Things I do when Im at work and have nothing to do...

Here is a list of the things I do when Im at work and have nothing to do!

1. Topping my list is chatting. I chat with a few close, select friends.
2. Facebooking. Now, this involves a great deal of concentration. Flipping through statuses, profiles, photos, comments....the list goes on.
3. Playing games. Usually Id play games like crazy taxi or Restaurant City. Off late its been Bejewelled and Peggle.
4. Day Dreaming. This particular activity has passed on from school days. I can stare into space and think about future plans, reminisce about the past.
5. Blogging. I get these spurts of creativity, or boredom, and then begin to write:)
6. Go through the editorial of the magazine and check and re check the status and follow ups. (note that this comes somewhere toward the end)
7. Work on my freelancing jobs. Well, it is my bread and butter.
8. Think of how I can leave work early, so that I can do something constructive, like running after a train or cursing a rickshaw guy.
9. Make a mental list of things to do and which I never have the time to do.
10. Sleep. Never knew the joy of falling asleep on your laptop, oblivious to the rest of the world!!

Food, Food, Glorious Food.

I am a self-confessed foodie. I love everything to do with food, from buying/seeing/choosing fresh groceries in the early morning; to the chopping, blending, mashing, kneading; to the baking, cooking, sauteing, frying; to the smelling and finally, the eating!

Now you may think that the reason I'm pleasantly plump (thats what I like to think of myself as!) is because of all this food. But, fortunately, that is not the case.

You see, I have never had the craving for cheese! Chocolates, yes, but not cheese. Wherever possible, I like to substitute the fatty stuff with healthier options. So its maida with atta, butter with ghee, cheese with NO cheese.

I recently bought an OTG (oven toaster grill), which brings me back to my first love. The 'ding' of the oven once my cake is baked is music to my ears.

So, getting to the point, I have already baked garlic bread, readymix brownies, and paneer tikka in this super-duper oven of mine. I was sooo excited yesterday when I bought all my baking supplies that I couldnt help but announce it to the world. Have even posted a few pics on Facebook!!!!!!!

Just waiting to make the apple crumb cake now. and then apple pie, and pizza, and baked potatoes, and double fudge brownies, and ......the list goes on!!
