For giving me two precious gems - S & M.
For the Prince-cut diamond - J.
For my parents, who didn't think twice before dropping everything to come over and help me.
For my brother, who still considers me a good friend. And his wife who apparantly likes me :D
For my ILs who love my daughters from the depths of their hearts. Who probably love me too, in their own way.
For my friends who love me enough to throw me baby showers. Who come to my house from 100 + miles away even when they are going through chemotherapy because they "miss the baby". Who are willing to spend one whole day with me. Who cart my daughter to and from activities sometimes. Who bring me lunch and dinner when I need it. Who cheer me up when I am down in the dumps.
For my job because it provides me with the intellectual stimulation that I crave.
For my blog friends who leave caring comments and offers of help when I share my problems on my blog.
I thank Thee, for I am blessed.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Doesn't matter if you celebrate it or not. I wish you happiness on this day and for the rest of your lives.
We are celebrating Thanksgiving with loving friends this year too. And this year I have my parents with me to add to the happiness. Menu has been decided, almost half the preparations done. House is still a little messy. Maybe we'll be able to clean it, maybe not. Who cares? Who cares when the company is good and the food delicious? (Even if I say so myself :P)
Thanksgiving menu - desi ishtyle:
Chhole-Tikiya
Muthiye (A gujrati dish made with shredded cabbage, whole wheat flour and other spices - yummy!)
Katori Chaat - Crispy deep fried bowls made with all purpose flour, filled with sprouted lentils, cucumber, shredded cabbage, potatoes etc. topped with yogurt and chutneys)
Moong Dal Ki Kachori
Fruit Cream - Whipped cream loaded with fruits.
Vanilla Icecream topped with chopped nuts
Have a good one, everyone!
How lovely :) Have a good one.

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving ! this day should be celebrated everywhere in the world to make us count our blessings and be thankful for them (to give ourselves a break from the moaning we all often do).
ReplyDeleteThe menu sounds great. Are you a gujrati ? I love muthias, but don't know how to make it. If you have a simple recipe, would you mind posting it :-)
Have a great time !!

2B's Mommy: My husband is gujrati/kutchi. I learnt a lot of gujrati dishes from my MIL and SIL and love making them. I will email you the recipe as soon as I can. If I don't send it to you in a few days, could you please "leave" me a whack on the head as a reminder? :P
UTBT: Welcome! I have been thinking of doing a post on the same lines but others like you always seem to do a great job and I felt I wouldn't be adding anything more to it. But I will definitely try to do a post on it now.
Well said. Happy Thanksgiving to you all
