It’s already October; what was your New Year’s Resolution and did you follow it?

My new year’s resolution last year was to quit smoking permanently. I have been nicotine and smoke free for 5 weeks now. I am very happy I finally did it. It just clicked one day in my head I think. I dont want to look back as to how I did it but I just did. and Im very proud.

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

What do you think the earth will look like in the year 3500?

I think whatever water bodies are remaining will look like The Dead Sea and the land will all dry up into deserts. Not sure whether humans will survive till then, at the rate we are killing and damaging our planet and precious pure resources. I think it should be a law that the whole world should be organic and all cars and automobiles should be running on electricity to avoid polluting further. No one cares till it’s gone. Its our selfish habit as humans. Why do u think we have so many extinct animals and endangered species. After having no other species left to kill off we will eventually make ourselves endangered and extinct by making this planet unlivable. Sad future if u ask me but scarily realistic.

If you got a terminal disease what would you do?

Well, if I knew there was no hope and I had say 6 months to live, I’d probably organize a world tour and visit all my friends and family and loved ones all over the world and stay with each of them for some time to get the best memories ever before I pass. Id also make arrangements to donate my body to science once i pass which I plan to do anyways someday so that future generations will hopefully find the cures they need to survive and exist comfortably.

I initially was thinking of getting a guitar for myself on my birthdayand saving up for it and then I changed my mind and decided I wanted acamera first for my trip but i just have this ugly feeling that theyregoing to change their mind bout the thailand trip and im scared ofgetting disappointed so im just going to pretend im not going tothailand and then if it happens great. hmmm im looking to get a guitarlike one of these. Im really looking forward to getting one speciallydesigned. somethin g pink and black. not really sure yet but these twopics are some mode of inspiration to me. I donno been feeling so weirdthis past couple of hours. my friend whos just found out she’sexpecting is not sure she wants to keep the baby. she wants to have ababy but she’s not told her mom that shes married and to finally breakthe news and also tell them she’s married she’s scared theyll shut herout of their lives completely. I really think that it’s sad that such adecision is based upon her parent’s happiness when she doesnt live withthem and she doesnt realize that they will eventually accept the wholetruth of the matter and hopefully be happy for her. Life is so shortand I feel theyve made her feel so guilty about her past decisions inlife that her future decisions where they have no business areaffecting her. It will break my heart and everyone else’s if shedecides to terminate this baby. But I have the faith that she will makethe right decision and God will let her see the light. It really hasmade me stressed out. If I was in her shoes I would have the babywithout blinking an eye. Babies should only bring families closer notgive the feeling of ending a life… sigh… donno anything anymore.this all feels so surreal…

What is on your weekly grocery list?

OK, this past weekend I decided to cook and it went off successfully. I bought a whole load of groceries and it was actually fun so here goes my list in preperation for this past weekend’s meal plan…. I’ll also be nice enough to bore you with the details of what I made out of this grocery list for those culinary artists out there…

Grocery List last weekend:
Apples
Tomatoes
Onions
500 gms chicken mince
500 gms chicken breast
baked beans
soya sauce
I kilo Govardhan Cheese
1 bunch Corriander
2 ginger pieces
2 bags of mushrooms
4 carrots
2 bags of loose baby corn
1 handful of green chillies
2/3 stems of curry leaves
1 bag of garam masala powder
1 box coconut milk powder
1 bag of milk
2/3 sheets of butter paper
1 box cocoa powder
1 box of quick cooking oats
Maggi magic Chicken cubes

For that weekend with these groceries for various meals on saturday and sunday I made….
Baked beans and toast
Chicken meatball curry
Carrot-Corn-Cheese Fritters
chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies
Green coconut chicken
Carrot Raita
Caramelized Mushrooms
Rice

The meatball curry was a hit and the cookies sinfully delicious. thinking of whipping up another batch of those cookies again this weekend. They’re so easy to make that even a 2 yr old could probably do it by themselves. Here’s the recipe…. Just spreading the sin…. I mean love!!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cup sugar (I found the cookies super sweet so you can make it with 1 cup also if you don’t want them super sweet!)
4/5 tblsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
1-2 sheets Wax paper or butter paper

Boil the milk sugar and butter in a small boiling pot when it starts boiling keep it on low heat and add the cocoa powder and keep stirring after 2 mins add the peanut butter and stir continuously till it melts with the rest of the mixture. When it has been mixed in effectively add the vanilla and turn the heat off. Add one cup of oats and mix in thoroughly. Then add 2nd cup of oats and mix again. Add third cup of oats and make sure everything is mixed in well to create a consistent doughy mixture. Before it starts cooling start putting heaped tsps on the wax paper and spread out the batter to form a cookie. Keep doing so till you fill the wax sheet with cookies and use a second sheet if necessary to finish the batter. Keep the wax paper on a tray or something flat that can be put in the fridge to cool. Cool for 2-3 hrs till chilled and serve to those hungry for these delectable chocolate treats! If you enjoy this recipe make sure to pass it along to someone you know would enjoy it too. Cheers!

not affirmative..

So here is a pic of the camera I want to buy before going on a trip in Jan. The Samsung S630 I would die for the pink one  The reason why I say ‘a trip’ now and not Thailand because after I showed my excitement for the trip now my mom’s saying its not affirmative. Oh well, I’ll wish for nothing and hope for the best so I dont get as disappointed as I already am. Then she’s talking bout some trip to China which she wants to combine with India so I am not sure of anything. argh. oh well. Nothing much else is going on. L* thinks she might be pregnant. She’s kind of scared and freaking out because she has this feeling that she is and she’s not sure if she wants it or if she wants to be a mother and shes so confused. I told her to relax and told her that God will decide what’s best for her. I told her she will know the right decision to make when the time comes. I am taking her to a gynac this weekend most likely. let’s see what happens with that. Finally got my pay check for this month so looking forward to start my diwali shopping. My mom and sis are the most disappointing unenthusiastic people on this planet. I almost blew my top when my mom actually said oh your sister doesnt want any of those clothes nor does she wear them because her boyfriend doesnt like them. wtf does that got to do with anything. it’s about culture, religion, tradition and wearing an indian outfit atleast once in a year is that going to kill her boyfriend. I get so mad about the whole thing that they’ve all accepted this stranger who has changed my sister’s complete views and opinions based on his own belief. It’s really sad.  So whatever. Thats when I say balls to the world and believe that whatever theyre doing I like to be informed about but not interested in involving myself because I just get disappointed. Argh. Today I am going to the lawyer to get my divorce paperwork finished off. I have to drop off my attested copy of my birth certificate. Let’s see how quick he can wrap things up. It would be nice if he could do it soon. I think this weekend I’ll also get my pan card work finished off. It’s been pending for way to long. anyways I jsut realized I need something printed out so I need to get on top of that before I forget. Okie. Will write more later. This light is turned off….
