Upma, Raita and Soup. Lunch with a Friend
It’s looking like fall around here; temperatures are cooler, leaves are falling, and it’s getting darker earlier. This type of weather always gets me in a contemplative mood. It’s times like these when all though I want to socialize and meet friends, I really want to keep it low-key – you know what I mean? This is the mood I was in when I had a friend over for a simple fall lunch one Friday afternoon recently. Not two friends, not three, but just one. It’s nice once in a while to have a quiet lunch with just one friend, it gives us a chance to catch up one/one and relax over comfort food and conversation.

It’s practically like walking in a Halloween street party! It’s all in good fun with everyone having a wonderful time. Here is a look at a few pictures I took of the festivities.

Wonderful Friends, Power Outage, and A Memorable Diwali Weekend.
Happy Tuesday!
Hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was eventful to say the least! It was our Indian festival of Diwali this past weekend and Indians all over the world were celebrating in grand style. I had planned a big party on Saturday for all my friends and family and had catered food and arranged for sweets to be baked by my friend Rose, only to find out Friday that the high wind danger in our area was going to cause power outages on Saturday evening! After all the planning I had done I had to reluctantly cancel our big party 😒😞. Better safe than sorry. Continue reading Wonderful Friends, Power Outage, and A Memorable Diwali Weekend.
Friday Flowers. Remembering Masi
