It was our monthly 'Tea party' and it was my turn to host it. I get all excited about cooking and baking for parties...though sometimes I go overboard and exhaust myself out.But after all.... it is worth it...to get together with friends chit-chat,laugh, share stories....it washes all the tiredness out of me!
So for the tea party I planned a menu of ---This Eggless Mango cake with simple glaze, Dabeli (http://my-kitchens-aroma.blogspot.com/2009/11/chatpata-chaat-kutchi-dabeli.html), Bruschetta (recipe coming soon to the blog) , toast topped with sweet Ricotta cheese mixture and pineapples and then chip,cookies etc to munch.
