Hai re High - how eat was

more sake than satay.
impressive was how dutifully every single person walked in with clinking bottles. rasam, bengali icecream rolls, american fruit salad, chinese pork, chaat, pongal lined our tummies.
what's getting to be like a ritual at sss is the after party at which ..yeah we eat n drink and stay merry.
hello to new sssuperwoman 'cat en organistaion' divya iyer who manages facebook for sss ;)

till next time, lage raho!

Hai re High

"Look Ma,

No Hands!"

We've been washing, peeling, chopping, frying, kneading, whipping etc. so long and are tirrrred. So let's just not.

Taking a minimalistic, hands free approach this time around, we enjoy max flavours from Foods that take 15 mins or less prep time. Be it time spent in the kitchen or in plucking some yummy organic greens or shopping straight off the counter.
Basically spend no more than 15 mins hands-on time. Ye who yearn for cooked complex carbs and protein rich diets, Dee and Stan will whip us some pasta(veg) and BBQ(all meat) respectively.

Bring your own liquids. We're going to be on the rooftop! We'll try limit our invasion of the gracious hostess's home to the restroom only(and maybe not even there if you do forget to bring water)

date, time, venue: 13th april 08. noontime 12 to 5 p.m. evening. we head to dee's terrace. all i can give out now is that it's near a tobacco mine and has a bar enroute.

BBQ on the terrace by the woods

a short tale of how 'BBQ on the terrace by the woods... ' would come to be.

Bobby Q, booby Q or BBQ

Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
We'll BBQ in all the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not

' to grill or not to grill was the point of debate...and how. many drunken brawls resulted in many lost teeth. 'twas months after grave and lengthy discussions over beer and cake that sss foodies moved from plan to action.
sirs stanislaus and shinto solicited the services of a professional chef. they struck a deal with the anonymous chef who's identity will be revealed on sunday. as per plan the chef would PERFORM LIVE at the venue. yesssss he agreed to come personally along with the booby-Q-ing paraphernalia and would cook on the spot. besides his usual fee structure his only demand was that he bring the meat! sirs stanislaus and shinto were wont to refuse his plaintive plea. they rushed back to the sss-band with their shiny news of joy and sunshine.
"yipeee!" went the sss-troupe!

but sssuperwomen were in a conundrum..... how could the bobby-Q qualify as a potluck event if the chef brought everything. and we ...we'd bring...what? after seconds of dilemma-baazi,
lady foodeez piped up...'i will bring the whatchamacallit sauce!" followed by foopri's, "i will bring the mashed alu!" and, i.pp.foo hollered, "i will marinade the veggies like veggies have never been marinated before!" There was even a feeble, "i will read your future in true tarot style. and perhaps even foretell what the next sss plan will be. teehee!" by dee iyer of moshi-toshi-catoo fame. the cries of all foodies built up into a crescendo.
the chorus of our devious plan unfolds below'

1 envelope (2-1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin

1 cup boiling water

2 packages (8 ounces/225 gm each) cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup sucralose-based sugar substitute

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup thawed frozen whipped topping

3/4 cup unsweetened frozen blueberries

Preparation:

1.For crust, place zwieback toasts and butter in food processor. Cover; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Pat thin layer of crumbs onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.

2.For filling, place gelatin in medium bowl. Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.
