Mango – Peach Sorbet | Notecook

Its been long...

Its been a long long time since I sat down and wrote something. No this does not mean writing little reminder slips. I mean writing my blog. This month just seemed to fly away... I don't even remember when it began, and its almost the month-end now. Its like amnesia, I cannot remember anything but the last two weeks. Is it only me or it happens to others too?

Had a few dinner parties, enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends. Celebrated hubby dears birthday, it was simple and quite, that was good.  A few of my new creations were appreciated by my friends, it felt good. I tried my hand at a sorbet and it was a hit. Setting up home, all over again was exciting even though a bit tiring. My mom in law is back in town, so there is a month of long chats, shopping sprees and recipe swapping in store. Little princess is enjoying the extra attention from her grand-mom. Now that that I see a few less hectic days ahead, hopefully I will be able resume writing again.

When Children Start Speaking | Gomestic

When Children Start Speaking | Gomestic

There are loads of anecdotes that I can write about and all the moms out there will agree with me. And they will remember how their little ones also had some funny and some nerve wracking questions all the time. But we all miss these same silly conversations once the kids grow up.

Part of Being a Mother

Part of Being a Mother

Raising a child is not the easiest thing, but a little bit of fear for precaution's sake can go a long way in maintaining our peace of mind.

New Movies...

Just when I thought that there were no more good movies and one will have resort to animated ones I watched three recently released movies almost back to back.
The Karate Kid, whoa what a movie. Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith were so good, it was difficult to decide who was a better in the movie. An enjoyable movie that can be watched again and again. The plot was similar to the older movie but refreshing. Jaden Smith is making his father proud. Mr.Chan has matured in to more serious acting while letting the youngsters do most of the jumping around stuff.
Knight and Day, well with stars like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz no one would like to miss this flick, but one is more hype than matter. Quite a plot but could have been better. Mediocre acting by big names is a disappointment in itself. The name was somehow confusing/misleading, if anybody solves the mystery related to the name of the movie, please let me know.
A-Team, well this one was a surprise package.We did not expect a lot from this movie, but it did have a lot to offer. Sort of an action flick with some very witty dialogues and comical moments. The movie started with a bang and went on in the same way throughout. Not a moment of boredom, the pace was fast and engaging as was the end.This movie can be watched again.
So movie-wise it was a good week, lets see what other movies come up next.
