Before any of you mutiny-lovin’ right-coasters befoul the L.A. Meetup thread under Abhi’s last post with questions about D.C. events, I thought I’d create a separate and more relevant space for my fellow chocolatiers. If, however, you are befouling the L.A. meetup thread by saying something less than sweet about my least favorite city, foul away with my Northern California-bred blessings. đ I keed, I keed.
Anyway, Channukah is almost here and that obviously means it’s time to wear desi clothes to a meetup!
Iron that kanjeevaram, dig up your favorite lengha and find that sherwani your cousin made you buy for his wedding, which you didnĂât think youĂâd get to use again. This is the MutinyĂâs first holiday party and I want you to glitter as much as the fantastic setting.
Can you picture it? Sepia lovelies in silk, the chime of bangles as crystal flutes are raised and the foodĂâŚmy goodness, you should come, just to try the bhindi and the saag. At YoDadĂâs request, Msichana showed up to the last DC meetup looking luminous in a sari which fought the sunset for that nightĂâs ĂâBest use of Pinks and PurplesĂâ-award, so you may thank her for inspiring this request for your best dress. How down are you with looking brown? :)[linkery]
A month ago, I asked you to save December 16th on your cluttered social calendars and several of you kindly did so. Now I need a final head count so that I can either make reservations or find a different venue— I’m sad to report that I’m having some issues with the luscious, gorgeous Rasika. But, depending on how many of you RSVP, those issues might be moot so hop to it my little bunnies. I need a number and I need it soon!
I have my niece’s b-day party and a friend’s b-day party, so put me down as a “no” for dinner reservations but I’ll to meetup with you all at some point in the night.
That was the earliest that Rasika was willing to accomodate us, which is part of why we are no longer going there– details are getting confirmed within the hour, but the new reservation is for a much more suitable 8pm. More soon!
Yes! We had exactly two spots left, they are yours. đ Can’t wait to meet you!
