  1. I add to to omlettes along with diced red onions, green chilies and a touch of pepper. It is also good, crushed, in marinades for chicken. Enjoy!
  2. I have never had the lamb hot pot so I cannot comment on that but I agree with Tom on the marrow. It is so delicious. I am mad because I had to share it I also really enjoyed the apple pie - just perfect.
  3. I would eat here weekly if I had time. We took some family and friends there a few weeks ago for their weekend buffet. The food was good and great value for the money too. My favorite dishes are the rogan josh and the pista korma. They also make really good breads. (I am getting hungry just typing this )
  4. Thanks folks. This helps a lot.
  5. I am working on an article about sake. Would you mind sharing where you get your sake? Are there any sake only stores in Washignton DC/MD/VA? Would love some suggestions on this. Thanks in advance folks.
  6. Honestly I want a blender that I cannot kill. I go thru blenders like people go thru shirts. On an average I kill one every three months. I am too cheap to by the expensive ones so I buy the $19 ones and they cannot take all the lentils I try to blend. I know, I know.. I am pathetic! Also -- I would LOVE (if I had a larger kitchen) to get a larger food processor and one of those nice big ranges with five burners and a grill. I could go on and on! Santa are you listening?
  7. Is this the first time or are there other places with a zero rating? Yes, this should be interesting for sure!
  8. I am so sorry I missed this event tonite. Anyone have the scoop yet?
  9. You would not delete this ROcks? Would you? It is about party planning and food and kids.. come on! I really appreciate all the feedback. I have given my kiddo a few options and will post his decision soon! THANKS so much for the great and fun options. (Wait till he now says he wants to go bowling. it would be so typical)
  10. Laura - You read my mind. That is what I have been thinking of all afternoon. I am not sure even with parents, we can handle so many kids. I like the idea of a local park and doing something like what you suggest. That is all he really wants -- his friends and some fun with water on a hot day!!
  11. I am not that brave!! If it was a pool party, I was going to have a parent per child. But I dont think I am ready for a pool party yet! So I was thinking of other water related fun.
  12. A couple of parents have (been) volunteered to help me.
  13. I saw the WaterMine and it looks great but is it good for a birthday party -- I mean will I be able to herd 25 kids and keep them from going all over the place.. Can you tell I have control issues LOL
  14. Folks -- I am looking for a recommendation for a place to host my seven year old's bday party. He wants a "water related" birthday! I am not sure I can handle a large group of young boys at a pool so I am looking for other suggestions in the Tysons, Vienna, Falls Church, Mclean area. Would love some thoughts. I cant seem to find anything good via google. Thanks a bunch!
  15. My family and I enjoyed a lovely meal at Rustico on tuesday night. The pizza was fantastic -- I rarely like pizza and their's was wonderful (specially the crust). Hubby had the delightul sweet and spicy salmon. I have to say the portions were really big so we had great leftovers the next day. I love the idea of beer flights!
  16. Farid - So nice to see you here. Next time you are in DC, lunch is on me!
  17. Folks - I posted some pics on my site .. www.monicabhide.com. I hope people will post pics here and tell me how to do it so I can do the same!
  18. Chef - the fish in banana leaf.. is that going to be on the menu anytime?
  19. Good morning! I wanted to thank everyone who came in last night to the dinner at Passage to India. Chef Sudhir and his team did a great job and there was so much wonderful food. I will post pictures here shortly Thanks Monica
  20. Thanks Crackers. I also did a class on regional Indian cooking for eGullet that provides some good information. We are planning to have a brief hand out for folks as well on the food.
