"Good Food but Over Priced"
We had heard a lot about this place and finally got a chance to visit SWATI SNACKS. This is a small little joint, with simple decor and very simple but quality food. The ingredients used are fresh, the services is good, the food is tasty too, but I had a feel that this place is a little over priced. I mean, a glass of butter milk or lemon juice or even a extra Roti for Rs. 140 /-that's too much.
I feel this place is much hyped and there are much better place to eat at good price too.

Best family restaurant...Amazing variety!
Swati restaurant in tardeo is pure vegetarian restaurant. here they get mix cuisine like gujrati food and South Indian food and pizza and pav bhajis. food is very tasty. Their speciality is panki,satpadi roti gatta nu shak and Jalebi is also very nice with sprinkle of amlonds on the top. they also serves sugercane juice and golas. food is very good but expensive. Its ambience is good and well placed since many years and has been always crowded.

Swati is an 100% veggie restaurant targeted for Gujarati Customers. Very tiny place with only ten tables. Be prepared to wait for 40 minutes on a weekend.
This place is unique serving simple traditional food at street-fare and preparing it hygienically. Kitchen is see-through so you can see how your food is prepared.They use Bisleri water for all their food and their preparers wear plastic gloves.
Panki, malai malpua, gatta nu shaak and satpadi roti, potato papad, pani puri, sev puri, sugarcane juice are some of their best sellers.
This is the quintessential place to snack out and comfort your craving for home-made goodness, outside home.

Local food at its best...
This is a place one should not miss. It is Vegetarian, with a lot of unusual items that you cannot find in restaurants elsewhere in India. It has Snacks from all over India; the Samosa Chat from North, Panki and Thalipith Pitla from Maharashtra, Dal-Bati from Rajasthan, Dosa-Idli from the South and the all time favourite Bhel and Dahi batata puri.
ITEMS YOU SHOULDN"T MISS: Mohan thal and Malpuva. Also the new item they have introduced is the Bajri Uttapam which is fantastic.
You can ask for items without onion and garlic. One can have the fresh coconut juice. The Sugarcane juice is fresh.
The Ice creams are all home made and very fresh with some seasonal fruit based varieties like Sitafal, Orange and Strawberry.
The hygiene is unbeatable and the food consistency is par excellence.

Amazing Food
Swati Snacks has been around for 40 years or so now and they have perfected the art of making yummylicious Gujarati cuisine. Its one of the oldest establishments apart from the thali restaurants which serve Gujarati dishes in an A la carte format.
If you are coming here during the weekend, like we did last night, be ready for a waiting time of atleast 35-40 minutes. Some out-of-the-box thinking customers order some starters on the take-away counter and eat them while waiting for their turn to come. Or to avoid all that come during the weekdays and eat at your leisure.
We were shown our table after waiting for exactly 38 minutes. Steel bench and wooden top tables are the order of the day. They have a 3 rows, the tables on right & left rows can seat 4 persons & the middle row can seat 6 persons, so if you are a going in a bigger group be ready to sit separately.
But when you are being served sumptuous food, who cares about the seating arrangement?
The interior is nice and noisy with ambient lighting. We were attended to almost within 2 minutes of seating ourselves.
We had utilised the waiting time to finalise the order and just fired away:
1] Sev Puri - The taste is different from the regular sev puri. The chutney they use is slightly spicy and tangy hence the difference. Wow!
2] Dahi Batata Puri - Run-of-the-mill Dahi Batata puri. It was ok-ish.
3] Paani Puri - They give you a combination of spiced alu, sprouts and boiled chana as a filling for the puri. The paani is spicy and tastes nice.
4] Bajri Khichu - Upma like dish made from bajra rawa and served with a red mild spicy chutney mixed with oil / ghee. Loved the chutney.
5] Pav Bhaji - One of the better Pav Bhaji I have had in a long time. The dominant taste is of the tomato and not the spices. It is spicy but not over-bearingly so.
6] Bajri Uttapam - Their in-house innovation. The Uttapam is entirely made from Bajra and has a tangy taste to it, served with spicy green chutney.
7] Dal Dhokli - WOOOOW is the word that describes this dish. Strips of wheat flour dough added to a typically sweet & mild spicy Gujarati dal and cooked together. Its a meal by itself.
8] Dal Baati Churma - Wheat flour balls, boiled in water and then roasted in a tandoor served with dal, ghee and churma. Churma is the made of the left over dough, fried in ghee, crushed and mixed with jaggery. This dish is srved with a stuffed green chilly, which is just wow! I shamelessly asked for an extra serving.
This dish has its origins in the Malwa region of Rajasthan.
9] Undhiyu with Jowar rotla - Mind blowing Undhiyu, the best dish of the evening. The Undhiyu was not in an "Oil Pool", no over bearing taste of garlic and you could feel the flavour of each vegetable.
10] Kadhi Khichdi with Alu shaak - Khichdi with gujarati spicy & sour kadhi served with mild spicy potato veggie.
11] Pudina Chhas - Creamy buttermilk whipped with pudina leaves to form a killer combination. Loved it!
The service is one of the best I have come across. The orders were brought out and served even faster than I thought considering the crowd they were catering to; maybe they have accustomed themselves to it.
The total bill for all of the above came to Rs.2,290 for 6 people, Rs.380 per head; is a very value for money proposition.
However the prices of some items didn't quite go down well. A Wada Pav is listed for Rs.140 which is 14 times the cost of street price. Agreed that for quality you do have to pay a price but 14 times is exorbitant & also the fact that some of the best Wada Pav in Mumbai is the street side one.
Again this is an individualistic view and nothing against the management, they charge it and they have clients who pay.
I'm coming again and recommending people to visit this restaurant as well.
Thanks for the wonderful food!

