to be more active on the blogsphere!!.

The Winner of MasterChef Austrailia is….

…. ADAM.

Wow!!! I had bet on Adam and I won it!!! Yesterdays’ challenge was preparing a Snow Egg pastry and frankly for a moment I thought Callum would lick it!! As he has a sure hand when it came to desserts , I was a bit worried. But well, “alls well that ends well” and the best Man Won.

Adam deserves it!! He has a firm head on his shoulders. He thinks right and works on his dishes without any tension. The pieces he brings to the table are innovative and he has the advantage of also knowing oriental food techniques. The episode on Dec 29 involved cooking a protein in 3 diff ways. Adam chose pork and he used one technique (Japanese Chinese) where he minced the meat with two butcher knives hitting alternatively. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!! But surely I don’t have the guts to try it. (of course I would have to try it on some veggies since i don't eat meat)

Way to Go Adam!!

Spoiler -> Seems what we saw in India is a stale show (BLIMEY) The contest aired early this year on 19 April 2010 on Network Ten, concluding on 25 July 2010

More info on Wikipedia…

Anyways, I m now eagerly waiting for the masterchef series 3. It will start in April 2011, means lates 2011 for us Indians (sniff sniff)

New Microwave Oven

Congratulate us friends…

We finally bought the Microwave oven!!

And yes as you are thinking right this is our 10th anniversary present to ourselves.

After hankering for LG 7148 and spending much time on 'Oo Lala ' ing on the features guess which did we finally buy?

ONIDA Black Beauty!!!!

Yes we were bowled over by its looks, it pricing and ahem the offer. The sales man did a good job in promoting it!

We have got a 3 non stick pans set along with it!!!

(Our tribe of non stick pans is increasing)

Now don’t think I m gonna blog about the delicious meals I cooked in the microwave. That will be done by my hubby .
