New Patio Set :)

We bought ourself a new patio set! Poor Abhay worked for 2.5 hours assembling it today. (I'm so thankful I married a engineer!) But it was all worth it in the end. It looks so cute on our patio. I can't wait for the weather to warm up a few more degrees so we can enjoy it.

Indian food Sunday


I played sous chef to chef Abhay today. We made Chicken Tikka Masala and oven baked Naan. We tried something a little different with the chicken this time. Normally we'd bake the marinated chicken cubes in the oven and then add them to the "gravy" and simmer it on the stove top for a couple of hours. Today we grilled the marinated chicken cubes on the outdoor BBQ and added it to the "gravy" in a Crock Pot and put it on low for 5 hours. It got super tender and yummy! :)


DC!

A and I took a little spring break trip to Washington DC this past week. We were there for 4 days, and 5 nights...and loved every minute of it. The weather was perfect, and it really wasn't all that busy.

Here's the low down of what we did and saw:
Georgetown Cupcake (a show that is aired on the TLC network is filmed at the cupcake shop. They had the YUMMIEST cupcakes. They were worth the 1.5 hour wait), Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, White House, US Capital, WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Smithsonian National Museum of American Indian, Smithsonian National Museum of Air and Space, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Wheeewh, I got tried just typing all the stuff.

We walked a ton, rode the bus, and had lots of fun on the subway. While we were in DC we also go to have dinner with our friends Rachael and Josh, and spend a couple afternoons with our friend Aadil.
