When a surprise visitor visits

It was Saturday evening and i could see that Sheru was lost in deep thoughts. Jhol hai boss. Big problem awaited.

 Was waiting for him to come out from his trance mode and out with his keeda running inside his head.

Finally he came to me with his proposal of going out and getting wet in the rains with next day being Sunday. Since it had been a long time since i got drenched in rain purposely, the idea seemed exciting to me. So we planned to go to the Worli Sealink the next day. Our hero was already prepared with his red polka dotted shorts for his rendezvous with rain 2012.

Sunday came. We got early so that we could get ready and leave by 11.00am. Suddenly the door bell rang and We had a surprise visitor (for an overnight stay)!!!! a family friend from Timbuktoo. Worst part was that the visitor was pesky and irritating. What can i say more? All hell broke loose.

This visitor saw our cute lil cat (he thought it was a cat - starting point of irritation for Sheru :) and started playing around with Sheru who just wasn't in the mood as our plan got cancelled coz' of the visit. But still Sheru relented and tried playing with the him. But the guy started poking and tickling Sheru for fun. And the temperature had already shot up to cool him down.

Sheru growled stereoscopically (if there is any such word) popped out his tongue as if to say "Get lost you moron".

And boy the look on the visitor's face was worth seeing when he realised that all this while he was messing around with a Lion :)

A dash of mango infusion into my body

Well even though the much awaited MANGO season has almost come to an end, I am still receiving good, ripe Alphonso mangoes (my fav) all thanks to my sis-in-law's dad. 

Today again was a special day but with a difference. I prefer having mangoes with spoon (Sophistication!!!) with some Chaat Masala ka tadka. But this time i decided to make mango smoothie.

I put da cut mango pieces into a blender and topped it with huge scoops of fresh cream, 12-13 drops of vanilla essence and ice cubes and blended it. Voila!!!

Amazing Mango smoothie (unexpected for it to turn out well :)) was ready in 5 mins. Served it with mango pieces on top and it just melted into my mouth.

Must try before all the mangoes in this earth vanishes till next year.

MANGO truly da king of fruits.

Bomb Scare

Yesterday Sheru had called over his friends for a niteout and had ORDERED me to make his fav. Rajma Masala. As usual he overate it went off to sleep.

Having a past of farting after overeating, the history repeated itself. Sheru was in sound sleep and suddenly without realizing he gave out a small sound. The sound woke him up. With only one eye open, he looked around the room to see where the sound came from. And when he couldn't see anything, his highness went off to sleep again. And this time, a bomb exploded. 

Sheru got so scared with his own fart sound that he tightly closed his ears with his paw. Look here;

His friends are still in state of shock. And Sheru is in sulking mode after I had a hearty laugh. :)

Fruit salad with a twist

Being at par with a Michelin starred chef in terms of cooking :) i tried my hand at making fruit salad with ice cream and mint and for the first time i was bowled over by my own creation.

Being choosy about food, i was prejudiced about certain fruits without even tasting them. So i thought this is a nice way of tasting them with ice cream and mint as a Savior in case i don't find a particular fruit interesting.

So I put all the diced fruits into a bowl and topped it with strawberry ice-cream generously and sprinkled powdered mint in the end. Easy way is to powder Polo mint :)

This made the less tolerable fruits edible with some cooling and minty effect in your mouth. Yummmm!!! You can also variate it adding honey on top or chocolate sauce on top of the ice cream.

Pain point: skinning and dicing the fruits. Otherwise its a five mins job and voila u have a health and tasty fruit salad ready for snacks or breakfast or post-dinner desert.

Heart Melt

When I had first got Sheru home from the jungle, I really didn't know what to expect or how to react. He was frail, scared, hungry and lost in the jungle. Since we didn't keep non veg at home. I just hoped I could be able to bottle feed this tiny creature to satiate his hunger pangs but was unsure if he would be even remotely interested in smelling the milk forget even actually drinking it. I thought of giving it a try! And Voila it took only few seconds for the bottle to get empty. He indeed was very hungry.

Even today he loves his bottle. Its a sight to watch him drink milk. While drinking he will stare up at you with his big eyes that will melt your heart!
