It's long time since i blogged. I was very busy with my kitchen renovation and ofcourse my kids and daily routines. Wanted a break, to releave my stress, so just joined with my friends and had a eat out at the nearby park. The weather was very sultry though after a heavy showers of rain. After eating our dinner we went for a relaxing walk. The kids were playing screaming on top of their voice. All the men were enjoying gossips and were in their own world. The menu for the party was very simple but very delicious one. Vegetable Pakoda for starters with drinks and chips, followed with Ghee rice, Channa masala, Pepper curry, curd rice with pickle. Last but the least, delicious ice-cream (caramel almond fudge) for desserts.
