Our First Hike of the Year!!!

Heyi you all...
How have u been???
I had a tiring weekend..fun but tiring..cycling, hiking, walking, gyming...now my muscles are sore to core.I now have muscles which I didn't knew existed n they hurt..badly..:P
The weather have been gorgeous for past few days n Seattleites made best of it...
We went to Teneriffe Falls formerly known as Kamikaze Falls. Its a  6 miles round trip moderate hike. It would have been an easy hike if not for the new unfinished part of hike at the end. Its as rocky as it can be :)
The first 2 miles of hike is well paved and is an easy walk.

Its the second leg of hike the last 1 mile which is tough. It says 1 mile from the intersection marked "Teneriffe Falls" but it sure feels more..;).. Bring along your hiking boots for this last leg or you'll sure feel each n every rock/stone on way..:)

 The views of valley below are beautiful so is the fall.

A quick bite at top of falls(there isn't any space to stay) and we hiked back.
While everyone was taking in the views of valley I walked alone and found myself lost...
I question my brain on how I got lost on such a trail but I really got shit scared..:P..
If you see this tree below on your hike, you are on the old bootleg trail. So trace your steps back and go back. Thats what I did. And if you find pink(yes pink :P) sunglasses there send me a howler..:)
Getting back to civilization made me realize How much of a city gurl I am..

All in all it was a fun hike which left me questioning my fitness..need to work out big time to build up my stamina.
So what did you do??
Lemme know..

Chandni O meri Chandni!!!

So I was writing today's blog when I came across Sridevi's new movie "English Vinglish". She's coming back to movies after a long hiatus. This and her recent appearence for the First look for the movie got me thinking that at nearly 50(celebrated her 49th birthday yesterday), she still looks stunning.So scratched all that I had written earlier n started new again. Just this weekend we talking among our friends about Sridevi that how gorgeous she looks.The way way she's looking nowadays, she is giving the 20 something wannabe of Bollywood a run for money. With Priyanka Chopra @ NDTV Greenathon @ Apsara Awards 2012 @ IIFA 2012 @ Bhagnani-Deshmukh Sangeet @ Park Hyaat Launch @ Lakme Fashion Week   @ DCW 2012 I have always been a Sridevi fan. Her Sadma and Lamhe are among my all time favorite movies. I think at that time when actress were there to look good, she was the only one who played such wo...

Making Ghee (Clarified Butter) - From Butter

Indian Cuisine use Ghee in nearly every dish from savory Pulao/Biryanis to sweet Mithayis.  Traditionally in India Ghee is made from Cow's milk. Ghee has always been a sacred and celebrated symbol of auspiciousness, nourishment and healing; especially in the daily rituals of cooking and worship. It is thought of free from all impurities, milk residues(Lactose free), and moisture(high shelf life).                                            My mum makes Ghee from full cream that she carefully stores for days.  But here in US we don't cream when we heat the milk . So now I make Ghee at home from Unsalted butter which is quick and easy. I get unsalted butter from Costco...no one can beat Costco for their prices n quality. Ghee is clarified butter. and there is some difference between the two. Here's the process I use the make Ghee. 1. Get Uns...

Eye Exam!!!

So We went to Ophthalmologist(read eye doctor) today!!! It was my first real eye exam!!!and at 8.30 in morning..well I have nothing to say for that.. Hubby dearest was having his eyes tested so I tagged along with him.. I found it very funny and entertaining.. unlike the dental exams...:D..It went well!!! No specs yet..ALL IS WELL!! The difficult part was living with the dilated pupils for hours..At first when she squirted that yellow liquid and afterwards another one.. everything seemed normal..But when I couldn't even make out the date on my phone, it began to sink in... Imagine no laptop, no phone,no mails, NO FACEBOOK ;)... even cloudy Seattle seemed brighter..Everything was blurred..Even calling up my Maa was difficult as I couldn't make out her name!!!...It definitely took more than 3 hours that my doc said..:P.. n afterwards it wasn't much fun either...So I slept..Sleep is the best remedy to everything.. So my day started at 4 pm today..:D ...
