♥...711 ~ I am 31 now and some Diwali stories...♥

Hi dear friends!!! How U all been there???

Well, I'm still in Diwali mood right now! We had a joyous celebration this year since Hubby was around. I made 7 types of cookies including murukku. Can U believe that??? For someone like me who never made cookies for any festive before, this was really challenging! I was hooked up with my KA and oven the whole week before Diwali. I was making jam tarts until 4:30am one time, hehehe!

We hosted Diwali Open House for close relatives and friends on Saturday 6th night. I cooked several dishes for about 30 pax with the help of my dearest Hubby and my aunt from Puchong. I was abit nervous since I'm gonna cook for large number of guests (30 is large for me! hehehe)

Thank God, everything went along well and I received very good comments on my dishes from our distinguished guests. Some also suggested I should open a restaurant soon. Restaurant??? Well, I'm not up to that level yet...no way! I had enough backache cooking for 30 pax already...aaahahaha!


Overall, a lovely and colourful Diwali with lots of fireworks, sweets, food and family! I shall be posting on my cookies after we return from a short vacation, which we really deserve one! Need to relax our mind after a hectic week!

Anyways, it was my 31st Birthday yesterday (7 Nov)! Getting older and older...goshhhh!!! Just wish to stay healthy and happy with my beloved family!



Okey dear friends, till we meet again...take care!!!

    Happy belated birthday dear, and happy belated Deepavali. Wow, I don't think I've ever cooked for 30 people before altough when I was young I used to help my mum and there were certainly times when she had at least 30 or more people around! Great job on all the cookie making :)
