Oklahoma Sushi

There is a hot spot sushi restaurant in OKC called Sushi Neko. I went there last week and ordered a house salad with Japanese dressing(as you know I love this stuff.) I simply LOVE their salad and included in it is cucumbers, baby tomatoes, and carrots. Just looking at it makes me fall in love with it over and over again.

After salad, I ordered a Zebra roll that had eel and cream cheese on it.
Then I ordered the famous Red Canyon. It has crawfish and Japaanese Mayo on it. The rolls are baked and they top it with the delicious orange-red sauce and just eating it makes me feel like I'm in heaven.
If you're a sushi addict and you're in OKC please go to Sushi Neko...their sushi is one of the best in the City of Oklahoma.

Coooking Dinner!

A couple of days ago I cooked dinner for my lovely friend Kat. I call her Kitty Kat Kitten, anyhow I decided to create a simple salad, shrimp scampi with pasta and for desert cinnamon rolls.

Since it was my first time to cook for a dear friend I even created a menu which created a good laugh for Kat. For the menu I simple used one authentic name which was Shrimp Scampi with Pasta. For the salad I called it "The Brownie Salad" and for the desert I called it "Kitty's Cinnabon Swirls." Kat loved it, just seeing the smile on her face made it all worth it to me!
It was nice to sit back and cook dinner for my friend. We laughed till all hours of the night and enjoyed each others company.
My camera wasn't working properly so the pictures didn't turn out that great. I was dissapointed in myself but I can clearly do it again another time. I also forgot to take pictures of the cinnamon buns! UGH! Stupid Brownie! Please forgive me this time. I hope to cook again with various friends. I figure, why not? This is pretty neat.

Classic Indian Tea

As a child, I remember leaving good ol Oklahoma and moving to India not knowing what this country consisted of. One of my fondest memory of growing up in India is when my brothers and I would be in our front yard playing cricket while my mother looked on drinking her tea. Indians are just like the British...they must have their tea every day around 4 or 5 PM. It's a way of life.

What I love about this classic tea is that it's so simple and time less. It's like a little black dress that never goes out of style. All you need is Taj Mahal Tea, Water, and milk to make this classic tea and its fabulous. Every time I drink this certain type of tea it brings back memories of growing up southern India; where as a little kid I would look up to the sky and instead of seeing the blue skys I would see the green coconut tree leaves move according to where the wind blew. Ahhh, those were the days of pure Simplicity.

Cookies for kids!

This morning, I headed over to church and to my surprise after church the Ladies working with the little kids had a bunch of cookies and were handing it out to the adults. I quickly grabbed 2 cookie goody bags, one for myself and one for my little cousin Luke. I quickly fell in love with how simply and yet how elegant the goody bag looked. In the clear goody bag was 2 chocolate chip cookies and 4 mini tootsie rolls all wrapped in Green and Pink strings. Oh my! How creative and yet SO simple!

Majority of the time my mind is racing like a 4 year old child having a sugar high so I never have time to sit back and think about the small elegant things that can come out fabulous. After viewing the goody bag I felt happy and joyful. Ahhh cookies, who doesn't love cookies in a goody bag? I know, I do :)

Oh I'm so Healthy!

A late night supper. Yup, it's what I choose to eat when all the restaurants are closed and the only thing available are fast-food joints. Yes, this is a heart attack waiting to happen but what American hasn't ate a burger? I love burgers, they're my all time favorite foods and I will chew one down like a fat kid in a cupcake store. If there's one thing I love to order at Mcdonalds its the big mac, fries and a medium Sprite. While I was chewing this down I wasn't counting the calories but instead I was simply enjoying the Mcdonald's classic burger. Oh how Yummo!

New Love: Ion Silk Drops

Right before this summer started I walked into Sallys Beauty store because I wanted my hair to be shiny and healthy. I looked around the store and ended up getting some lame-hair frizz then a Cougar working there saw what I had in my hand and told me to use Ion Silk Drops because that is the best the store has. She told me she has used everything and this is the only product that never let her down. I wanted to believe her but I thought to myself "What the heck? It's under 10 bucks so why not?" Well, I did buy it and
I LOVE this stuff. I use a dime size right after I take a shower and it leaves my hair shiny, healthy, and very textured. This product has been added to my Loves. I love, LOVE it.

My Favorite Salad.

One of my favorite spots to eat great food and drink fine wine is a placed here in OKC called The Lobby Bar. This restaurant/bar has a great setting(even has a patio!) deserts, cheese and amazing Salads! What's also wonderful about the Lobby bar is that it use to be Will's Theatre and they have a seperate room from the bar/resturant where people will have wedding receptions, parties, galas and anything you want it to be.

They have limited edition foods, well that's what I call it. I believe in resturant terms it is called "A special." Whatever "Special" they have going on you must try it because it is fabulous. You will fall in love with it then it will get taken off the market because of some unknown reasons to me. I don't wanna know, I usually get upset when they do take out their specials out of the menus and internally I weep and cry.

I love their house salad with the Japanese salad dressing, something about the leaves they choose and the dressing mix together like a fancy businessman drinking his Lager Bier.

If you are ever in OKC, please make a pit stop at the Lobby bar on Western Ave. You will not be dissapointed.
