8.05am - Indian chai and a fresh mango, at home11.21am - an Asian-style soup, with rice noodles, shitake mushrooms, spinach and green onion in a shrimp-broth w/ some sesame oil and a couple of quail eggs stirred in, at home, with Ritesh

1.44pm - I was on a roll, so I made some bread-pudding, too. This one used up the leftovers of three kinds of bread that had gotten rock hard, plus the last apple in the house, as well as a couple of bananas. Plus a dollop of that creme fraiche. At home.

4.31pm - we were late getting ready for an Indian wedding reception an hour away, and starving, so had to resort to some McDonald's fries in transit.

Well. And then we ended up car-pooling from the in-laws' house, and I forgot both my camera and my cell phone in the glove compartment of our car. So I had to use Ritesh's cell phone to take pictures, and the lovely wedding reception food that should have been the highlight of today's post, ended up looking like this: this is an appetizer plate w/ chili paneer and mini- samosas and some Seven-Up (good for queasy stomachs)

and this is the pineapple-paisley wedding cake of which all partook for dessert:

Anything else is so dark it's beyond recognizable. And this in the age of the iPhone....
