LAMB CHOPS
We both love lamb chops. It's not always that I would make lamb chops because red meat is not recommended for health reasons, especially if you are trying to eat healthy. But once in a while, we totally devour lamb chops. I picked up fresh lamb chops from Geant and applied my very own marinade, left it overnight in the fridge and next day, roasted it in the oven. Came out heavenly!.
Marinade for 1/4 to 1/2 kg lamp chops (adjust the spice powders according to your requirement)
red paprika or kashmiri chilli powder 1 to 1 1/2 tsp
turmeric - 1/2 tsp
all spice powder (mix of clove, cinamon, cardamon) - 1 tsp
coriander powder - 1/2 to 1 tsp
vinegar or lemon - 4 tsp
yoghurt (non sour) - 1 tablespoon
pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
salt (how you like it)
Mix the marinade well, apply on lamb chops and kept it refrigerated for 12 to 24 hours, next day, roast it at 190 degrees in the oven, for 45 minutes or however long it might take to cook. Enjoy!
MY PHOTO FOR THE DAY - BE LIKE A SWAN
I took this photo while I was at Stardford-Upon-Avon, one the places I literally fell in love with and made a beautiful connection with, thanks to a my childhood friend and classmate. It was she who encouraged me to visit this beautiful place, came along with us, and we had a great time.
The swan moves about with beauty, elegance and grace in water. They have inspired musicians, poets, writers and artists. The swan moves about in water, but never does it's feathers absorb the water. All the water just flows off it's body. Be like a swan, as you travel your journey in life, enjoy the gift of life like the swan enjoys moving in water. Don't let yourself soak in the negativities or disspointments in life, let it glide off your mind, like the feathers of the swan. The attitude your carry, response to situations and choices you make along the way will help you manouver through the stormy or calm waters of life. Like a swan in water, live life elegantly and gracefully.
MINI iPAD - GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE WHO'VE BEEN WISHING FOR SMALLER iPAD
I've always wondered, why iPAD does not have a smaller and lighter version which would be more convenient, to carry around, especially while travelling. Well, Apple fans, those of you who've wished for smaller iPADS, your wish will be fulfilled shortly. Apple is reported to be launching their mini i-PAD between October 10 and October 17. So, these two dates are something to look forward to. It's reported that Apple's Asian suppliers have been busy with mass production of the mini i-PAD. The mini iPAD is to be available in the shops from November 2. In the meantime, Amazon will launch its range of tablets in UK.
It's also been reported that tablet will have a 7.85-inch LCD display with a lower resolution that the present 9.7-inch iPad. As for detailed specifications there are tech magazines and sites that report various combinations of specs based on 'leaked information' . On the whole one would have to wait for the official announcement from Apple to know what the mini i-PAD has to offer. It might even called something different than 'mini' iPAD.