Mouth watering Gujju Food
40 years ago, a little restaurant started in Bombay. Food was cooked at home and served at the restaurant. Over the years, it has grown in size and reputation. Today it has become an institution with Additions to the Menu (so I've heard from people who have been going from the time it started), Hygiene, Quality, Delicacies, Service and Mouth- watering Gujju food (a cuisine which the Gujarati's eat at home).
The restaurant has become so popular and is frequently visited by Celebs. There is always a huge crowd waiting to get inside. They also provide catering services for weddings, etc.
I happened to be in Bombay (Mumbai) to explore good places to eat and after a tough day, my relatives recommended we dine at "Swati Snacks" for dinner. We reached the venue at 8:30 pm on a Sunday. Like I said, huge crowd is always waiting to get inside. Seeing the crowd was a big turnoff for me and made me wonder what made these people wait so long to get inside a restaurant which serves the same cuisine which they eat at home. I mean what was the big deal ?!? And I found my answer...
Parking was not a problem as they have Valet Service to take care of the needful.
The service is good and the staff smiles. Since I had heard so much about "Swati Snacks" already, I did not care to look at the snacks section of the menu (which contained South Indian dishes and Chaat) but my relatives ordered Gol Gappa also known as Puchhka / Pani Puri to which the first thought that came to my mind was that there are other better places in Mumbai to have it, until the plates were served!
Crispy Puri is made from Semolina (Suji) or Wheat (Atta). Served with chilled mint flavored water. With Mint I could taste a lot of Coriander too (Dhaniya). The plate also contains Hot Ragda (it compliments the chilled mint water), Sprouts, Boiled Chickpeas (Kabuli Channa), small pieces of Potatoes mixed in very little chilly powder and Tamarind (Imli) Chutney (sauce). When my favorite "Panipuri wallah" is serving me these delightful little puri's one after the other, I go on eating till I get no more. This too was fairly Good!
We then ordered the Panki Chatni. Its a corn pancake which is steamed between Banana leaves. Frankly, I have never had this before but now I understand why people love this traditional dish so much. Served with Green Chilly and Coriander Chutney. The uniqueness lies in its Flavor. Plus with the caliber with which it is spread on the Banana leaves so that when you remove the Panki from the leaves to eat, it comes out so smoothly that it melts in your mouth. It is so different that its certainly capitalizing on their secret Panki recipe.
After this, we ordered the Satpadi Roti - Gatta nu Shak, one of their most popular dish. Gatta being made of Besan (Gram Flour) Rolls in Curd Gravy. Satpadi Roti is made of Plain flour, coriander leaves and cooked with a lot of Ghee. Though I did not enjoy much of the Roti but I enjoyed the Gatta ki sabzi. Its spicy and gives a whole new taste. Takes time to make this Saag, as I recall my mother informing me about the procedure to cook this dish, back home.
Ice Cream - The Ice creams at Swati are all freshly Hand - made and they do not pack for take - away. And believe me when I say that the staff is polite enough to tell that the ice - cream will start melting in less than 10 minutes and it is not a good idea.
We had the Seetafal Ice Cream, also known as sweet apple / custard apple, which again is very famous here and an excellent source of Vitamin A, C and Calcium :P
Simply WOW!!
I enjoyed every bit of the meal here. Since these were dishes one cannot find at regular joints. The ambiance is pleasant, cleanliness is evident and service is decent. I would really like to go again and so should you.

Standards have dropped
I have been eating at Swati Snacks since over 10 years and it was a meal I used to look forward to. Their menu was undoubtably the first in its category in the city and they still have a clientele thats been visiting the restaurant since years.
My last meal there though was a shame. Here's why:
1. Sath padi + Gatta- The roti was over stuffed and extremely hard to chew. Having eaten this dish numerous times I asked the server why it was made differently and not up to the mar- the reply was a simple- thats just how it is.
2. Paneer LIfafa- Though the wrap roti was great, the paneer inside was cold, hard and crumbly. Probably not left to thaw post marination.
I will admit that their paanki is, was and always will be the best dish on the menu and do hope that they take this review seriously.

veg delite
Wow its still amazing, going there since a kid, high time I document it. The food is like out of a traditional Indian kitchen. Its not north Indian cuisine, its simply home food! The quality is amazing, service is quick but you may have to wait in line till you get a table - its usually full. Best time to go is during snacks time post 230pm.
The satpadi roti and saag, faada khichdi, panki and kahwa is a must have!

