World's Longest Dosa

Sankalp Restaurant, (from Sankalp Group of Restaurants) Andheri branch, broke its own record of making the longest dosa. This was the second time after its first record in 1997,that a restaurant, from the Sankalp group, managed to appear in the Guinness Book of World Record. This dosa worth Rs.15000 can serve 30 to 35 people.

As per its first record, a 25-feet long Dosa was prepared on a 27-feet long tawa, by a team of 10, carried by a crew of six and served, a group of 25.

This time however, the dosa was an astonishing 30- feet long, prepared on a tawa that was an astounding 32-feet long. It had 20 ‘V’ shaped burners fixed in such a way, that the heat could be spread uniformly, all over the 32-feet tawa. A group of 16 expert chefs, prepared this dosa out of 12kgs of batter and 10-12kgs of oil.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

ita, can't recall if I asked you or just thought I should so pardon if this is a reask.

I am going to have the PADI cd duped until the post office sees fit to return our package to one of us. Want one? It's a pretty darn informative cd actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd love it! Thank you so much.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

No, but we are planning on using our VIP Line Passes to cut the line at the Bellagio's superdeluxe fancy buffet, and make the plebian masses shake their fists at us with bitter class consciousness.

So much cooler.

Phone pep is super easy, especially in limited doses.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I will need to look up both "dosa" and "tawa" before I follow that link.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

This kitty's gone to heaven...

Thank you SO MUCH for the Pixies earworm.

Why is everything exclaimy today? Apparently I also have the occasionally chipper posting manner, too!

Alibelle = adorable!

Are there any plebian masses at the Bellagio?

They allow them in to gamble in carefully-controlled doses.

Absolutely. I am happy to enable scuba-oost.

Though I am not decorating this envelope with the faint silver Buddhas as they clearly didn't protect the last package.

The problem with putting out the garbage the night before is that we have lots of skunks and oppossums...

I was going to say bears, then I figured there might not be a big bear problem there.

Lids on garbage cans, even good ones, are not so much help with bears. Except special bearproof ones that come on heavy-duty metal cans bolted to the sidewalk. Those significantly reduced the bear problem downtown.

ION, I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but this is sooooo cute! [link]

I love the name of Willie Nelson's new song: "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)"

I think it's the brackets that get me.

Thank you SO MUCH for the Pixies earworm.

I was JUST coming here to post that!

ION, some co-worker brought in leftover Valentine's Day cupcakes with, like, 10 inches of frosting on each cupcake, and even though they're leftover, they're still really good, and I've had 2 so far and am riding a SERIOUS sugar buzz. I anticipate an ugly crash right around the time I hop in the car to go home.
