Today, I hosted a belated Diwali celebration and invited Jen, Pri and Aina for an Indian meal and Australian wine.
We started with the delicious mini bacon cheese quiches that Jen brought—followed by sangria, cheese and olives.
I ordered North Indian food from 3 Brothers on Chapel. Onion Bhaji, Chili Mushroom, Cheese Naan, Kulcha, Murg Karahi Wala, Murgi Achari, Pepper Masala Chicken, Jeera and Peas Pulao Rice.
Fafa joined us for the late lunch before retrieving back to the bedroom.
The conversations were dominated by the happenings and gossip in the company. House hunting was next on the list as two of us are in the market. We also listened to Tinder date stories (two of them are currently single). Before finally landing, a girls’ trip to Bali once the international borders are open.
We also continued the feast with the most delicious lemon cake Jen baked for Aina’s belated birthday. And ended it all with chilled slices of watermelon.
It was a tremendous heart-and-tummy filling afternoon. And the apartment had been blessed with hours and hours of loud, happy laughter for the first time this year. So glad to celebrate Diwali together and have them in my life.
