Shubh Divali!

Shubh Divali to all this day.

Are you all lighting your deyas? Laughing with friends? Praying with family? Eating the good eats?

The HOchieS could not find our deya unfortunately.  It's either broken and long been thrown out or in a closet feeling sorry for itself.  I for one feel sorry for myself.

But do not despair!

Momma HOchie made us some Divali eats today.

There was curried mango, pumpkin, curried channa and aloo, and paratha.  And pictures to mark the occasion!

yummy curried mango.  Not the right type of mango to make curried mango but still ...

Not An Epic Fail....Or Was It?

If it may be considered an epic fail, it is only due to the fact that we prefer our kurma to have a hard, crunchy texture.

Aside from personal preference, our first attempt at Kurma making was a great success.  They were crispy, flaky, rich and extremely yummilicious when fresh.

The 1/4 Indian residing in these HOchieS thereby making us 1/2 Indian when we combine our forces, worked to our advantage.

It may not look like much now, but stay with me.

Stay...

Very  hot oil.  Dangerous!

It gets better, I assure you

KAPOW!

A Trini from work ate some.

She loved them.

Kurma of this kind can now be marked off the list.

I may still need Sons to make things for us, though.

For now, MC, you may not have any so do not ask us to make for you.  We would faster make for Frass than we would for you.

Ooo, low blow.

Shubh Divali!

I did not eat any kurma today.  H1, I wonder why that is?

Shubh Divali, everyone!

A Divali Halloween?

I just checked the calendar, Divali is on Oct. 28th.
X and I think that we should all dress up as Indians for Halloween.

No sexy nuns for you, H1.

In other news, Jazz broke my glasses. Really it was just a mishap involving her bowl that fell on them but now I'm one of those...nerds you see on TV.



Gotta love duct tape though but when will they make some black duct tape?
