Potpourri - Food party at # 344 (Mardi Grass Apartments)

I started this trend last Friday. That day, i was expecting 3 of my "Indian" friends to come over for food and drinks. I quote that because now i am mostly with my American friends. Everything was looking good except when these bunch of people call me in the morning and express their grief that they wont be able to make it. You cant expect much form these people, i knew this was going to happen. so like every day the sun set and i began to make food. My roommate Sean who is also very fond of Indian food asked me what i was up to. I told him my situation about my friends ot turning up. Honestly, i bought lot of beer, hard stuff and cocktails for my friends. Sean did not want to go to his Fraternity house and decided to stay with me. He mentioned there was stuff he had to cook before it went bad. We finally decided to have a food party. There were drinks and people Sean called over.



I prepared Punjabi Chole, Yellow Dal(Tadka Maarke.....You indians will understand what this means), roti and Basmati rice. Sean now can speak the word "Punjabi Chole" very fluently and loves it. Sean prepared some "mixed vegetables" with rice. God, this was awesome and heated his mom's "ham with beans soup". The whole potpourri was extravagant and amazing. They say practice makes a man perfect. Very true, i see day by day my food's taste bringing wider smile on my friends face. I and Sean like spicy food and make sure the food is pretty HOT. Meanwhile, Sean's friends came over. I had couple of beers and then 3 Bacardi rum shots with him. Others had "tanqueray gin". We also watched "Casino Royale" together on DVD.

I could have put more pictures but am sure you guys trust me as far as food is concerned. I look forward to next food party this Friday. You are cordially invited. Hope to see you soon !
