Well, its Tuesday and I am still surviving Grad School.
On Friday, I went to the mall in the afternoon and did some guilt-free shopping. We then watched 2 movies - taxi no 9-2-11 ( It was good) and Hawas ( crap). Will review in detail after exams. For dinner, K suggested a Mexican appetizer. She got the recipe from a Hispanic lady and we were very excited to try it. Take a plate of round nachos; top it with fresh salsa; add some guacamole if you have it; top that with melted cheese dip ( the one you get with nachos in Mexican restaurants - queso dip); then you top that with some shredded cheese. Now you microwave the whole thing till the shredded cheese just melts. Very fattening. Very tasty. Yum.
K, B and I dived into the nachos without any guilt. As we were watching a movie, we did not realise how much we had over-eaten. My stomach finally sent a distress signal and I could not eat any more. I reached the stage where the mere sight of food would make me puke. After a couple of hours we had the vanilla cake that I made with a secret ingredient to make it really soft.
Then on Saturday afternoon, we watched 15th Park Avenue - a brilliant movie. Very arty and abstract. I was very fascinated with the end. More details next time. Then after all the fun, it was back to slogging. The rest of the weekend was spent with books. Have a take home exam tomorrow and a in-class exam on Friday.
The Da Vinci google quest started yesterday. Yeah I am playing it ( how could I miss it ?). It seems far more interesting than my course work :-P

Eating Mexican always gets me close to the puke feeling. And ur recipe involves nachos, melted cheese dip, shredded cheese... Wow, what else did u expect.
Didnt know about the davinci code quest, dont know whats the symbol on langdon's eyes still :( Any pointers?
Normally, once we eat a lot, the next hour or so we just tent to hate the sight of food but after an extra hr, we again love it. If u wanna avoid buying too much junk food etc, the saying goes tht we must do our grocery shopping when we are full.. So much cheese wud only make it worse.. I happ to watch taxi no 9211 yday :).. time pass movie.. Nana Patekar as usual was very good.. hope u do well in ur exams
Nachos, huh?!?! u make me hungry now!!
Da vinci quest is interesting!! hav done the first 2!!
@ prabhu: when u get tat question, it says, "a visit to www.sodarktheconofman.com would help".... try that ;-)
Prabhu,
u can follow's kutti's suggestion...or even look up the book if u have it.
Clue: Its the symbol for male
Vivek,
Well we get a phase of eating junk food...and then the guilty feeling would prevent from further binging :-)
Kutti,
same here :-) the first two were simple...waiting eagerly for the rest...it says that the questions will increase in difficulty each day...
Hey, I tried the quest too :-D...and just like you, I did not read the instructions at first and then was blinking as to why nothing would happen after I completed the puzzle...hehehehe! Am now onto the third puzzle now which I will probably do tonight!
And as usual, good luck with all ur umpteen stuff! And boy, am I glad I am out of grad school :-P!
Yeah I finished the third...its so addictive...i wait nervously for 12 here so that i can see the next question hehehhe
Good luck Shilpa for ur exams and HWs ... :-)
As for Da Vinci, yeah I heard of that quest too ... Google is smart. I am choosing to be lazy on it though (what lazy, I havnt read the book!), so I'll just go watch the movie :-).
And thanks for the mexican recipe yaar :-), I love mexican food. Also, when u said secret ingredient in the cake, you dint mean it, right ;-)?
Archana,
