Better late than never! After a long hiatus, I'm back again to report on our Diwali party. We were determined to do the whole shebang, in terms of decorations, and sweets and cooking. We invited Carlos and Deanna over for dinner and brought out our new dinnerware. After much hunting, we located Royal Sweets, an authentic mithai store in Irving and got some samplers. We also found ourselves an "Aakashkandil" (literally a hanging lantern, in this case one made of paper) - combined with the lights, this Diwali was sure to be a bright one. I tried a mix of pav bhaji, some poriyal, jeera rice, and some sambhar. It wasn't too bad! Steph made some carrot halwa (which like always, obeys the law of diminishing returns, and looks smaller than the effort put into it- it was perfect!). Alfie was a good boy - we had to gate him, but when we let him out, he took a liking to Carlos - they are dog people too! We hope to have many more such dinners again.- Mihir
