Feeling proud to see a succesful food blogger hailing from the VERY own Tamil Nadu ;)..
Keep rocking, Gurl! :)..

Never knew Gajar Halwa could be made in a MW..Cool..will def try.. :)
And abt the stitches..thats an infant dress done in Cable stitch(smocking)...what you see in white thread is the basic cable where you work up and down(one poke up and then down)..which gives a zig zag effect...the row in blue is the same done 4 in a stretch down and similarly up...the easiest of smocks ;)
And...
Thanks for your lovely comment..:)

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings. Feeling very happy again today in Announcing the event for the month of September and the theme is "Chicken" , which is all time favorite for everyone of us. So, come out with all your chicken recipes and am awaiting eagerly for your spicy entries. Last month during Ice Creams and Milkshakes Event, i...
