I’VE BEEN TAGGED…Kiwi Cake & ‘Meme’ in My 100th POST!!
same as before, but without ground almonds in the cake. Instead, I’ve used a basic sponge recipe as in the pineapple cake, & have added almond essence instead of pineapple essence.
Four places I’ve lived in:
Delhi, India
Bangalore, India
NOIDA, India
Gurgaon, India
Four jobs I ( thankfully never) had:
Teaching – would have torn my hair out
Acting – would’ve died of stage-fright
Bank teller – the monotony would kill me
Working in a restaurant – the pressure would ruin my happiness ‘coz I like to enjoy what I do at leisure
Four favorite places I’ve holidayed in:
Moscow
Sydney
London
Hong Kong
Four favorite foods:
Pizza
Pasta
Chaat (Indian street food)
Anything to do with coffee/bitter chocolate
Four places I would rather be:
At a potter’s wheel
Chilling on a beach
In a busy spice market in Istanbul
In Betty Crocker’s Kitchen :0)…
Four bloggers I would like to tag:
Zlamushka at her Spicy Kitchen
Vege Yum at A Life (Time) of Cooking
Julian Fairchild (Chef Jules) at Gourmet a Go-Go
Rich at A Photo A Day from Planet Earth
…& for those who are still wondering,
