Four Years Ago...

Four years ago today we were doing this.

Happy Anniversay, hun!!
I love you very much.

So, what are we doing to celebrate this wonderful occasion? Well, not too much. We are going to our (currently) favorite restaurant...Byblos. After which we will head over to the Burlington area where family members will be waiting for us. Well, that is about it and that is the plan right now. Lets see if we stick to it.

X-mas weekend over

Can't believe Christmas is over. Buying the gifts, decorating, family get-togethers...are all over. It was a great year. First time we did xmas at my house. Opening the gifts was fun. Hanging out with Om and Rosh was a blast as always.

Waking up this morning was really tough. Couldn't believe I had to go to work today. Most people I know have today off. The roads were empty! The company parking lot was also empty! Seems like no one is here and getting enthu to do work is almost impossible. I am the only one here from my group. Yes, there are only 4 in our group, but still. Will try to escape little early today. Good thing it is only a 4 day week.

Looking forward to the New Years weekend.

New machines

I'm not sure what happened, but I am magically able to upload images again! Blogging without images can get boring.

So, anyway, as you can see we got new appliances for the kitchen. We got a new range and dishwasher, both stainless steel! We have a flat top stove now. (We had coils before.) It took a little getting used at first, but now I have pretty much mastered the tough stuff like making roti and boiling milk for daahi. The best part is cleaning!! It is so much easier now. The washer is something I am still getting used to. With our old one I knew exactly how to fill it to the max. I haven't quite figured out the 'dish-layout' yet. But the cool thing is..well there are 2 cool things. One, it fits a lot more dishes than our old one. It feels like we don't need to turn it on as much. Two, it actually dries the dishes. (Our old one didn't dry them.) So now I can actually put away the dishes as soon as the load is done. No more opening it up and letting it dry or using a towel to dry everything.

Both look really sleek and go really well with the exhaust fan which we put in some time back. Only thing that doesn't match now is the fridge which is white in color. But, I am not complaining because I really love my fridge. It is big enough for all our food and I like the layout of it inside. We have a 'home' for all the food in the fridge.





So, do I feel like cooking more now that I have these new machines? Well... not really :)

Weekend update

I know it’s a little late to have a weekend update since we are already in the middle of the week, but I feel like it anyway.

Friday Night:
Came home from work and went to Mango for dinner. I was craving their Tom Yum soup and it was really nice to have it. The food really hit the spot. Came home and slept.

Saturday:
In morning did some grocery shopping. Had a nice lunch at a new place that recently opened up in Millis called ‘Bagels Best’. In evening went to a friend’s 30th surprise birthday party. It was lot of fun. We were up really late playing games. First we played charades then played Cranium. Charades is when you act out something and the team has to guess what it is. It was sooo funny!! Cranium was good too.

Sunday:
My mom’s birthday! Mom, dad and Deesh came over for lunch and dinner. It was really nice. Made veggie puffs for lunch and lasagna for dinner. Both came out good. Last thing we had was cake. All turned out well and I think mom really had fun.

Coming weekend we have no plans. All I want to do is sleep.

BLaugh

As you can see in the right column I added something new...BLaugh comics. It automatically updates itself everyday. So now there will be something new to read on my blog everyday. You can go to the site and read the previous comics too. Seems like they are pretty good. If anyone knows of something better let me know.
