To Market to Market...

Adam and I have two markets near our house that have become our favorites :) These aren't the flashiest markets or biggest markets... but they have their own fun :) We call the one in the pic below our M-town Market because it reminds us of M-town, the prices are closer to M-town prices and we know were and how to get things in this market :)
The other night we were at this market and two of the "trash people" (people who pick up trash around the market) were fighting (just yelling) at each other... and in true South Asia style, it took about 2 seconds for everyone to gather. You can't see that well in this picture, but everyone in the market flocked to the scene. It's kinda like in elementary school where there's a fight and everyone comes running to see it.... but faster... it only takes a second for everyone to get there.... it's pretty funny. I didn't describe it very well, but you might get the picture :)
There's another small market by our house that has become one of our favorites. It's a market made up of people/sellers from the far East of our country, so the language is different, the food is different and it's just plain fun to walk through. We found a place there that rents movies (good ones and not theatre copies), a guy that makes GREAT egg burritos, some crazy veggies that are shipped over from the far East, some awesome Pakora (battered and fried veggies - yum!) and even a Baskin' Robbins!! The Baskin' Robbins is funny in that market - it doesn't really fit in, but it's wonderful! It's a VERY tiny shop... there's room for maybe 4 people to stand inside and they usually have 21 flavors and not 31, but it ROCKS! Yesterday they had mint chocolate chip - yum!!

Anyway, yesterday we went out to rent a movie and get some ice cream, burritos and other fun snacks... and at one of the sweet shops we saw these cookies... At first I thought these were cool because they had mine and Adam's initials on them (AS)... but then the shape of them confused me... they kinda look like rear ends... so I thought I would post them because they were funny looking - and I hope that I'm totally (and cluelessly) not posting something totally inappropriate :) I just thought they were funny :)

The fight thing is so true! This summer at the airport, at both our departure and our arrival, a fight broke out IN the airport! And we kept looking for officials to come whisk away the angry men, but no one did. Eventually the tempers died down, and everyone was allowed to board the planes/pass through customs. :)

Maybe those cookies are bugs? I kinda thought they looked like ladybugs... I dunno.

Comic Con 2013

 Comic Con 2013 just ended.  It was a fun one this year.  This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here.  We've been to it all 3 years.  It's getting bigger each year!  I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded!  Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :)  Aashini and me :)  For the Love of Comics...  Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!!  This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :)  There were lots of people there!  Me and the girls on the 2nd day :)  I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

MasterChef Australia!!!

MasterChef Australia is a great show!  When it's on, we get it 5 days a week.  There are TONS of episodes.  The thing that makes it really cool is that the judges and contestants are all so nice!  The contestants don't stab each other in the back and they even help each other!   Anyway, the other night (a couple of weeks ago) some friends of ours were in town and wanted to go to Chili's, so we went over to the mall to eat :)  When we got there we saw that the bookstore had the Judges (and very famous chefs/restaurant owners) inside signing cookbooks!    When we got inside, they had just closed off the line, so we weren't allowed to go through the line and get them to sign a cookbook or get a pic with them :(    So... we stood as close as we could and took pics :) haha!  (and I didn't have my camera, only my phone to take pics)... Here's Gary...    Here's George with my friend Amy :)  And my at...

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!
