February Theme Day: (Touch) Wood

It is time for February Theme Day: and this time the theme is Wood.
Here is a blast from the past. This is one of my closest friends, Gurneet and me almost hugging an artifact at India Habitat Centre. This is from our last outing before she got married and moved to Canada in January 2008. I vividly remember that after this photo we both had said in chorus: Touch Wood may we remain friends forever. :-)

A happy February everyone!

Canadian Barfi

Now here is a sweet dish, I had never imagined could exist. Barfi is a sweetmeat made of khoya, and is traditionally Indian. A sweet shop near my place has given this traditional sweet a Canadian twist. The only reason I can fathom for the creation of this new flavour is that lot of Indians have over the years settled in Canada.