Gujju home food with a twist!
Since years, I had been passing by the main road opposite Bhatia hospital wondering what made huge crowds (especially Gujjus!) wait so long to get inside a place which serves the same cuisine which they eat at home. The crowds outside Swati were always a major turnoff for me and the fact that how different this one restaurant could be from the food one would usually find in a typical Gujju Home. I mean, what was the big deal??? I found the answer last weekend
It was an extended family dinner in the on the occasion of celebrating 2 past events - a birthday and an anniversary and Swati Snacks was decided as the venue for the same. I had my reservations (as mentioned above) plus the fact that we were to go on a Saturday evening. May be the Gods heard and when we reached Swati, the waiting time turned out to be just 5 minutes before we were ushered inside. Parking in the vicinity was a problem but thankfully, they had valet to take care of the needful.
I dont know whether we were just plain lucky or because it was the Navratri season, but there was just not the usual rush which I was so accustomed to see at Swati. Either ways, it was good for us. The service was good and with a smile Since I had heard so much about the traditional Gujarati food at Swati, I didnt really bother looking at the snacks section in the menu (which comprised of south Indian snacks and Chaats!). Of course, a few others in our group did order the Dosas and the Ragda Pattice which even I found fairly good. But then, there are better places in Mumbai to have these!
Heres a list of the stuff we had that evening (I have a decent appetite so dont be too shocked!):
Panki Chatni - Panki is a little corn pancake which is steamed between banana leaves. Frankly, I have never ever been a Panki fan but I think I understand why people seem to love this traditional dish so much. The uniqueness of the Swati Panki lies in its flavours, no doubt, plus the fineness with which it is spread on the banana leaves, so that when you try to remove the Panki from the leaves to eat, it comes out smoothly and melts in the mouth, just like a super thin Neer dosa! Of course, it will not even fill 25% of your tummy, even if you are a light eater and therefore certainly not worth the money. However, I must say that it is different and they are certainly capitalizing on their secret Panki recipe!
Moong dal chilla, Dal dhokli and Dahi Misal: Well prepared. But nothing much to talk about.
Bajri Khichu: Another traditional dish which some in our group really enjoyed while some didnt. As for me, Ive had better at home. However, this is dish will fill you up well.
Khichdi Kadhi Batata Shaak: This was the very simple and authentic Gujarati khichdi prepared in homes (disappointing for those who are used to ordering the spicy Dal khichdi which almost every restaurant serves these days!) Reminded me of the Khichdi at home. Very nice and soothing!
Thalipith pitla: I am a huge fan of the Marathi dish Pitla-bhakri and was wondering as to how this dish had found its way to the traditional section here. Nevertheless, it was wonderful prepared. However, just one small thalipith was given along with a medium size bowl of pitla. The quantity of pitla was adequate for 2 small thalipiths (or one big thalipith). I would have preferred to finish off my pitla with thalipith instead of just finishing it off with other things!
Dhansaak bhaat: Dhansaak is a Parsi dish but the version here certainly was nowhere close to the actual version. Tasty spicy gravy but this is not Dhansaak.
Malaai malpuda: Now this one made me go WOW!!!!! And a big WOW that was! Fabulous Malpuda(2 small pieces) which were generously stuffed with yummy malaai. Ill be surely going back for more of this. I loved it so much that I parceled some back home. Heaven!
Ice-cream: The ice-creams at Swati are hand-made and certainly not for takeaways. Infact, the staff is nice enough to tell that the ice-creams will start melting in less than 10 mins and take-away is not a good idea. We had the flavor of the day which I think was Rose Coconut. Superb again!
There were some starters (whose names I dont remember) put up as the specials of the day which were good too. It was definitely a good evening because we had had some less oily food which was tasty and fun at the same time. Not to forget it was enjoyed by kids and elders too. Food is moderately expensive as the quantities do not justify the price and you will have to eat atleast 2-3 dishes to stuff yourself properly!
However, I guess I had discovered the reason behind Swati Snacks fan following. Its that feeling of home away from home.

Oh so famous
Swati snacks popularity is known far and wide and one need not say much about it! Its frequented by small time celebs and also provides catering services for weddings, etc. The panki chatni is a traditional speciality here - also the think wafer crust pizzas, the chaat items, the frankies and the pao bhajis are super fabulous! Go again if you already have, go once if you haven't already

Filling, vegetarian fare
Even though Swati Snacks is just bang opposite where I live, for some strange reason it isn't a place that I frequent. However one day the husband and I decided that we had to go and try the thali there. And I'm glad we were that determined.
The thali didn't disappoint, we began with a mini chaat platter along with their delicious pudina chaas. The main course was a thali comprising several of their signature dishes, out of which the Satpadi roti, Gatta nu saag and makkai handvo were winners. The dessert was malpua with rabdi that made for a sweet finish.

Almost close to home food!
I m a regular at Swati since the past 10 years. And seen some changes as well. The food is almost close to home food. You can eat here daily. The panki, vada-pao, bajra khichyu, sugarcane juice and sancha ice creams is food that you will not get anywhere else in Mumbai. Though the prices are also not something you will see in Mumbai. almost Rs.100 for a sev puri! But I feel its worth the money spent as the quality of food is very very good.
July 27,2013
This is one place I can go every single day.. Their panki is to die for!! It's so soft n yummy .. Can eat 10 panki's in one go. All the items on the menu are worth a try... Vry good food, ambiance is quite decent, quick service, not too pricy. Wish they had a branch in Bandra. Please come soon to Bandra.. :)
Fading Credibility -- Loyal Patrons Losing Hope
Had been a regular and loyal Swati customer since last decade ; the place seems to have lost completely and taken the appreciation of its customers and media over its head.
Very much disappointed since last 2 years on all aspects - be it food quality, ambiance, service and above all hygiene.
Airconditioners are many times not properly working, even when all 4 ACs are ON they seem to choke-up and hence not properly blowing air ; and when blowing air, the fog clearly is visible.
Food quality is getting deteriorated every passing day -- just take the example of my last two visits during last three weeks, Dosas are delivered which are partly black from the bottom -- probably because of some issue with their dosa-pan. Theplas are delivered partially burnt -- This is not the food we were used to eat in Swati and for which so many awards were awarded which are prominently displayed on the wall of the restaurant even today.
Todays' Swati seems to be a kingdom without king and the most affected ones are the loyal customers like us who are fond of eating out every weekend at Swati.
June 07,2013
Not Worth It Anymore
Swati can't be called moderately priced anymore. Success seems to have gone to their head. This reflects in the unreasonable price increase for all the items in their menu. Did not expect that it would work out to over Rs.1450/- for a satisfying snacky meal for two including a drink and an ice cream. You pay 5 star rates to eat out of Melamine Crockery, get paper tissues like in an Udipi restaurant and instead of Music you may experience cacophony of uncontrolled children left loose by other diners. Why not go to an actual 5 Star, as Swati is not worth it anymore.
January 07,2013
i've been frequenting this stall for the last 20 years atleast now... right from the time I was in standard 1 coming with my elder sister who still is a fan of Chaat bringing her children too...... and everytime the taste is just the same or I can say tastier and more tastier. Never had more delicious dahi puri, dahiwada and bhel in my life than at Swati.
Definitely droolworthy... and a must visit for roadside-food lovers..!!!!!
November 15,2012
Was Great... Now Good...
All steel snacky bar.. Neat & tidy
Love the gatta & satpadi
Love the panki
Love the bhelpuri
Paneer luffa used to be wow.. Now is badly made & served..
The ragda Pattice was salt less
The dosa served in the cold
Ambiance is unkept now. Service is careless to say the least !
Are they losing the plot ? Does the lady owner not come here anymore ?
August 20,2012
nice to get there without waiting
Went here after a long time and suprised to see no waiting. Hate waiting and I guess going there around 4 is the right time.
They have maintained there standards. The shrikhand was especially good today and so was the peru ki sabzi. loved the jawar ke roti and methi bajre ki roti.
the regular stuff is still brilliant and the service fast.
need to improve the peru juice. Friends loved the sugarcane juice.

