CRACKERS & STRAWS - Global Kadai Event

This must be one of my craziest months ever, and I am so late in hosting this beautiful event called the 'Global Kadai' by Cilantro. According to her, 'It is a food blogging event, showcasing Global Flavour in an Indian version'.

Being the host and looking for something different, I thought of choosing 'Crackers & Straws' as the theme for this month. I simply love them! We all know what Crackers are, those squarish or roundish crunchy munching material that we have along with Chai. And of course, we all know Straws...those curly or rectangular savory snack that we usually have , stacked carefully in our 'biscuit' tins.So, basically make a cracker or a straw and give a nice Indian twist to it!

If you still didn't get it, though I am sure you did, you can have a look at this Cracker & Straw for ideas.

Now it is your turn to come up with some real cool ideas!When you post them, do not forget to include a link to this post.When you are ready, send in your entries to airmathew AT gmail DOT com  with these details:

An event - Let's celebrate!!

Dear Friends,

This the first event I'm hosting and it's all about 'Celebration'.

About the event:

I chose this as the theme since I am a Gemini and will be celebrating my birthday soon! :D So let's all celebrate together!!

There are no hard and fast rules, you just need to follow the theme and get your creative juices flowing :)

On 21 June ,another blogger who is celebrating their birthday in June will be selected randomly from the entries and he/she can continue hosting this event as a part of their birthday celebration [only if they wish to host though...no compulsion] .So make sure you send me your zodiac sign along with your lovely entries.

Cakes: Since "celebration" is the theme, let it be a decorated cake...but then again plain cakes are whole heartedly welcome!! Let it be colourful & vibrant just like Gemini's are :D And oh yeah! I love Tiered cakes !! :)

Cookies:You can make cut out cookies, pressed cookies, dropped cookies,pizza cookies... anything at all!! Let it be colourful!! Make sure you dress them up for the occassion :)

Cocktails: Ahh.. Do I need to explainmore?? But if you prefer mocktails to cocktails ...you can definately send them in too!! Make it colourful and let it bust the heat around us!! :)
