Now, Deepa is coming to CA, all the way from NJ, to spend a week with us 🙂 Her husband is Arvind’s friend and so, you guys can imagine that how excited we all are about the reunion! We girls have everything planned out. What to eat? Where to visit? Which disc to go? What parties to attend!! Everything planned out 😀
Tomorrow, we are going to Yosemite. 3 couples, 1 car, 4 hrs drive .. YAY!! But at the same time, I know I will freeze like crazy. I don’t like snow or enjoy cold weather much. I guess that I am too pampered with California weather. I like sunny days 🙂 Anyways, I thought that how about baking a cake which we can enjoy on the way? And since Deepa is the guest, I thought of asking her what kind of cake she wants, hoping she will give me some interesting idea. Guess what, she said.. Lemon Mint cake (in a jumpy laugh-y excited voice) 😀 So, Lemon Mint Cake it is. Except this time, I gave it a small twist. I added almond to it. How cool does it sound?? Lemon and mint for the tang and then, almond for the crunch with grated almond topping.. perfect ! Before I go to the recipe, I would like to say that till next weekend I will be little busy having too much fun, so, I might miss visiting your blogs and responding to emails. In my next post, I will try to share some pics of the fun we had in Yosemite, only if I can take my hands out of the pocket to click some pictures!
Ok Guys, gotta run now.. her flight will arrive in few hours and I want to be on time to give (((hugs))) when they arrive 🙂
