So today I finally cooked my Priyam some Polish food (well sort of). My dear friend Priyam has pretty much spoiled me with some amazing Indian food over the years . With complete shame and embarrassment I must admit I have not introduced her to our rich and fabulous cuisine. So the easiest thing I could think of was 'nalesniki' (Polish style crepes) filled with vanilla sweet cream cheese and tomato soup. Now I know there are so many other AMAZING dishes I could have picked, but I really am not the worlds greatest cook and well nalesniki I can do ;)Plus the only meat she likes is chicken.Thanks Pri for making it even harder ;)
I really give cooking an honest try, but for some reason I leave frustrated. Maybe it is because I am surrounded by amazing cooks and well they are hard to beat!If I have enough time and a great recipe in front of me then I can manage and at times enjoy it. But ask me to bake a cake well that is a whole different story. I LOVE TO BAKE!
So this year for Christmas Eve (Wigilia) I just have to let Prididdy try my mommy's cooking and show her what Polish food really is about!
After dinner I took my usual lavender infused bubble bath and grabbed my chick magazine (today's winner was "Glamour" magazine). I came across some random and yet interesting facts:
-I realized that in fact I am mildly obsessed with Marc Jacob's new fragrance "Lola"
-When a lady is in her 20's smokes and boozes it up our blood vessels constrict, which means our skin is not getting enough flow of blood and oxygen.Sounds kind of crappy to me!
-Just 1 cup of mashed potatoes with 2 tbsp of gravy and butter contains 330 calories, while 3oz of turkey breast, 1,5 cup of green beans and a cup of roasted potatoes have the same calorie intake and 10 grams LESS fat! Buuuuttt Thanksgiving is just so darn close and I have been pretty good this year! Ok, ok finnnneee!
-There are 19 million NEW STD cases each year!! Seriously people what are you thinking?!
-84% of women will wait for the guy to ask them out, buuut 82% say it's fine to call him after the first date.
Besides that all weekend was spent focusing on my personal statement for NYU. The chances of me getting in are slim. I do have the grades, but not the professional experience they are looking for. We shall see!! Ohhh I did go to a restaurant Sat. night with some friends. The waiter pretty much bought me a drink because he thought I was being lame for drinking coffee on a Saturday night?! Geeez I guess I have been a bit of a Grandma...need I mention that Pri and I ended up curling up and watching "The Propsal", instead of going out?! Shit what is wrong with me...last time I checked I was 25, single with no kids! My social life needs to be fixed ASAP! =)