Unhealthy and Unhygienic with Poor Ambience
Had gone to this place with my family and friends based on the recommendation of one of my relative who had insisted its the good one for gujaratis... It was really a horrible experience... Enumerating below the detailed reasons on why, even being a proud gujarati I will not visit this place again...
From one of the ceiling air conditioner fog/smoke was coming out which is extremely unhealthy for my child's lungs (as pointed out by my doctor friend who was there with me),,
My wife wanted to use the washroom and to her surprise the door of the toilet was so hard that it was unable to get closed...One of the nice old aged lady who is regular visitor at the restaurant advised her not to try hard as otherwise she will hurt herself.... She told her that door is in this condition since quite long and she had told regarding this to the staff but they didn't bother.
Water was not coming out of wash basin tap and we had to wash the hands by taking the water from the glass and jug..... I am surprised if this is the condition outside what will be the condition inside the kitchen ??
Quality of food, I will say not having much complaint, but its not worth its priced as I have been to many better restaurants who provide similar quality food alongwith good ambience and wide range... In sitting they are not having proper comfortable chair-table also and if you are 5 or more people then the sitting will be quite uncomforting especially for children and old aged.
All and all, I don't think its a must-visit restaurant as only average quality food can't do the trick if customer's basic comforts like washroom and wash basin are not taken care of. I will not visit Swati again.
Very BAD SERVICE of Swati Snacks, Tardeo, Mumbai
Swati used to be good place for eating good food. It still maintains the same taste but nowaday it service has become very poor and very pathetic. Last Saturday, we went with the family and we had a very bad service experience. We have to ask several times for taking orders, even for water !!. The height of the exeperience was that even the manager who was supposed to look after the whole restaurant was purposely overlooking elsewhere and not even bothered to attend the same. When we asked for complaint register, he even didn't bother to give. Then I have insisted on the same then he gave a very old compalint form with full of dust and crumpled !!. I don't know whether it has gone to management or dustbin !!
Now it is very clear that the restaurant which keeps on getting the best food award should be reviewed timely again for the services since we have not seen the owner around any time !!
Concluding remarks: It is definitely not a good place to take your family and clients to treat since the service is worst ever experience.

My mom is a veggie. So we decided to have dinner at Swati. We first ordered some snacks. A paneer lifafa (roll kinda thing) and a 'fudina panki'. My roll was strictly average with four medium paneer cubes in 2 rolls. The fani had turned sour cuse evidently the batter was not freshly made. We chucked out the idea of having a full fledged meal. This is my first and last time into any Swati Snacks.

Great gujrati food!
I am a big fan of non-vegetarian food and would eat only non-veg when I go out to dine. But swati snacks' VEG food was so good that I didn't miss my usual nv food. This was also my first experience at having gujrati food and man it is tasty and so nutritious. It is on the expensive side though. I ordered platter 4 (thali) and it was quite sumptuous. We also ordered masala dosa, pav bhaji and corn handvo. Very tasty and fresh. The place is very clean and I love that about swati snacks. Customer service was excellent.
August 13,2011
Enjoyable but Expensive
I have been quite a few times to Swati Snacks. Essentially they have two types of dishes, Gujarati/Jain specialities and other snacks. Both varieties are enjoyable except for the "Fada ni Khichdi" (yuck). The only reason I gave it 3 instead of 5 stars is because of their exorbitant prices. Every item is hugely overpriced. The ambience is okay. A plus point is valet parking.

All steel interiors... looks cool...
Excellent place for snacking. Mainly Gujju food...
Loveeee the gatta with satpadi. Panki, fada ni khichdi & pani puri are delectable.

Swati Snack - A Must visit Once
Ambience - Very simple. Stainless stell seats and tables
Like somone mentioned earlier, not a place you would want to take one for a romantic dinner
It's filled with loads of families from where i Belong and kids
Service- WOW. 100%. Fantastic.
and now - FOOD
My swati favourites are clearly the Panki and the Pav Bhaji. The panki is amazing.The Pav Bhaji is tasty. . Sugar cane juice isn't bad byt comes at a cost.
So conclusion- good food, but well, looking at the prices you may think twice. It's lost its charm of being a cheap snack place, but is more like a gourmet roadside snack stall. I have eaten far better bhels and sev puris for one sixth the price on the streets of mumbai .
However, Swati's is a must try atleast a couple of times for both vegetarians and non vegetarians.

review only on cheese dosa
Whenever I go to swati snacks, I only order cheese dosa, and so I dont know how the other foods in swati taste like. The cheese dosa, sambhar and chutney are amazing. The taste is unbelievable and whenever I eat there, I have about 6 cheese dosas. Whoever has not tried the cheese dosa, must try it

