XMAS 2007


Outside Yazdani, a Mumbai bakery. A delicacy for every occasion.
'Apple Pie a day will keep you Happy all Day',
but it takes a 'Rum Plum Cake' to make Christmas a merry Day.

  4. plum pies always make me think of the nursery rhyme: "little jack horner sat in a corner,
    eating a Christmas pie...
    he put in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said "What a good boy am I" :)

    and apple pies are not something i would expect to see advertised on a sidewalk in india....interesting! i wonder if they could compare to my mama's... :)

  5. Seamus: :)

    Bakpakker: Thank you.

    Vineeta: Absolutely. :)

    Bluemountainmama: And the plum on realising Jack Horner would now eat it up, said, 'and what a sad plum am I' :)

    Actually you're right, Apple Pies are not something usually advertised on a sidewalk in India, this Parsi bakery is an exception.

  12. Andrea: It was except for an overdose of Rum, which might've been in the Christmas spirit.

    Daniel Santos: Cakes have become synonymous with Christmas, and for good reason too.

    Cuckoo: Purposely I would say, though we landed there around then, late afternoon.

    Quintarantino: Why not, I wouldn't be able to put off either one of them for later, would rather finish off the plate in one sitting :)

    Lazy Cow: Maybe it is. If you were to visit Mumbai on an India trip around Christmas time, Yazdani would be happy with you sampling their tasty offerings.

    Sonia: Thank you. Wish you a Merry Christmas as well.

    Kenju: You're welcome to them both, many times over :)

  17. Rambling Around: Hmmm.

    Clueless in Boston: Maybe 'stretch skin' considering smiles will stretch it :)

    Shantanu: Thanks, wishing you and your loved ones a happy new year too :)

    Bhumika: Very true, and thank you. Wishing you a merry new year ahead :)
