too many cooks... make for loads of fun, and even more cleaning up! Had a cookout at my place today, with a bunch of colleagues from work; some with their significant others, and one who was surprised to have his "SO" show up for lunch, since she usually lives in Mumbai. The sneaky birthday surprise was worth it, and we now have a photograph with him hanging his mouth open in surprise - to keep for posterity!

My maid almost fainted when she saw the kitchen the next day. My idea of "cooking up" something usually means brewing coffee, so a busy day in the kitchen for her typically means having to wash a few cups, and maybe a pan and a plate used for Maggi. She managed to cope with the haphazard collection of a dozen plates, assorted pots and frying pans, innumerable glasses and the general feeling that a cyclone had been through (someone misjudged how much water my dinky pressure cooker could accommodate!)... but took the next day off!
