Gold Fish (crocheted) Amigurumi

After a long time, I am back with my crochet hook in hand. Came across the goldfish pattern here many months back. Did two and gifted it to my maid's children. Now made two more for my home decorative set.

It is a very easy and quick to do project. 

All you need is crochet needle, black and orange coloured yarns, blunt eyed needles, polyfibre for stuffing.

Introducing you to the Gold couple,  Mr.Gino & Mrs. Gini . The cozy couple always seen busy engrossed in their sweet talks.

Linking posts from my cookbook for Street Party event

I am so happy to see the announcement on "Street Party" made by Shama @ easy2cook recipes.

Shama is hosting the event for Jagruti's Cooking Odyssey

Street food always had special place in my heart as they not only taste yummy but also boost immunity. We used to keep a 'street food evening' sometimes tasting at different stalls at khao gali.  There are various stalls serving dosas, vadapav, pav baji, parathas, momos, sandwiches, idlies, pani puri, sev puri, dahi puri, ragda puri......OMG the list will go on and i am already drooling :p 

As certain seasons carries certain diseases and to cut intake of transfat, making them at home is the best option. These recipes entered my cookbook for that reason after many R & D, trial & errors, discussions with friends and entered my lab, underwent a good chemical change to present an yummy dish.

I was overwhelmed to see the word 'unlimited entries' as I would have had a tough time in selecting the best street food from my cook book if it is a limited entry.

So here I am presenting the various posts i have linked there for participating in that event.

1. Chutney Sandwich  

2. Kutchi Dabeli

3. Pani Puri / Gol Gappas 

4. Momos / Dimsum/ Dumplings

5. Pav Bhaji

6. Beetroot Cutlet / Tikki / Pattice

7. Moongphali Chat / Kadalai Sundal / Groundnut Salad

Shama and Jagruti for giving this wonderful opportunity in which I am participating with immense pleasure.

I wish all the participants 'All the best"
