On Monday, I headed over to my middle school best friend’s house for a little Desi Dress-Up party. I’m attending her wedding in a couple weeks, and she graciously offered to let me where some of her super-cool Indian clothes to the wedding!
Just catching up from this past weekend? You can check out these other posts:
And a couple recipe-related posts from the weekend:
- Fourth of July Cupcakes (vanilla cupcake recipe, plus decoration idea)
- Four 4th of July Dessert Ideas {2011} (red, white, and blue-able desserts)
- Healthy Blueberry Pie Smoothie (better than dessert for breakfast!)
(Btw, you may remember my friend Marium from my trip to San Francisco and wine country in 2009 – click to view)
I tried on 5 or 6 different outfits – a couple skirt/top combos and one “suit.” They were all so pretty, but after showing each outfit to Marium’s family (mom, dad, sister, and aunt), we narrowed it down to 3 options. I can’t wait her wedding! I’ve never been to an Indian wedding before, so I’m really excited!
Marium and I grew up in this town, so we went to a childhood fave of ours while we were both in town – Coffee Underground! For me, this place is another one of my must-sees whenever I’m in town.
We both got omelet bowls and I subbed my toast for a cheddar chive biscuit. I think I could have eaten a platter of those biscuits…they were so good!
We set up in the “Red Room” to catch up over coffee and breakfast.
I wanted a pistachio latte, but they were out of the syrup! 🙁 So I got toffee nut instead. The foam was lovely.
Afterwards, I headed back to my parents house for lunch and then to hit the road. I made my family a summer mocktail with this watermelon and mint.
And once hubby and I got home, I tried yet another creation – a new dough ball flavor!! Any guesses what it is? I added patriotic themed frosting to the dough balls since it was still the Fourth. 🙂 But, I’m going to give you guys directions so you can do any color combo you want for any holiday or occasion. I think it will be a kid-friendly project, too!
How did you spend your Fourth of July (if you were celebrating the holiday or not – we all had a 7/4/11, right?) 😉
No idea about the dough balls but they do look lovely and american 🙂
Can’t wait to see the outfit you pick out for the wedding!
Here’s the recipe for the dough balls: https://thechiclife.com/2011/07/sugar-cookie-dough-balls-with-quick-drizzle-frosting.html Yum!
I was with my adorable nieces and family and I couldn’t have been happier. Actually, that’s not true, if I’d had those cookies I would’ve been! 😉
Oooooh- a pistachio latte sounds delicious!
Oh my goodness –are those LEMON doughballs? If so, my heart melts.
No, but that sounds amazing! I made Sugar Cookie Dough Balls! https://thechiclife.com/2011/07/sugar-cookie-dough-balls-with-quick-drizzle-frosting.html
WATERMELON!!! That’s how I spent my 4th of July. 🙂
No guesses at what the dough ball flavor is, but I look forward to finding out!
I spent my July 4th relaxing – worked out, shopped, then watched a Psych marathon via Netflix. It was just what I needed!
It’s Sugar Cookie…WITH frosting. mmm https://thechiclife.com/2011/07/sugar-cookie-dough-balls-with-quick-drizzle-frosting.html
