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 attempt at a picture "with" George :) haha!!

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!!

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!

Jaya's Engagement!

My good friend Jaya (Mayank's sister that lives in M-town) - just got engaged! On Sunday, I took the trip to M-town to go to her Engagement Ceremony (or Ring Ceremony). It was a lot of fun :)! First Stop - Beauty Parlor! We walked a little ways down the street to a lady's house. The beauty parlor was in one of the rooms in her house. Jaya had already been to her house that morning to get her hair done, but now it was time for the makeup. This beauty parlor was interesting because it only had 2 light bulbs in the whole room (and they were the energy saver kind that were dimmer than the regular ones), so it wasn't that bright inside the room. Here's a pic of Jaya in the chair getting her makeup done. Notice that her hair is crimped. They use the crimper on people's hair when it's a special occasion - awesome!!! They put a bindi on her head and then the lady painted more and made it super fancy. Here's the finished product (after 1.5 hours)! She...
