Pony up!

You all know I got a new hair cut. And, there is a reason this new haircut makes me feel so good. I donated my hair to Pantene beautiful lengths. I have been wanting to do this for a while now, but I had layers in my hair and it took a while for me to grow them back. I am not saying it was easy. My hair one of my features that I really feel good about. I receive compliments on it once every so often. So, to cut my hair so short was a leap of blind faith. I might or might not have shed a tear when I heard the snip of the scissors and the gasp of people in the salon.
Now Imagine losing your hair and fighting a life threatening disease. That is is hard! I did my part in support of people all around the world fighting cancer and I love my new hair cut. Win-Win!:)

Have a great rest of the week!

Here's the Pantene beautiful lengths commercial.

I tend to do things in phases. Moods, you can call them. I was in a very good one this weekend and I think it shows. A hair cut and some self love is all you need to get out of the funk. Now, if I could do something productive in the kitchen, that would be the icing on the cake... So to speak.
Anyway, me and a couple of friends went to the Fort worth Botanical Gardens and it was a lot of fun. All the angles in the Japanese garden, with the light and shade was breath taking and peaceful. We should visit it more often.

Summer Grilling

What I love most about summers in the bay area, are the cool evenings, conversations with good friends and home made food. We grilled paneer and chicken yesterday like most weekends with two marinades.

Marinade 1:

1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2 tbsp mint chutney (available in the most indian stores)
2 tbsp Green chilly paste
salt to taste.

Marinade 2:

1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2tbsp red chilly powder
2tbsp tandoori masala.
salt to taste

Marinate the paneer or chicken along with your favorite veggies( we used bell peppers, onions and tomatoes) for 4-5 hours. Grill it.:)

Red, White and Blue

The long weekend is over. I am exhausted from all the fun I had.:) I went to SFO with a few friends to do a little shopping on Friday. I wore a Cotton On Dress, Chambray Shirt and Target flats. Perfect for a little chill and a lot of sun.