Gujju affair with a TWIST
Where else will you find Chaat,Maharashtrian, Gujarati & some Parsi dishes(that 2 veg) under 1 roof which tastes brilliant???
@ Swati Snacks!!!
However its way 2 noisy as its usually dominated & crowded by gujaratis who yell at the top of voices even to talk to the person next to them!..n moreover they come in groups which increSEs THEIR ALREADY LOUD VOLUMES 4fold!!!
but the place is a must visit if you are in that area...the food is soo simple.....so different....
It has something to offer every taste bud...
March 04,2010
Sure winner :)
Ok, this one's a winner.
Ha bhai haa, sherdi no ras, fada ni khichdi aney dabka kadhi. Majja ni life!! If only the place wasn't so damn far away for us suburbites - whatta concept!
Traditional home stuff and one of the safe ganne ka juice places :) And its cheap! They also have tacos, pizzas and falafels, but then I wouldnt go here for Mexican, Italian & Lebanese food, would I? Try the Dal dhokli, try the khichyu - all good stuff!
No value for money
The food menu has remained the same for ages - but it tastes good. Is spicy at times though.
But the long queues have made them randomly increases prices and hence now there is no value for the money you spend there!
Like someone said - the ambience is simple and basic plus one has to wait an hour on the road - and after that charging so high? Not worth it anymore
October 16,2009
its different
the food is pretty good. service is quick as they also want hundreds of customers waiting outside to be able to come in quickly. make reservations or reach 30 minutes before the hunger pang hits you. waiting is obvious even if it is a weekday.
very basic yet soothing ambiance, not a very quiet place, it is chirpy and filled with voices.
try fada ni khichdi
ice cremes
sugarcane juice
coconut water
enjoy the delicious food!

Good to try
Hard to find food served at hard to get tables. But once you're in there, the service is fast and the food is great, if just for the novelty of eating homestyle-ish gujju/jain fare. It's nowhere close to amazing, but definitely above average and i would say, worth a try.
Panki + Khichdi + Sugarcane fizz = Contentment
July 29,2009
expensive average - from a non gujju
Right, so this is coming from a NON GUJJU firstly. It's coming from someone who dines there pretty often, with a wide circle of gujju friends.
So now that's cleared, let it begin.
I've known Swati all my life since i live a 10 second walk from it, so i've seen it evolve from serving Bhel at Rs20 a plate to Rs 60. From non AC to AC.
Ambience - Very simple, no frills. Stainless stell seats and tables, easy to clean and mantain. Comfortable nevertheless.
Like somone mentioned earlier, not a place you would want to take one for a romantic dinner- it's filled with loads of gujju families and their screaming kids coupled with bustling waiters.
Service- WOW. 100%. Fantastic. Asha should really go to Wharton and lecture them on service. Harvard should learn how those people always manage to serve the Panki below 4 minutes flat. Although they do slacken up during off peak hours - a Tea takes 8 minutes! But nevertheless, it's one of the best i've ever seen. That also means the amount of time you spend there is minimal. There are huge queues outside Swati, and one can spend more time waiting then eating.
and now - FOOD
My swati favourites are clearly the Panki and the Pav Bhaji. The panki is amazing, and absoluitely divine- soft, tender and hot and FRESH. The Pav Bhaji is pretty yummy too. The Bhel is good, but way too little for 60 rupees! A must have there is the Dahi Batata Puri- my friends swear by it. Sugar cane juice isn't bad, and if you're still hungry, have the cheese mex. The Dosas- wow they're crispy as anything. I would reccomend the cheese dosa- the roll it up like a topi, much to many kids delight. The Sev Puri, Bhel Puri, Pani Puri- they're good- but then again- not worth 60 bucks a portion. Same for the Masala Chai- it's very ok, but Rs 40!!
Their Jalebi was amazing, but they stopped serving that (God alone knows only why). For Rs 200 a kilo, they were yellow and juicy, but now you only get them on Sunday mornings.
There is a new range of vegetarian and jain dishes, especially for the health conscious which i have not yet explored ( I prefer to stick to the old time favourites), but if you're a jain vegetarian looking for some variety, i would strongly reccomennd a visit to swati. But a word of advice- don't expect it to be cheap.
So conclusion- good food, but well, looking at the prices you may think twice. It's lost its charm of being a cheap snack place, but is more like a gourmet roadside snack stall. I have eaten far better bhels and sev puris for one sixth the price on the streets of mumbai ( I strongly reccommend the Bhel puri wallah outside JB petit school at Fort, South Bombay) However, if you want a nice saturday night out, with some good food, (and you're vegetarian) and you wouldn't mind braving the long queques, then go ahead.
However, Swati's is a must try atleast a couple of times for both vegetarians and non vegetarians.

Prepare to queue
If you know this place, you know the food. No advertisement is better than word of mouth, and this place thrives on those in the know telling their friends about how great it is.
This family-run restaurant has been handed to the famous daughter of the family who has invoked a definite modern feeling into proceedings. The design is super, the menu is simple, the food is excellent, and the cost is negligible.
Try and get here out of the main eating times to avoid making a queue outside on plastic chairs. Be warned: The pav bhaji is the best in Mumbai.

Nice Gujarati food
Swati snacks serves very good Gujarati food. I am basically from North India, and never thought that Gujarati food can be so good. I went there with a Gujju friend, and really liked the food. The South Indian and Maharashtrian food can be better.
Over all a value for money experience.

Above average with food you wont find easily...
Swati is great option for veggies. The place has balance the menu for those who love charged flavours right upto those who enjoy subtleness.
ABout the food:
Most things on the menu are unconventional. Its not your regular Paneer Makhanwala joint. Its a healthly mix of Maharashtrian, Gujarati, Parsi cusine with a touch of south indian and decent chaat items. Quality is no doubt great! The food is likely to appeal to most people's palate.
Umm... its a gujju place.... so you are likely to run into loud gujaratis and bit of a chaotic environment... especially if you go in prime meal hours. Waiting can get quite long. Simple and straight forward furniture (yet elegant).
You can take away too.

