Mojito



When I was in India we never had any alcholic drinks, I guess back at home it was not something one did, have anykind of alchool drinks atleast females ( well I am talking about when I was a teenager which is more than 2 decades ago) or should i say 3, that would be a bit too long :-)
Well if my hubby reads this ( he never reads my blog so no probs :-) he will say yeah now see the indian talking she should drink Nimboo pani than this :-), that is what he tell me always as a joke.
Can't help it as you know I blame my drinking habbits to my MIL as she is the one who taught me to learn wine etc............. now a days she don't have to ask F do you want a glass of wine , before she can say wine i am yeah yeah i want ................
Not that we have drinks everyday, when ever there is a party then drinks are just pouring be it in my place or in my inlaws place.
So this is one of those drinks which we made when we had a party.

And that is what i did made these delicous muffins.

And she also wrote her mom is not a chocolate lover, but she loved these ones and she coudn't keep her hands off these delicoius muffins and her mom made them few times, so I was like my then it has to be yummy.
Well must say her mom was totally correct, when I mad them we at home coudn't keep our hands off these delicious Orange Walnut and Chocolate chip muffins.
