I had a talk with my parents in karachi. I thought they were all coming together but saadaan is coming today. I am excited for the stuff he's bringing. Haha, i am such a kid. Waisay bhi, i was running out of new shalwar kameez.

My parents are coming over on sunday after their hajj, pakistan and india trip. All of a sudden, i feel like making garlands for them to take to airport. Where will i find that white flower...motia i think...to make a garland. Rose bulbs are easier to find.

I am thinking that i should make some chops for them. Pasanday, i have already made. I have tried all sorts of pulao, pilaf, biryanis from many countries. I want to make something for meat lovers in rice, but no sure what to make...something different. I need to dig more cooking books, perhaps. Maybe, i should make mini eclairs.

	congrats to your parents...m'A.... I've always thought that motia never exists in North America...i mean not the same fragrant type we find back home...I might be wrong though....oh,I love motia...

	chipy, actually it does exist. My ammi got a plant through some aunty. She got it from some nursery and was for $15. It was supposed to be a year round plant but died few months ago. While it was alive...we used to get a bowl full of flowers almost everyday. Maybe, we'll get one again next year in summer. I think i'll drop the idea of garland because due to winter nothing is available.
