Lets' do a recap of the last two weeks.... actually we work in weekends so, here is the last two weekends...
Weekend number 1, we played risk on saturday with the crew below:
It was a marathon session, we started at 5pm(after being advised the start was 4pm) and didn't finish until 11pm. We stopped breifly for dominoes pizza dinner, but the urgency of the game, and the risk of having alliances formed while you where away from the table was too dangerous so we played through.
The strongest player by far was Megan( first timer), and had it not been for mark and my upheld alliance, I do not believe I would have won after having beaten Mark for the champion's title in the game of "global domination".

Sunday ended up being a nice lazy day for dvd watching and sleeping.

Ahh I love my weekends.










This weekend just past has been a hectic one. On Friday arvo we went scouting for Indian Butter chicken ingredients, in preparation for the Bollywood night we were to attend on Saturday night. After getting home and resting for a little while, we were roused once again by a phone call advising of a new bridesmaids dress design. After quickly scooting out, trying on the dress and returning to advise of a positive fitting, we were off to bed.

Saturday we had a day of domestic bliss... we cleaned, washed, cooked and vacumned. About 2pm we were done, and that's when mark started cooking for the Bollywood night. Much time and effort was placed in the cooking of 2 seperate butter chicken recipes(one from sauce, one from paste). At approximatley 4pm a cry went up! On assertaining, it was revealed that both bases were infact pastes, and instead of putting the required 4 table spoons(approx 56 grams) of butter chicken paste, mark had put the whole jar (380 grams) in. Its was ass burning hot. Trying to correct it at much as we can with excess cream and yoghurt, and failing, we went to the bollywood night with heavy hearts.
After we had finished eating, Kayzad and Megan finally came. They, being indian, both love their spices, so we got them to try our butter chicken. While pointing out our butter chicken we were enthusiastically confronted by one of the indian hosts and the following conversation persued.
"Did you make that chicken dish there???"
-Yes my boyfriend did
"OOOHhhh My god is SOOOO delicious!! How did you make it?"
-Umm actually by mistake.
"ohhh its sooo good, I am tempted to lick the remaining sauce"

It seems that this opinion was held by a few of the authentic indians at the event.
Congratulation Mark, you have had an indie bindie say they love your indian dish!

After the meal there was to be a bollywood film, but as the place was packed and mark was cramping up, we decided to come back to our place with megan and watch a dvd on our comfy, cramp free couches.

Sunday was just about as busy. We cleaned, and shopped. The bridesmaid dress that was tried was purchased, after much confirmation of the right colour. We then went shopping for steamboat.


Having been stung by the lateness of the boys, we advised that the start time was 6pm, and advised megan of 6.30pm.
A extra special mention goes out to Leo for being the first to arrive, abeit 20 mins later than the time specified, but still the first to arrive!
Anyway, steamboat started at 7pm, intermission was at 9pm where we played buzz. Megan is just tooo quick with the buzzer and won 2 out of 2 rounds.
After intermission, most of us went back to steam boat, but Leo headed for the "Diet" Cake.

Having already eaten one slice(quater) Kayzad decided to challenge Leo to an eating competition. I think the both regretted it... so much so that Leo wasn't at work today!
Great laughter was had by all that was not partaking in the face stuffing comp!

Anyway, the eating and frivolities concluded at about 11pm, and there our weekend was over.

Till next time... Same bat time... Same bat chanel.
