Dinner with the Famous Five

I love food!!!

I love spicy food 😀😀😀

And I love being invited out for spicy food!!!

Jon, Pauline and I had the most wonderful time with our 'Famous Five' friends on Wednesday evening.

Our evening began with a welcome drink of Badam Milk, a traditional Indian drink made with almonds, cardamoms, saffron, whole milk and sugar. Super yummy!

Starters was Medu Vada (daal fritters) with mint chutney, along with Chicken 65, a popular South Indian Chicken appetizer made by deep frying marinated chicken with curry leaves and green chilies. Oh my word, soooo tasty!!!

I didn't get a photo of the chicken, as I was too busy eating and making satisfied 'Mmmmmm' sounds 😀 By now, we were all getting very full, but there was more to come!

Main course was yet another delight for the taste buds ... Dosa (a thin savoury crepe), mini idli (rice cakes) accompanied by Mutton Karikozhambu. I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven 😃

After the three of us being served so beautifully, it was good to sit together over dessert. The students had made us Paal Payasam, a sweet milk drink with vermicelli. I had made raspberry, white chocolate cheesecake and a chocolate orange bomb.

NOW we were truly so full and it would soon be time to waddle back home.

Jon, Pauline and I would like to say a

HUGE THANKYOU

to Abi, Harinee, Desh, Gulakshitha & Jacob

for a truly fabulous evening 😃

TABLEtalk - Teamwork

The theme of Teamwork is always a good one with students. They are often required to do group projects, and I would like a £1 for every student that has come to me with their 'group dynamic' frustrations 😀 Would go nicely in my retirement fund 😂😂😂

In addition to discussing the characteristics and qualities of a healthy team, we had a physical tower building exercise.

I really didn't know if this tower would
stand alone, but stand alone it did.
Harsh Hrithik, Vaishnavi and Laiba
were our runners up, with a tower
that was 106cms tall.