Homestyle food in a utilitarian ambience
I've eaten here some 5-6 years ago, but a place that I keep hearing only good about, surely deserves another visit. A month ago, we tried eating here after getting some work done in Worli. 2 .15 pm and 45 minutes waiting! Our growling stomachs did not agree to that kind of wait and we drove off to the nearby Sardar Pav Bhaji.
Today, we decided during our morning walk, that we wanted to visit Swati Snacks for lunch! Ironical that we think of where to add up the calories while we are burning some...Considering that it is a good hour's drive from our place, going all the way for lunch was a gamble, we decided to take anyway.
We reached there some 10 minutes before 1pm, and needless to say, I rushed to queue up our name while my husband waited to deal with the valet. Imagine our glee when we were told '10 minutes waiting'~ I nearly exclaimed "Only that much??" to the guy with the 'waiting list'.
The next ten minutes were spent studying the other waiting people under the awning and the people who were alighting from running cars to make sure they are better placed on the waiting list :)
We were ushered inside in 15 minutes..and we spent some time studying the one page laminated menu, split into specialties, snacks, beverages and desserts. To cool off we ordered a glass of kacha kairy pano and a salted lassi. The former made from cooked raw mangoes lacked the tangy edge and had plenty of saffron strands. While I do like the fragrance of saffron, the raw mango drink was totally dominated by the saffron taste, which was overpowering any mango taste! (Drinks around Rs.50 each)
A plate of dahi batata puri downed and we were ready to order the main course. My partner had the thalipeeth with a thick besan curry. The thalipeeth was sizzling hot and the besan curry really yummy with tomatoes, onions and garlic. I do suspect it had a lot of ghee that gave it a great taste.
My order was the satpadi roti with gatte ki sabzi...another thick multigrain traditional bread cooked with lots of oil and the Rajasthani curry with tiny besan dumplings. While the roti was in many layers and high on flavour, the gatta curry was ok, not extraordinary in any way. (Main dishes Rs.100 each)
Since they serve just one piece of bread in any main course, you can order an extra thalipeeth or roti at Rs.60.
Almost every table was ordering the panki (delicate rice crepes cooked between banana leaves on a hot skillet), and we decided to order the minty version served with a green chutney and some pickled green chillies. This was indeed the best dish for me after the besan curry that came with the thalipeeth. The panki was melt-in-the-mouth delicious and very light too. They serve a plain and a dill version of this too. (Rs.60)
Not finding any great choices for dessert, we went with the Gujarati Puran Poli (Rs.85), which took a good 10 minutes to make an appearance on the table, delicate, fluffy, coated with melted ghee and the filling oozing out. It was the best puran poli i'd had in a long time, as I am not much in love with the thinner maharashtrian version, that has a maida cover. Just one odd thing about this, i have never heard or seen puran poli being served with raita, especially when you call it a dessert. Anyway, may be one of their ideas which their patrons seem to enjoy.
Service was quick and efficient. Most dishes took atleast ten minutes, but considering that each item we ordered was piping hot, I understand they make everything FRESH, once they get an order, which is a HUGE positive for me. The ambience is nothing to write about. It's quite clean and utilitarian. not much space wasted around the place, no flowers and nothing fancy! But when the food is good, the ambience is secondary.
All in all, the meal came to 600 Rs. excluding the tip.
If you are one of those who has never made it to eating here because of the waiting, try reaching earlier than 1pm and you may just about get in without too much of a hassle.
Worth a visit for some of the authentic dishes they serve! Do try Mint Panki and the Thalipeeth!

I'm a Delhi boy, and the fact that my Gujju girlfriend brought me here straight from the airport must say something about the food at this place. I'm new to Gujju cuisine, and I must say I absolutely loved the food here. As the name implies, Swati specializes in Gujarati and Marathi fast food, and they do it brilliantly. Gujarati cuisine is probably amongst the most underrated in India, which is sad considering the mind-boggling balance of flavours that it affords, not to mention its vegetarian-friendliness. Sweet and sour are by no means mutually exclusive in Gujju cuisine, and I think Swati does a great job of bringing this incredible mixology to your taste buds. I tried a lot of different dishes, and everything was delicious, yet light. The decor is functional, the service is most businesslike, but this still feels like a neighbourhood joint, and fires on all cylinders.
August 20,2007
Well, finally broke down and went to Swati for the first time since it became the new Swati. Bit weird since i drive by twice a day.
The place is always packed, anytime of day, the decor is modern, minimalist but comfortable. The service is exceedingly quick and to the point , no nonsense type( we got done in 50 minutes) the menu is a mix of Gujarati, Maharashtrian and the ever popular South Indian foods.
We went for the Dahi Misal, which was probably some of the best i have ever had, the Baked, masala Khichadi very very spicy but again a great call. Who knew khichadi could be like this.
The next thing we got was the Sabudana Khichadi, which was ok. The Dahi Kachori, was not what i expected, and it wasnt that great to taste either.
Swati is a good option to try some traditional delicacies (Soam is another such place) however the Chaat isnt upto the mark. I didnt try the South Indian fare and wouldn't want to anyway.
Pricing is slightly on the higher side for some of the things but overall its worth it.
Damage 250.

Fantastic food!
Dahi Batata Puri, Falafel, Paanki, Pav Bhaji, Gattu Nu Shak & Satpadi Rotli, Khichdee, Malai Malpuha... Everything that you get at Swati Snacks tastes awesome. Overpriced but considering the quality and taste it's worth going again and again. I have eaten here around a 100 times already and is amongst my favourite places to eat. Even the Jalebi-Ghaatiya that you get in the morning is great.
The only negative point is the long waiting time. To avoid the queue, it is recommend that one lands up for an early lunch or dinner.
June 25,2007
Place a blindfold on your eyes, and put your finger down on a dish, I assure you its going to be just awesome. Everything on the menu is a delight. Make sure you put in a reservation, the waiting time can be close to 30-45 minutes sometimes. I have had food here five times now, and I still grab every chance to go again!
Moderately priced, this is truly an awesome place to have food if you are in the area.

