Gone Fishin

Sunday Nathan and I wanted to find a new place to fish where we could take Bella with us. She loves the ocean and lakes (hates the pool) and I knew she would have a riot. We had a lot of bites, but no luck catching something we could eat. We caught some catfish, and a stingray. Better luck next time I guess...we were using squid for bait, typically we use shrimp.






Here's Bella in all her glory, getting the chance to dig.

I discovered it while noodling around on my Droid this morning while drinking my coffee.

Blogging Will Be Light

... as Jacob hinted yesterday, we have a business trip to New Orleans this week. We'll post as much as we can from there, but we have no idea what it will be.

Mark Ronson at Razz


Last friday I went to Razz with Vic and Esther for the pre-SOS Festival party. Mark Ronson was doing a dj set and it was really amazing and funny... we danced like crazy bitches, hahaha!




We started the night at Dixie, a pub near Razmatazz in wich we waited for Eric and his friend Gero. Dixie is a nice place. 

After waiting for Eric, we went into Razz. The first surprise of the night was that the first dj had this GORGEOUS t-shirt... Crystal Castles ftw!

 
 
 Eric & me doing the numb...
 

After drinking and dancing a little bit, Mark Ronson was on the stage! He did a great dj session, very very funny... you couldn't stop dancing!
 
 

So, a great friday night!

 

SINDHI KOKI

This is a traditional Sindhi breakfast dish.

Wheat Atta (whole wheat flour) - 3 cups
Oil - 4 tbsp
Onions - 1 (very very finely chopped)
Green Chillies - 4 (finely chopped)
Coriander Leaves - 1/2 cup (finely chopped)
Dried Pomegranate seeds - 1 tsp (crushed)
Caraway seeds/kummel seeds ................. 1 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:
1. Take flour in a bowl. Add the entire 4 tbsp oil into the flour and mix well with fingers until the oil disappears into the flour.

2. Add the onions, green chillies, coriander leaves,caraway seeds, pomegranate seeds and salt and knead the into a hard dough using water.

3. Make about 5 big balls from the entire flour quantity.

4. Roll each ball into a 5 cm diameter thick circle of 1 cm width.

5. Heat a roti pan, and place the thick rolled out roti onto the pan. Heat for exactly 3 seconds and not more, and turn over. Heat this side also only for 3 secs, then remove onto a platform.

6. Immediately roll this half-baked roti into a large roti, double the original size.
7. Transfer onto the tawa again, and fry using 2 tsp pure ghee or butter, until it becomes well baked.
8. Remove. Repeat with the other balls.

Serve hot with yogurt sprinkled with salt n pepper and pickle.
