Foodlover's Blogs

Here is a fun video on how to make sketching style. The cake came out amazingly well.

Sabina Sehgal Saikia India's top food critic was in a corner room at the sixth floor of Taj Hotel. She text messaged her husband couple of time and the last message from her was - "they are in my bathroom". Thereafter no communication from her. Later on the same room was blasted by terrorist and was set on fire. Interestingly when commandos went there was no body found. So she is missing Her husband is taking round of TV station pleaing for information.

Times of India editor  Sabina was at Taj, still missing

 

 I found it too unresistable to not post. Any guy out there who has dated 100+ women?Ann On the cusp of her 35th birthday, Ann Marsh decided it was time to change the way she thought about dating. If she was going to meet the right man, she was going to cast aside the dream of a Hollywood romance, and really get to know the men she dated. Ann started by posting an ad on an online dating service. "I got a lot of responses right off the bat," she said. "Some were ludicrous, but Week One still found me on dates with 14 men at local coffee shops." At first, the flurry of dating was overwhelming, but eventually Ann hit a groove. "No matter how the date went, I reminded myself I was taking a stand for what I wanted," she said. Taking that stand helped Ann realize when dates just weren't working out. "If [a man] clearly wasn't interested, then he was simply another woman's catch. I got out of her way. I knew I'd meet someone else tomorrow," she explained.

Disclaimer: I received this in a funny mail. Men winning % numbers might be inflated. Numbers not supported by personal experience at all. Lucky are those who manage to have 50% win in early stages.

Disclaimer: I received this is a funny forwarded mail. These are not my numbers. So if you believe that 3hrs 26min is kinda low, you may be right.

These are top10 funny commnts released by tripadvisor travel community.

1. Not So Great Expectations"I could have done without the blood-stained mattress and the (actual)chunk of poop on my bedspread, but I didn't expect the Hilton."

2. Rest in Peace"I spent the night in the (hotel) room and experienced a friendly spirit.This presence got into bed with me, an old lady, she was nice and I justpatted her on the head and we had a comfortable restful sleep. I think Iwill ask for a different room next time."

3. Mime Over Matter"The neighborhood is filled with aggressive mimes, including one sittingon a toilet bowl (how creative). Room cards are changed for no reason andyou cannot understand why you can't get into your room. All in all it wasa very unpleasant stay."

4. Deep Thoughts"Time could be spent pondering over the meaning of some of the many safetysigns around the complex. Out of the several we managed to identify, thetwo we found to be of greatest use were 1. Not to step on any crocodileswhilst bare foot, and 2. No ugly, or spotty children to frequent thepool."

Her is a list of some great new properties slated to launch in 2008Facade of the Kempinski Dukes Palace, Bruges, Belgium

Europe   

 

Kempinski Dukes Palace, Bruges, Belgium Opening in a former 15th-century palace in February, this new five-star hotel will have 95 beautifully designed rooms and suites. It has retained many of the building's original features and fittings, including paintings and a grand ballroom (0032 50 447882; www.kempinski-bruges.com).

Four Seasons Hotel, Florence, Italy Set to open in spring 2008, the new Four Seasons is in the restored and renovated historic Palazzo Della Gheraradesca and a former convent. It will offer spectacular frescos, sculptures and artisan works with the earliest wing dating back to the late 1440s.

Living far too long in the US where coffee is free and water is like $5-10 a bottle in any hotel, I was in for a surprise in India. Yes they charge you money - real cash like $5-20 for a cup of coffee. Just like most US hotel bottles have sign in that $10 will be "conveniently' charged to you room, the top Indian hotels are marking their coffee with “you will be charged for this coffee” message. Next time in India, keep your wallet ready or switch back from coffee to water. It won't be a bad thing to do after all.