Verizon CEO: iPhone Still Apple's Call
Verizon Communications CEO Ivan Seidenberg said his company was open to the iPhone but added that the final call on bringing the device to Verizon Wireless was really up to Apple.
Seidenberg made the comments during a Q&A immediately following a speech before the Council on the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
Seidenberg was on hand to discuss all things related to the FCC's National Broadband plan and the commission's push toward net neutrality. The discussion afterwards turned to the likes of Apple.
When asked whether Verizon had plans to carry the iPhone, Seidenberg sounded more comfortable with the idea than he has in the past. "We're open to doing that. It's [Apple's] shot. It's their call. We want to carry everybody's device," he said in a video posted on the CFR's Web site.
Seidenberg cited a recent report by The Wall Street Journal that said Apple is looking into an iPhone for Verizon. "All I can say is that we've expressed to Apple that we have an interest," he said, but added that Apple is a company that "operates on their own frequency."
Siedenberg also explained the difference between Verizon's CDMA network and AT&T's GSM network. He said that as both carriers move toward a common 4G standard in LTE, the logistics of an iPhone for Verizon become less complicated.
But it's not just the iPhone that Seidenberg mentioned. He went on to say that Verizon has picked up a couple of iPads to try. He said that Apple's latest creation, which will get its 3G connectivity through AT&T, will drive traffic because it is without a hard drive and will be heavily dependent on cloud-based storage and content.

World Renowned Zoologist Presents Science Lecture
October 11, 2007
SELINSGROVE, (Pa.) – Internationally known author and scientist Tim Flannery will present the 2007 Claritas Distinguished Lecture in the Sciences at Susquehanna University October 18. The lecture, titled "The Weather Makers" in recognition of Flannery's groundbreaking book by the same name, begins at 8 p.m. in Degenstein Center Theater. The event is free and open to the public.
"It is a distinct honor to have someone of Dr. Flannery's stature presenting the Claritas Distinguished Lecture in the Sciences," said Terry Winegar, dean of the School of Natural and Social Sciences at Susquehanna University. "An acclaimed scientist, explorer and conservationist, Dr. Flannery is in a class of his own. He is sure to present a thought-provoking lecture that leaves a lasting impression on the audience."
Flannery is one of Australia's leading thinkers and writers. His New York Times bestseller, "The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth," explores the connection between climate change, global warming and human activity. His belief that human activity is drastically altering the earth's climate guides his conviction to mobilize the social and political will to address the problem before it is too late. During public speaking engagements, he informs audiences about what is happening to the planet, and presents a game plan to halt current warming trends and begin reversing the damage that's been done.
In January, Flannery was named Australian of the Year. In 2005, he was honored as Australian Humanist of the Year. Formerly the director of the South Australian Museum, he serves as chairman of the South Australian Premier's Science Council and Sustainability Roundtable, director of the Australian Wildlife Conservancy and National Geographic Society's representative in Australia.
Flannery is also a leading member of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, which reports independently to government on sustainability issues. He received a Centenary of Federation Medal for his service to science, and in 2002 he became the first environmentalist to deliver the Australia Day address to the nation.
As a field zoologist, Flannery has discovered and named more than 30 new species of mammals, including two tree-kangaroos. He was awarded the Edgeworth David Medal for Outstanding Research when he was 34 years old. Sir David Attenborough placed him in the league of the world's great explorers for his pioneering work in New Guinea, and the writer Redmond O'Hanlon proclaimed that Flannery "discovered more new species than Charles Darwin."
His books include the definitive ecological histories of Australia and North America. He is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and The Times Literary Supplement. He has been a familiar voice on ABC Radio, NPR and the BBC for more than a decade, and he is known to viewers of the Documentary Channel as writer-presenter on the series "The Future Eaters" (1998), "Wild Australia" (2003), " Islands in the Sky" (1992) and "Bushfire" (1997). He was a principal consultant on the Special Broadcasting Service's series "The Colony" (2004) and is currently the Australian consultant-presenter for the international series "ATLAS."
Flannery spent a year as professor of Australian studies at Harvard University, where he taught in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. Earlier this year, he accepted a teaching position at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.

With all 81 precincts reporting, Dorchester County failed to crack the 5 percent mark for voter turnout in todays primary runoff.
Dorchester voters didnt have any local races to attract them to the polls.
Instead, they were asked to decide on two statewide races. Republicans chose their candidates for lieutenant governor and education superintendent, and Democrats chose their candidate for education superintendent.
The Associated Press has called the lieutenant governor race for former S.C. Attorney General Henry McMaster.
Statewide, he so far has 65 percent of the vote against Mike Campbell. In Dorchester County, McMaster garnered 71 percent of the vote.
Molly Spearman is leading the Republican runoff for education superintendent with 58 percent of the vote statewide; she earned 59 percent of the Dorchester County vote against Sally Atwater.
On the Democratic side, Tom Thompson is leading the education superintendent runoff with 63 percent of the vote; he took 63 percent in Dorchester County against Sheila Gallagher.

Summer camp with the Tar Heels
Seth Rison, a rising sixth grader at Pollard Middle School in Chatham County, shot hoops, ran drills and learned fundamentals from college coaches and athletes at Roy Williams Carolina Basketball Camp June 15-19 after he won a Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship.
Scholarship winners were selected by a panel of judges who reviewed applications which included academics, extracurricular activities and an essay.
"Seth is an outstanding student, athlete and community member, and Central Electric is pleased to offer students like him the opportunity to experience life on a college campus and to learn from some of the NCAA's best year after year," said Janet Jackson, program coordinator plus Energy Use and Information Specialist at Central Electric Membership Corporation.
Rison is the son of Katrina McConkey of Pittsboro.
At camp in Chapel Hill, kids stayed in dorms and were coached by Williams, his coaching staff and current and former Tar Heel players. They learned skills which will help them excel on and off the court.
This is the 10th year North Carolina's Touchstone Energy cooperatives have sent boys to basketball camp at UNC and girls to basketball camp at North Carolina St. More than 50 kids statewide won scholarships to the two camps this summer.

