So Camberly homes are opening a new commumity in Ellicott City. The houses are luxury houses that unfortunately are assigned to some crappy schools.. I dont get it..
Anyway that wasnt the reason for this blog. There was a grand opening for the model home, which by the way was absolutely gorgeous. It had the best basement that I had seen. It was awesome!!
They had Warren Brown ( owner of Cake Love , Sugar rush - Food network) there doing cupcake making demo. It was so much fun, he was really nice and it was the closest that I have been to a Food Network celebrity!
It was fun:)
Seeing Warren inspires me to try to be a better cook.
I may still become the semi homemade desi diva:)

Cricket..Then and Now
So I grew up in London watching Cricket with my Dad. We spent many a days watching matches on telly and the occasional match at Oval.
Being from Pakistani heritage, we would always support Pakistan. I remember when they won the World Cup. It was a HUGE deal.
If Pakistan was out, I would support India, and then England. It was funny how easy it was for me to start supporting for the next team that had a chance to win. That was the good ole days, watching Cricket was bonding time for my family.
Now in 2007…
Pakistan loses to Ireland and then the devastating news that the coach has been murdered.

This news has overshadowed the tournament. There are many conspiracy theories, one of them being that some sort of gambling mafia was involved. It’s so sad.
Pakistani youth always found solace from watching cricket. What message does this send now?
No more warm fuzzies.

Changes
Wow, its been nearly 9 months since I published anything.
The biggest change for me is that I now have short hair! I took the plunge and basically said "Who cares if it goes horribly wrong, I dont have anyone to impress"!
Thankfully it looks good, very different. I needed a change. I have had the same hairstyle ( not including layers, color) , since I was 15!!
I started a cake decorating class. Not sure if I will stick with it. Its a lot of prep and it is messy!
I dont like the taste of buttercream, need to find out how to decorate with whip topping:)
I am trying to lose weight. Tried some weight loss medicine that was meant to reduce belly fat; I lost zilch!!
I am going to continue to exercise and maybe try this gum 'Nutra-trim'. My co worker lost 2lbs in the last 2 weeks.
