Not Astrology, It's Gastronomy!

MY First Ever WINNER POST at IndiBlogger!!! :D

All others in the past were Runners - Up.

This is for Round 1 for my Beautiful Food!

I'm over the Moon and Back! :)

It Was One Of Those Days...

Of Congratulations And Celebrations...

~~~

When The Entire Family Had Gathered...

For A Dinner Hosted By Hubby & Me...

On The Occasion Of Our 20th Anniversary...

~~~

And, Planning Such Dinners Is Always So Much Fun...

Especially When You Have Family Members Belonging To Each Of The Sun-Signs Of The Zodiac, To Keep You On The Run!

Those Dishes On A Platter...

With An Aesthetic Companion, As Borosil, To Flatter!

~~~

Yes, You Heard It Right!

11 Family Members Belonging To The 12 Signs Of The Zodiac?

Yes, You Heard It Right... :D

One Of Them, Ought To Be A Cusp, You Know... ;)

And, That Day, Indian And Italian Food Ruled The Hearts...

Or The Stomachs, Maybe? ;)

A True Amalgamation Of Two Diverse Cuisines...

So, Here We Begin...

With Our Astrologically Gastronomic Delights!
