Cookies!

I have been trying my baking skills with my new LG MW/Grill/Convection Oven. Baking is soooo inviting, not just eating... even the cooking part of it.. So much that Hari donned the apron and started off baking his vanilla cake!! The cake was awesome and I could not click it, for we just devoured it right out of the oven. I tried baking butter cookies today and I found time to snap the last piece left :)

Too bad I cannot paste the aroma along with the pic here.

Movie Marathon past week:



Virudhagiri -  Muzhu neela nagaichuvai padam! Gaptain speaks English, appeals for votes from the LGBT societies of Tamil Nadu and fights for student rights in Australia. It's a welcome relief that he doesn't dance in Scottish highlands or in the Swiss Alps, with a fair maiden the age of his grand-daughter.

Chikku Bukku- Ayyyoooooooo! Ezhavu! What charm does Tamil audience see in 'bubbly-bubbly' heroines?

Manmadhan Ambu- I liked it, even though Hari found it irritating.
What's with Kamal and losing a young wife? Vettayaadu Vilayadu, Mahanadhi, Kaakhi sattai, Hey Ram, MMA, Vetri Vizha, Vikram... Wikied and the list goes on and on... And it alsos mocks at me for not having watched a few films! If I aspire to do justice when I claim 'I am Deepa, Ph. D in Tamil Cinema', I need to watch them all. Also, I want to watch 'Thirakatha', a Malayalam movie said to be inspired by the relationship between Srividya and Kamal Haasan.

Mochi's is on sale. Flat 50 percent off on stock that is proving expensive to be storing any longer. Was able to find one pair among the maaasss of useless stock. For a dream price of 445 bucks! :)

Marks and Spencer boasts of a sale upto 70 percent off. Formal shirts and Jeans at less than 1000 bucks... Very surprisingly, Hari accompanied me and actually picked up something for himself at the sale! A pair of Am-I-really-wearing-anything Jeans! Too bad M&S, Chennai does not have much kitchenware yet.
