DONUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So last night we took Aashini to the doctor for a check-up, so we decided to walk to the mall for dinner :) We had some AWESOME Turkish food! We had a great time hanging out and chilling for dinner :) The exciting thing was that when we went upstairs we saw that our FAVORITE donut shop had opened up in this mall!!!! The closest one before was an hour away! It's a fun treat to have here and there ;) We bought a dozen of them :) (one of them even has an Oreo topping!)They have some really yummy flavors... but they also have some weird flavors too!!!
Take this one for example... the "It's Greek to Me" Donut!
It says: "Creamy cheese sprinkled with Italian herbs and topped with olives - a taste of the Mediterranean" haha! ON A DONUT!
Then there's the "Mama Mia" Donut! haha! The ingredients are: "A sprinkle of Italian herbs and sauteed garlic on oodles of cheese - just like how mama makes it" haha! Does YOUR mama put cheese and garlic on a donut??

Hi! I am Jana, Rachel's mom! You posted on my blog, SaudiStitcher, and I finally got around to finding YOUR blog so I can post back! LOL!
WHERE in South Asia are you?! I saw the camels (plenty of those around here too!) and wondered. As for donuts! We have two House of Donut's here (really Dunkin Donuts!) and I am able to get my Apple Fritter fix once in a while. BUT the best thing is that when I was coming back from Jeddah last time(at least 3 months ago! It is 3 hours away) I SAW a KRISPY KREME going in on the street we were driving on! I can't WAIT to get back there and get some! And right next door was a QUIZNOS! It's really nice when something you love and recognize comes along, isn't it? Your baby is very cute! Do you know Suzy Bomgardner? She's a close friend of Rachels (and Chris, too, along with her husband, Tim) Anyway. She has a baby boy named Oscar. He, too, is a real cutie! You can see him via a link on Rachel and Chris' blog. Enjoy the donuts! Mama Mia!

First off - I just got back from the gym! I have to walk past the donut shop both there and back and its torture! I can't believe I have to look at this! Blah!!!

Those donuts remind me of some of the stuff we saw in Japan. They actually had a curry donut, which I bit into once thinking it was something else, on man - NASTY!

"Just like Momma!" ha-ha!

The Greek one sounds gross, but I would totally try the Italian one! Maybe that's just the pregnancy cravings talking though. :)

I can't believe they opened a donut shop there!! All these cool things now that we're gone!

I like that plaid one in the top picture. I think I would eat it just because I like plaid.

These look so yummy- well the ones you picked out anyways!! I think I feel a craving coming in the near future, as long as there are no olives or garlic involved! I'll save that for my pasta! :-)

I'm totally grossed out by garlic and doughnut being in the same sentence! Yuck!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo to keep in their house for the comi

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl
