MMMMonday

Slept late last night, past midnight, result, I almost felt asleep at my desk ... How embarrassing.. Almost! Anyway surprising how quick rotis are to make! I got home around 7:30. Quick change of clothes and off to the kitchen! Luckily Jay had started making his awesome mint chutney (recipe courtesy of me Pops!). Motivated me to get right into roti making. We've had a good stretch so far! Leftover cabbage curry and toor dal from last night served well. Jay cut some juicy oranges for a lovely refreshing dessert... Mmmmm so good!!!!! Forgot to mention We had a plum each for appetizer and some water soaked almonds. Jay had put them in water and in the fridge yesterday. They had turned so soft and buttery and just fell apart in your mouth, too good.

Walk around the neighborhood

Today we woke up early around 6:30 AM considering it was a Sunday. We quickly got ready and headed out for a brisk walk on Rinaldi street, headed west. I clicked some pictures of the different flowers along the sidewalk; they looked really fresh and pretty and of so many different colors and types.

We walked for about 3 miles total with me clicking away on my phone. The weather was perfect, not too hot and the sun was just warming up. Crossed the 118 freeway on Rinaldi, what a pretty sight and quiet during this time.

Since we were very satisfied with our activity level for the day, we decided to treat ourselves to some delicious gobi parathas ....mmmmm! Jay helped grate the gobi, while I kneaded the dough using the handy dough mixer my dad gave me during my last India trip. This thing is amazing! I get the right dough consistency, consistently! We had kadhi and baigan bharta and mint chutney from yesterday to pair the parathas with.. delish! Also, homemade mango pickle, a gift from my mom, made the entire meal so authentic.

Well fed, we relaxed for a bit and I got some time to write up our very second blog!
