World Wide Cooking

To all my friends and family at home who enjoy cooking (you know who you are)--

My Pune friends and I have decided to start a blog devoted to all our favorite international recipes that we have begun to share among each other. There is a link to the right of this posting called "World Wide Cooking." Check it out when you are interested. There should be some new and interesting recipes for you to try!

Hugs and kisses from Pune,
Melissa and Paul

Saturday Night Fever

Last night we went to Hard Rock Cafe-Pune. It finally opened after much ado. We went as a big group and enjoyed our fruity cocktails, gigantic burgers, great music, and a lot of laughs! Here are some photos from the evening.

Me, Ann-Sofie, and Janneke with our enormous margarita and strawberry daiquiris.

The women decide to sit together to have some serious conversation at one end of the table for the evening. (Janneke, Mieke, Ann-Sofie and Me)

Here we all are by Madonna's sequined gown . . .

Can you say hamburger deluxe? Janneke was the winner since she finished the hamburger! The rest of us were too stuffed!

We finished eating and the Y.M.C.A. came on the loudspeaker. We all rushed up to dance with the waiters on the stage.
We danced the night away with some great music.
