Hi Slingshot,

> Better start sharpening your Essee... btw I am no greenhorn at carving meat, dicing, slicing, shredding the veggies... am ready, willing & able to assit you & look over your shoulder to snap your secrets of marinating, sauting, garnishing & what have you
> CMG - this is an 'alert' - start the buzz - fix the dates & let's start the countdown...

CKK,
Baljit & your recent escapade (if I may call it) has set fire under our (you know what!!!) & we are all hopping doing the 'Watsui', which was a rage in the mid sixties
BTW - My old girl while doing some spring cleaning prior to Diwali unearthed a 2 lts 'Garrafa' of Port from the attic
This was a gift from a colleague who returned from a holiday in Goa - the label says 'mfd - 1990'
Plan to uncork this week-end - Rest assured I'll be raising a toast to You & Baljit - SALUD in advance

Slingshot......... lovely pics, and like Amol, my stomach (even after a full, but KFC, lunch) is giving certain signals!
What about a IFG MCMG outing to this or other similarly secluded spot?
A bit of "field target" to whet the appetites?
And by the way, I am getting the sausages on my way home today. Sunday special!!
And folks, can we have an election to appoint Brihaji official balladeer of IFG? His first commission should be to write an anthem for us!
Cheers!

Here's my humble submission
"The CMG Anthem'
The moment we met
A bond was forged,
On guns and blades
Our friendship was made.
We will always be together
Come rain or shine,
Sharing common interests
Nothing lost but everything gained.
Our love for life is not fame & glory
It’s of sharing & caring all through,
Be it food, wine and laughter
Being together is all that matters.
We live the life we love
And love the life we live,
It's the unwritten code of CMG
Honoring the pledge of RKKA and of IFG!
Briha

Brihaji.....that.....is.....awesome!!!!!!!!
Now for music to sing it to! Don't tell us you are an old hand at composing, too (I won't be surprised at anything after seeing you converse in French with the guy at Decathlon!!).
This is to be sung with upraised glasses in raucous voices (watch the movie "Flyboys", it's about Escadrille Lafayette, a French formation in WW1, manned by American pilots).
Cheers!
EssDee

And CMG .... unbeatable combination under the stars

Salud, Salud I am sure the 1990 vintage, 2 liter Carafe of Goan Port will last you - all of sixty minutes!
Smack! I can already feel the
dessert-ed effect of this most excellent Port!
