Meme…I’ve been tagged twice & am running behind sched as usual!!)
Gary Zukav
I’m not a very keen meme person & tend to gasp if I hear I’ve been tagged…never easy to spill some beans on myself & kinda bare my soul to the world. Having said that, was tagged by Chreisi for a 6 word memoir & by Ivy for a 30 question meme…almost fainted!! 36 beans to spill on silly ole me….but these were fun memes!
Chreisi @ Almond Corner tagged me for a ‘6 Word Memoir’, where you describe yourself using only 6 words. Sorry Chreisi, I’m extremely sorry for being this long overdue, so with no further delay, shall try bare my soul a bit in 6 words, & then attempt to unravel some more in the next 30 questions…
Am currently fascinated by a little plant growing in the crook of our tree. We planted this tree 9 years ago around when our son was born…I like this tree a lot. Now it’s got this cute little seedling taking shape inside it!! Quaint!!1) LAST MOVIE U SAW IN A THEATRE?
The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Secret life of a Slummy Mummy by Fiona Neill (It’s hilarious)
3) FAVOURITE BOARD GAME?
Scrabble
4) FAVOURITE MAGAZINE?
Anything with ‘Food’
The chirping of birds early in the morning, the pitter-patter of rain…
7) WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?
Have I forgotten something very important??
8) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN U WAKE?
What shall I cook today!!! (Ivy, just had to cut & paste from yours!!)
Don’t like fast food; it’s quite tasteless. (Flabbergasted daughter weeping on my shoulder)
10) FUTURE CHILDS NAME?
Shiver-me-timbers…just the thought does that to me!!!
11) FINISH THIS STATEMENT—’IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D’
Open a baking ‘thing’ (in my daughter’s words who is still perched on my shoulder!!) & renovate the entire kitchen!
Rarely but yes, when the road’s empty & it’s early morning.
13) DO U SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
NO!!
14) STORMS–COOL OR SCARY?
Maruti Suzuki 800
16) FAVOURITE DRINK?
Chilled coffee
17) FINISH THIS STATEMENT-IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD…
Make an Opera Cake & visit Le Cordon Blue…ho humm!!
18) DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI?
Yes I give a few the odd nibble; chop up the rest & toss them in.
19) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOUR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE?
None whatsoever…OK as I am (the daughter begs blue!!)
20) NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS U HAVE LIVED IN?
Delhi, Bangalore, Gurgaon
Cricket, Soccer, Tennis
22) ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
She ROCKS, has a big heart & is always nice to blog to. (I had to write more than one; one just wasn’t enough)
23) WHATS UNDER YOUR BED?
Green goblins that the son is scared of; but nothing actually!!
Yes, but a little more patient & maybe a little taller!
Both…
26) OVER EASY OR SUNNY SIDE UP?
Hmmmmm…would go with sunny-side-up as a matter of elimination. Over easy aint me!!
27) FAVOURITE PLACE TO RELAX?
In the garden, early in the morning!
28) FAVOURITE PIE?
Am not a pie person & haven’t tasted too many. (daughter calls for blueberry!!)
Coffee Almond Fudge
Playing with my food…
Thanks for still being here!!
Deeba @ PAB
About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

Deeba loved reading your meme.

Bellini Valli
It was great to learn a little more about you Deeba (and your daughter too):D
Ivy
Thanks Deeba for doing the Meme. I enjoyed reading it and your meme reveals a lot more than words say e.g. what a caring mother you are, always mentioning your children. The Scoobie do fashion was here three or four years ago and I used to sell these in the bookshop/stationery store I had. Girls were crazy about them, so was my daughter.
We must also thank your friend who sent you the books because I am sure we will also benefit when you start reading them.

Hi there Val…just got back from reading yours & the beautiful Father’s day post too. Loved it!
Thanks Ivy…this is the 2nd time she’s picked up this craze. You are quite right…the last time she drove all of us nuts, was when we visited the UK 4 years ago. My fingers used to get knotted up just looking at her!! Thanks for tagging me…was great fun!!
