    Happy New Year 2008

    Yes, my dear friends and family - Wishing you a Happy New Year 2008, a prosperous & joyous one to come your way.  This post was put at this time because if I did publish it earlier, everyone would have been busy with the New Year celebration that no one would have read it.  Now, we all have resumed with our daily routine and new year seems a time of the past...we can get back to reading my thoughts.... Embarrassed
     
    On 31st when we attended the evening service at Chruch, the priest said, rightfully, that we go to Church for 2 reasons... 1st reason, to thank God for all the rewards / favours / happiness that He granted us in 2007... 2nd reason, to lay our petition to ask for the same in the year 2008...  I might sound relgious, now, but I believe this is true... hmmm... any say? Eye-rolling
    Let's reflect...  We think back and feel good only of the good favours and times that we got our way as the blessing that was granted to us... We forget and don't want to think of the times that we were sunk low with "bad luck".  But those were times of hardship & stepping stone to the blessing... Believe it or not?  I've checked my life and that has turned true...
     
    Anyways, away from the philosophy of life... to New Year's Day...  We had a small family gathering for dinner in which we had invited my Dad, Mum and my brother, Agnelo, & family.  We began with a snack for Garlic Cheese Bread... everyone seemed to enjoy it Smile
    Being a weekday, and everyone needing to get back to work the next day, we directly move over to dinner... Surprise to follow... No salad (a new change from our usual buffet)... Jeera Fry Rice, Mutton Vindalo, Chicken Wings (prepared by Bena)... Yes!! you can see the new creation "Turkey & gravy with mashed potates"... It was not the tradtional American way of cooking nor was it the Indian (Spicy) way of cooking it...  I post the receipe later...  Bena's speciality "Bread Pudding"...  Overall the dinner was wonderful but the sad part was that not much of the turkey was left over...
