International Treats and Delights! Gulab Jamuns, Lor Mai Chi, and Chocolate Cake!

I can’t believe it’s been almost two weeks that I haven’t updated.   Yes, I admit, I have been lazy when it comes to my posts.  It would be so easy if I had a Blackberry with internet privileges!  I do apologize for that, but at least I can make use of my camera and post better quality pictures!

Let me show you what I’ve come across over the course of these two weeks!

Firstly,

My friend decided to surprise me with an assortment of gulab jamuns to excite my taste palate!  I have never have gulab jamuns before so this was definitely exciting to me.  From what I was told, gulab jamuns are essentially Pakistani/Indian donuts.   Now I just had to look it up to see what it is all about, and this is the recipe that I came across: Gulab Jamun.  I am definitely going to make this since I now have the passion to make sweets!  It doesn’t look that hard and it’s like making a donut!  The problem with Gulab Jamuns, in my opinion is that you have to eat it when it’s fresh out of the fryer.  When I got this from my friend, all the sugar has melted which coats the GJ with this syrupy goodness which I think is gross.  Who likes a soggy donut?   I sure as heck don’t.    Perhaps I need to get my friend to buy it early in the morning when it’s freshly made so it can do just to my taste buds!
