Thanksgiving part 2

We have some super fun friends that live in our city. They knew we (as well as a few other friends) missed the traditional Thanksgiving meal, so they cooked one for us! (How cool is that!). So last week (I think it was last week... my weeks are starting to run together) we all got together and had a fun Thanksgiving meal.

I contributed my mom's famous yeast rolls (that I didn't give justice, but they were still pretty good)... and I made the first Apple Pie I've ever made... It was OK, but it looked pretty :) haha!

We played a little Wii (even Diya played :) haha!)

The girls had fun together too :)

Thanks B & K-Rob for the fun Thanksgiving! :)

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!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

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!!
