Current mood: stomach...hurts
I need to think before I make some of those wacky dishes. I thought I had the best idea ever to combine cream-of-wheat and rice pudding... boy was I wrong. Now I am a bit sick but I'll be fine.
Here are more pics:
Something I actually did right!
Fried okra with peas, it is really good.
And then I made...
Brownies!
And for my next trick..
Pri's special chinatalian indo-rice with veggie chik'n strips!
And of course the infamous
Disaster Pudding
More later.. when I'm not on a sugar low

And here... we ... GO!
Current mood: excited
So, Dark Knight was AWESOME! Don't really need to say more about that I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing how awesome it is from everyone. I decided to rent Batman Begins on Thursday so I could see it again before I watch Dark Knight. I had to drive to some little town called Rosenberg (about 10 minutes south) to a Hollywood Video that had copies. But when I got home and put it in my computer it wouldn't even work! It didn't even recognize that there was a disk in there. When I went back to exchange it the next day the guy used a disc cleaner and then put it in the PS2 to try it. It worked then but its unclear if it was the cleaner or the PS2. He was kinda rude, heres a sample of the exchange:
Dude: It didn't even do that? (referring to the FBI warning showing up on the screen)
Me: No, the computer didn't even recognize there was a disc, it just spit it out
Dude: Did you try it in a dvd player?
Me: I don't have one, I just moved
Dude: You didn't have a dvd player where you moved from?
I should have had a witty comeback to set things straight.. but of course I didn't.. I just said something lame about using the 360 usually. Anyway, I got the new copy and so I watched it tonight while enjoying the pasta I made :) Speaking of which, heres an album:

E3 was Wiik
Current mood: hungry
It took a while but I am finally posting pictures of my Ginger Paneer experiment :P I finally made it on Sunday and it was quite good! It just needs a little gravy to make it just right. Its way too dry to be served with rice as suggested, at least for me.
Anyway here it is:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=47767&l=f37ed&id=646355347
Now its time to finish the Pau Bhaji leftovers. Tomorrow I'll "take care" of the rest of the paneer :D by making a ginger paneer wrap!
Ok, see ya next time!

More updatez
Current mood: tired
I can't remember the last time I updated my blog this often :P Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know I finally got around to redesigning my main website. Its not done yet and I will still be working on it tomorrow but take a look when you get a chance.
Its at Priyesh.org
I also made a new logo, you can see it on the right side of this blog. Its just "Pri" in hindi! :D Leave any suggestions for the site in the comments.. I plan to integrate this blog into the main site eventually too.
I saw Hellboy II today, it was pretty awesome. Theres too many awesome movies this year. And the best is yet to come! Next week we get The Dark Knight!
Once I left the theater I went to Walmart to pick up supplies for my next cooking experiment :P and then ate some lunch at Quiznos. They have an awesome Brocolli & Cheese soup!
My cooking today was Pau Bhaji, pics here:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=47070&l=e3d87&id=646355347
It went pretty well but it was a bit dull in taste. I probably needed to add more spices. Oh well, I'll fix it next time I eat it. Tomorrow's experiment will be a recipe sent in by my friend Rachael.. Ginger Paneer! :D
If you have recipes you want to share, please do! I love to try new things.. if its a chicken recipe.. thats ok because I can probably substitute paneer.
Bye bye for now, I'll post the results of tomorrows experiment later :P

"Pri-3"
Current mood: relaxed
E3 is just around the corner (Electronic Entertainment Expo) and even though its been reduced in size by almost a factor of 10, it still holds some excitement for gamers. The big 3 console manufacturers, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, will each hold an hour long press conference with big announcements for the upcoming year. Just giving some background as to why I'm so excited! Microsoft kicks things off on Monday afternoon and then Nintendo and Sony take the stage on Tuesday. I'll be (hopefully) watching the Microsoft and Nintendo conferences live during my strategically taken lunch hour :)
Besides that, I will be laying low and relaxing this weekend mostly. I plan to go watch Hellboy II tomorrow morning (11:30am show) so I can get cheapo tickets :D
I posted more pictures today, here they be:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=46860&l=d89d7&id=646355347
My (successful!) attempt at making Kheer! It turned out great!
And of course, heres the T-shirt I was talking about last night:
Thats it for now, time to relax and work on a new look for my website.
See ya,

Video Games Live... WOW
Current mood: exhausted but satisfied :)
So tonight, I went to see Video Games Live at the Houston Symphony Jones Hall. It was even more incredible than I had imagined. They put on a fabulous show right from the start! It kicked off with a Metal Gear Solid segment and then each one was better than the last. They did the segment where the orchestra plays the music as someone actually plays a game on stage, but there was an awesome twist this time! The person was playing Space Invaders but instead of a joystick his movement was controlled by motion sensors that detected where he was on-stage! He lost pretty badly but that was mainly because he has no idea how to play Space Invaders :P Then in the second half there was a Guitar Hero: Aerosmith segment where someone was playing Guitar Hero while the orchestra played along and Tommy Talarico himself played actual guitar along with the song :P
And then afterwards.. they were selling T-shirts! So of course I had to get one :) I bought a cool Legend of Zelda T-shirt! I don't feel like taking a picture but I will eventually.
Anyway, since I didn't get home until almost 11 I decided to stop by Walmart to pick up dinner :) And I saw... PIZZA! My favorite: spinach pizza with white sauce!
And Snickers Icecream :D
I'll make some "real" food this weekend :P
Anyway, bye bye for now

Current mood: great
So the 4th of July weekend went really well. Unfortunately its almost over and tomorrow begins another work week. Thought I'd bring you yet another dosage of PriPri madness with some Facebook albums to enjoy :P
I get internetz
Lazy-man's butter paneer recipe
Time to try some Corn Pudding!
My trip to Houston for a day
Today's plan is to go get tickets to my first live Bollywood concert! :D The "Unforgettable Tour" with Amitabh Bachchan, Abishek and Aishwarya Rai and many more! Its $85 for a ticket (YIKES) but I'll count it as one of my graduation presents. I've still got some of my gift money left over (Thanks!).
Ok, bye now

This was a triumph...
Current mood: great
The long weekend is going really well so far, yesterday I cooked some more Seero (cream-of-wheat pudding) which I burned.. but its ok it was still good. And finished off the pasta I had leftover. I also watched "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" again. I love that movie and I wish they would make the sequel :( but the chances are way low.
Having internet at the apartment is definitely a huge plus! I can now skype with people :D My skype ID is madgamer7 by the way. I was talking to my friend Patrick and he recommended a recipe for Tee's Corn Pudding which I made and loved it! It just needs a bit spice to make it just right. I can make it better next time. I watched "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" again as I ate the pudding. That movie always brings tears to my eyes.. both of uncontrollable laughter and sadness. Which is quite a feat!
I also watched "Hancock" on Thursday night. That was a pretty good movie, not amazing like Iron Man or Hulk but I liked it overall. I did some research and realized this was never a comic book! But I bet there will be comics based on it and a sequel will surely appear. Word of warning, DO NOT read the Wikipedia entry on it until after you see it. They totally spoil everything in the movie in the synopsis. Just go watch it, its better not to read too much about it beforehand.
Anyway, today I'm off to my uncle Vasu's place in Houston. Should be fun, I think I met him before but I don't remember.
More pictures are definitely coming, including the steps to make Corn Pudding :D
