Where and What i have been reading

I came across this post about bloggers sharing their local libraries and also what they are currently reading. I thought this would be interesting as i am also a part of a book club for the past few months and thanks to that     i have been able to read some good literature.The picture below is of my local library " Hornchurch Library". It is a shame that i have not been able to utilise my library as much as i should have.
The books i have read so far :-

  • The Help by Kathryn Stockett
  • Difficult Daughters by Manju Kapoor
  • Home by Manju Kapoor
  • Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday
  • The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.
Hoping to read The To Do List by Mike Gayle,Married Women by Manju Kapoor and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseni.

Things in my Freezer

I came across this post where everybody was sharing what is there in their freezer. I have done a post long time ago about what's in my fridge. And since i have been out of blogging for a very long time,this post is a good starting point.I have 4 drawers in my freezer.I have a very few basic staples in my freezer which are constant and hardly change. In my first drawer i have 3 frozen Margherita Pizzas and 2 Tortilla wraps.We generally buy Margherita pizzas and then customise it by adding toppings of our choice.Second drawer consist of Frozen chips, Petit Peas and Mixed vegetables. Peas is something which we use quite a lot in Indian cooking.Third drawer consist of Haldiram's Cocktail Samosas, Meltz Rasgullas and Seriously Nutty Pistachio and Chocolate Icecream.Fourth drawer contains ice cube trays.
