Sugar Sweet Veshamam and Smarty Pants!

Last friday (7th Nov), i tried to bake cookies from the scratch. I got the recipe from Tarla dalal's book and followed it to a T. What a disaster it was!! :-O I had my doubts at the start because the cookie dough looked thin having the consistency of dosa batter.

I just thought the recipe is from the famous chef TD so it has to be right and made it. The cookies ran over and formed one big rectangle and i could not even take it out of the pan :-O Anyways, i got so frustrated and i just dumped the cookies and put the sugar and the other ingredients on the counter top and went to the living room without cleaning the mess up. Aj is very good at sensing mess even if it is not in his vicinity. He promptly went to the kitchen and dumped the whole box of sugar on the floor! :-O

I heard something and came to the kitchen and there he was playing with the sugar on the floor, drawing something on it. Before cleaning it, just for the heck of it i put some sugar in his mouth and he realized it was sweet and tried to gobble up as much as he can before i got the broom and pan. It was so funny. He was quite mad when i cleaned the whole mess and dumped it in the trash can.

Ashu got his Karate outfit last week and i still haven't taken a picture of him in it. Bad Mommy! Anyways, he is doing awesome in Karate class. He loves cub scouts also. He won a prize for answering a question in cub scouts. They asked what the state tree of Tennessee was and he was the only one who knew the answer. I think it is Tulip poplar, i need to verify with him. They gave him a book of Trees.

Now to an election joke. From the beginning, Ashu kept supporting Obama. If we ask why he would just say i dont know, but he is going to win! Josiyam paaka polaam ;-) Anyways, couple of days back when i was driving the kids back home and was waiting at lights, the car in front of us had two stickers. One said 'NObama' and the other said 'McCain Palin'. Ashu grunted unhappily looking at it and i asked him why. He said, they should remove those stickers and stick
new stickers that said 'GObama' and 'McCain Falin' as we all know Palin failed! I thought it was too funny and when i told B he could not stop laughing. Obama camp should have hired Ashu for some negative campaigning! :D

Aj now identifies few letters. When our maids came on wednesday, he went to the vaccuum cleaner that said Oreck XL21 and pointed to O and said O and then pointed to 21 and said 2, 1 :-) On Friday, Ms. Casey was wearing a pink shirt and he promptly pointed to it and said Back (black). Atleast he knows when people are wearing solids, those are colours :-) That's a good improvement!
