A weekend that seemed to end before it began...inconsequential sequence of time...muddled in a haze of intoxication...and gluttony!a feast designed through careful and then impulsive compulsion...the Basa fish is ruling the roost!ooh laaalaa and all that...the spicy meatballs too though it was the devilled eggs that disappeared minutes after appearing!all in all the Super Shireen punch, kind of made everything so much easier to swallow:) tips for summer parties: go easy on the alcohol and heavy food ...minimises heat radiation and controls kill joy snoozers!

a tattoo of a cat consumed Sunday!pizzas followed!the advice taken from the Disco Dancer resulted in the ownership of the equipment of the month...the Electric Tandoor!Can take the difficulty out of perfection and the grease out of the food...my mans crispy base pizzas are a finger snap away!Alas he's been away too:(

work looming in the foreground..the backgrounds too dark to decipher right now...i'm losing myself in dreams and words... stubbornly making my way towards who knows what?for now the cat and me have a lazy night planned...that my friends is bliss!

To the Watchers: give Desi Boyz a miss...made a mad mistake of pushing myself through it!PAIN,PAIN!if it was'nt for Mika's voice echoing in  my brain saying 'bas ek raat ke liye' there'd be no justification for my action...Untouchables on the other hand was a riot!drooled all over Kevin Costner...where did he go?

I served this with sour cream(doritos) and trust me it was the hero of the party!
