A New Restaurant, and some day to day stuff...

This morning my dear sweet mother said something that almost made me cry. She told my siblings and I that something from America was coming to our city. It is going to be in a new mall called Phoenix Market City. The name of the place is…. CHILI’S! :) Our whole family was dancing around the room like maniacs! If our neighbors saw us, they would have thought that we had won the lottery or something. It was definitely a “Kodak Moment” as they say. Now that I’m finished telling all of you guys about our morning, here are some things that have happened recently in our crazy busy, Indian lifestyle.

As I write this, we (My Dad, Zach, and I) are sitting at the dentist while my sister is getting two of her teeth pulled. I have to come back tonight to get spacers so that on Saturday I can get braces on the bottom teeth of my soon to be total metal mouth. (I already have braces on the top) As we sit here we can smell fresh pound cake baking at Kalyani Bakery, which is about 500 feet from where we are sitting. We are drooling!

Zach had a wonderful birthday. We went to an indoor putt-putting place for his birthday, and McDonald’s for lunch. He had a green Lego cake for his birthday treat. (See recipe below…)

Lego Cake

-One cake mix and the stuff that goes in it

-A Cupcake pan

-A regular 9x13 pan

-Any color frosting

Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Put most of it into the cake pan, but fill 6 cupcake cups ½ to ¾ of the way full. Bake the cake and cupcakes according to the directions on the box. Once cooled, cut the “bump” on the top of the cake off, as well as the cupcakes. Place the cupcakes top down on top of the cake, and ice. Enjoy!

That’s about all for now, but stay tuned for a special “Indian Independence Day” post, with pictures!
