Gone Appétit

After reading the chapter about the filthy stories from behind the curtains by the waiter himself, it’s not bon appétit, it’s all GONE appétit. Ugh!
By the way, like they always do on TV, and like our lovely lady Nigella is demonstrating in this picture here, do the chefs really taste the food directly with the [...]

A good book

I’m at a stage where I need serious therapy for deaddiction from reading blogs. For example, a Sunday is not quite a Sunday, unless I read post secret with my morning chai. A weekday is not a weekday, unless I get my daily fix of the brat and the bean. And then there are the [...]

TV Reality

When I read this, I realized that it has been three months of no television programming for us too! We moved into a new house and decided against getting a new connection. Just like that.

A question

What is heavier?
A kilo of cotton or a kilo of steel?……….The answer as you would’ve guessed is that both have the same weight.
Now imagine carrying a 7 kg sack of potatoes versus carrying a 4-5 month old baby (average 7 kgs). They should both feel equal right? Wrong. No seriously, why does carrying the [...]

Are you for real?

Oh you perfectly french-manicured goddesses,

Do you ever do your dishes?
Have you ever chopped a single french bean?
Does your personal assistant swap the TV channels for you?
Do you ever take a shower?
Are your nails and you for real?

I mean I apply nail polish and within 5 seconds, I am sure to get a phone call [...]

When you catch yourself humming your mobile ring tone, it’s time you got a life!
