'All u can eat' night !

In the film ,'Julie and Julia', Julie Powell takes up an assignment to complete the 455 recipes from a book in 365 days. How she goes about it is what the movie is about. Cooking after the initial 'honeymoon period' with the food, starts to feel like work. When u know that u have to get home from office and also cook ,coz unless u do ,u might just sleep hungry ,the 'dining out' option is hard to resist.

Last night I found myself face to face with 'I am starving and I dont want to cook' situation. I nearly convinced myself and Asha about venturing out but at the end it was Julie who spoke to me. She said "its tuff ,but u gotto do it". Oh ya we kinda stuck to it.

Last night's menu planned - Spinach & Mushroom Quiche + Tomato basil Bruschetta (what the fuck happened to sushi ???!!!)

Actually made - Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

All Credit goes to Asha .. the Julie in my life !!

Oh yes .. ur aspiring chef here pretty much did nothing last night. It was more like ,i shall give her all the peace in the kitchen for once !! :-)
Oh ya we have our creative tiffs on a wide range of serious issues .. how much sugar shud go in the cheez cake to the flame of gas under the pan on which the lovely bread is changing its color :). Last night the kitchen belonged to her. Its just another way of saying .. I was a little too lazy to make an eggless quiche (monday is an all veggie day).

Its true .. as much as i enjoy to cook ,I love to eat. I have been really holding up the veg sushi options for a long time now. Coz i know, i wud just not eat more than one. So there it goes .. love ur food and then make it better than most restaurants in Mumbai .. u will end up being someone like me !

I know what u might be thinking. Finally after all the talk i did not cook .. :) Hey but look at the brighter side ,I did not go out either. :)

Today i dont have the 'veg excuse'. However due to eating sushi for 4 days in a row last week ,i am not particularly inclined on it today. But then the inclination always comes when that first bite of 'fish in sushi' is felt.
