Guys and food

Today, we had a nice little party at Vivek's place. It was good end to a hectic saturday. Well, not exactly hectic, coz we work so much peacefully with full music on the weekend, that its actually fun:-) Its unbelievable that these guys here cook so 'wow'!!! That guy made a complete meal right from appetizer to dessert all by himself for 16 of us!!!! Though, I call myself a exceptionally good cook who loves experimenting on her guinea-pigs (err...friends:), but I cannot handle more than 8 people at one time (thats the maximum intake capacity);) There were french fries and then there was paneer, dal, pulav and subzi and kheer..I can so firmly say that when guys do cook....they follow the recipe to a T..Its amazing how people, exactly add two tomatoes and notthing less or more if the recipe demands for that quantity:-) Well, thats how these guys over here are...if not anything Vivek's wife will be a lucky girl:)) [Well, to digress over here, I know so many guys who actually can give some girl a complex! One of them being my 'Mama' (Uncle), who makes wonderful 'Biryani' ..as in making it a real traditional way, steaming in a vessel with kneaded dough and all that..No matter, how much I try, I can never make it so 'wow' nor do I have the patience to make it the xact way that it should be:D] But, the best part of the evening was dumb-charades!! We alwa'ys have a fun time playing that game! Towards the end, when we actually run out of 'difficult' movies..we end up making 'home production'...some wierd names...and then having a huge debate over the aunthenticity of the movie:)) examples that we used today: Nagin ke teesri aankh, Lootere ko ek sahara,Ganga kinare ghar basa!! I mean, we come up with these oft-forgotten movies only at this time! Thank god! the building has all indians, otherwise with the 'hungama' that we guys were doing at 2:00 AM, the police would have come in no time to give us a warning:))) OK! so I had this Indian style wine today..Want to know how we made it?? We girls were pretty much interested in trying this 'Merlot' wine today and since it was kinda bitter, we added some rock salt and some lemon to it:D..so it tasted as good as our good ol' 'Kala Khatta' lolz! as ridiculous as it sounds...we had the wine in our way:)) Much to the agonizing, bizzare looks that we got from the guys, as to how idiotic that can be! Spoiling the whole look-feel-taste of this eclectic drink such as wine:)) Hmm! looks like I need to hit the sack now. It was a time well spent!!
