Chocolate^3 Cupcake
Seafood PaellaIt was a nice slow memorial day weekend this year. On Saturday we went to Somik's place . He was grilling. They grilled Mahi Mahi (with a tequila lime marinade), steak and corn. The corn was burnt, but still incredibly sweet! The mahi mahi was absolutelyyyyy delicious. We ate the meats in tacos. There was another family there too with two kids, 5 1/2 and 20 months (Maya and Nadia respectively). After lunch and hanging out, the other family left. We played with Aryaman a bit and then I was cradling Reyansh as he eventually fell off to sleep. We then headed to downtown Bethesda to go to Georgetown Cupcakes for cupcakes. I had the chocolate^3 cupcake which was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate chips. With no icing, just the ganache, it was perfect. The cake was incredible moist and left me longing more. A LOT more! After buying sea food (shrimp, clams, squid and grouper) we headed hope and the boys made paella. I was beat (the week finally caught up to me, it seems), so I resigned to reading/watching tv. The paella turned out well, except for the shrimp (that was overcooked a tad), and we enjoyed it with mimosa (orange juice and champage) while watching Aa Dekhen Zaraa.
On Sunday, we went to Indique Heights in Friendship Heights for an early dinner. The food there was delicious. We drank lychee juice with sparkling wine, had chicken uttapam and syrian lamb fry as appetizers and finally Malabar shrimp curry with rice. Everything was excellent. I really liked the menu here. There were a lot of unconventional menu items. I would definitely want to go back and try more stuff out. The prices were comparable to Heritage, but a more versatile menu makes this place more appealing. After dinner we went to the AMC in Friendship Heights for Iron man II. The movie was good - funny, action packed, entertaining. The one thing I would like to say is that Robert Downey Jr had a lottttt of expressions that reminded me of Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. I definitely recommend this movie. After Iron Man II we stepped into the theatre showing Macgruber. Since we didn't pay for the movie, it was fine. There are much better spoofs out there.
Monday was a day of household chores in preparation for the week. siiiigh! Back to reality