1 August 2015
24th & Walnut Streets
Project update - June, 2015:
The Phillies Mural, a collaboration of the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and the Philadelphia Phillies, will be installed in summer 2015 and a public dedication will be celebrated on August 1 at 11:00am.
Phillies fans are known to be passionate and have faithfully supported their team throughout its 128 year history. Their recent successes have ignited the region and the team has never been more popular or closely followed. In celebration of the city's beloved team, Mural Arts is creating a mural that captures the passion of the fans and reflects how the Phillies have been tightly woven into the fabric of Philadelphia's culture and spirit.
The mural will be designed and painted by muralist, and lifetime Phillies fan, David McShane. The design will include players, stadiums, and events from the Phillies' record-long history as the oldest continuous one-name, one-city franchise in all of professional sports. It will highlight the team's two World Series victories in 1980 and 2008 and will feature hall-of-fame players, scenes from playoff runs, perfect games, and the Phillies mascot - the Phanatic.
The mural will be located along the Schuylkill River at 24th and Walnut Streets and will be visible to the thousands of pedestrians on the Walnut Street Bridge and the Schuylkill River Trail, as well as to motorists on the I-76 expressway who pass the location daily.
"The creation of a Phillies themed mural in such a fantastic Center City location will be a tremendous addition to the long list of spectacular murals that already exist throughout our great city," said Michael Harris, Phillies Marketing Manager. "We have the best and most loyal fans in all of sports and look forward to their involvement throughout the creation and production of the final mural."

Pioneering Techno Producer Develops Innovative New Mobile Phone App
Allows Fans An Unparalleled Degree Of Interaction At Live Shows
Pioneering DJ/producer Richie Hawtin has launched a revolutionary iPhone application Plastikman SYNK that will allow his fans to experience a unique integration of audio, visuals and interactive technology on his forthcoming Plastikman world tour.
Debuting at Time Warp festival in Mannheim, Germany on March 27, the show will continue through a total of 15 dates, and Hawtin has partnered with visual architects Derivative and visual designer Ali Demirel to create a completely immersive experience.
Conceptualized by Richie Hawtin and developed with Rob Fischer (http://hexler.net) and Bryan McDade (Minus), SYNK is the official companion iPhone/iPod Touch application of the 2010 Plastikman Live worldwide tour. SYNK users will participate in an experiment in audience-performer interaction aiming to blur the lines of perception and participation.
"It has always fascinated me how sound, lighting, visuals and human interactivity define and deepen a concert experience. By focusing on my own unique Plastikman sound I hope to find new freedom and explore the extremes of where these elements converge, challenging our senses, stimulating our memories, and creating an experience of physical and mental intensity that can be only Plastikman." – Richie Hawtin
Live performance interaction components include:
Based upon earlier "Lodgikal Nonsense" and "Vokx" voice tracks, this state invites the audience to re-organize the word samples using a user interface of 20 touch buttons. In this state the centre of performance control is moved from the stage and into the audience.
This state is accessible throughout the show and gives users a live video stream of an internal perspective of the performance.
This state explores the synkronicity of realtime-generated percussion patterns and their visual counterparts, integrating the stage LED wall and the built in displays on each SYNK activated iPhone/iPod Touch.
This state is active during the entire show with realtime performance information. At specific moments an extended Konsole state becomes activated, allowing further insight into the realtime programming of the performance's drum and percussive elements, while also providing visual feedback of musical and effect parameters. A simplified remote Konsole is available to all SYNK users worldwide and will be activated during all Plastikman Live performances. Participants should connect to the Plastikman Wi-Fi network at each peformance and will be notified of the activation of the different states by their iPhone/iPod Touch at specific moments during the show.
The SYNK experience will not be limited to viewers of the live show. In between the performances the SYNK application will be in sleeper mode and function as a Plastikman atmospheric location shifter. By using visualizations inspired by Derivative, combined with the iPhone's built-in microphone and accelerometer, users are immersed in a Plastikman environment. For best results, please use headphones.
SYNK is available now in the iTunes App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/app/synk/id354695489
Compatible with iPhone or iPod touch, SYNK requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
A short teaser video of the first Plastikman Live technical rehearsal in Mannheim is available to view here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AkJEOsDyV0
Also check out www.plastikman.com for photos of the rehearsal, more information about the visuals contest with Derivative, the iPhone/iPod Touch SYNK application, and continuing updates of the tour schedule.

Read Poems by
Cortney Bartholomew
the strong suit in this voice carries a tune,
echoes emphasized fills up the room,
speak to me...please,,in love and emotion,
but then the vibration would be shortened, and quickly forgotten in motion,
remembrance can come and be forgotten so quickly,
chords and tunes held in voice, memorized emotions spoke freely,
pouring out in prayer while singing in song,
holds onto those words and in love they last long,
they say, "its not over until the fat lady sings",
it's not said "it's all over until the fat lady speaks."

The perks and pitfalls of rising rates
September 18, 2013
Though the financial markets are wary of a rise in interest rates, higher rates now seem inevitable. Still, it's important to remember that higher interest rates aren't all bad. For every negative aspect of higher rates, there is also something to be said in their favor.
The end of ultra-low rates?
There are a couple of reasons higher rates now seem on the horizon. First, history suggests that current rate levels are highly unusual. On the short end of the rate spectrum, one-year Treasury securities are currently yielding about 0.13 percent, compared to a long-term average of 5.19 percent. They've now been yielding less than 1 percent for 57 straight months. In the 60 years of history available from the Federal Reserve, one-year Treasury yields had previously been at less than 1 percent for just five months back in 1954.
Further out on the yield curve, 10-year Treasury securities tell a similar story. They are currently yielding 2.74 percent, compared to a long-term average of 6.12 percent. These bonds have been yielding less than 3 percent for 25 straight months now, and also spent part of 2008, 2009 and 2010 at less than 3 percent. Prior to that, you would have to go back to 1958 to find 10-year Treasury yields at less than 3 percent.
Besides the fact that today's low rates are such historical outliers, the second reason that higher rates seem inevitable is that rates are so low today largely because of extraordinary intervention by the Federal Reserve. It's safe to assume that this intervention can't go on forever, so eventually rates will be allowed to rise to more normal levels.
While the prospect of higher rates makes the financial markets nervous, it's important to remember that rising interest rates have upsides in addition to their downsides. Here are some of the good vs. bad contrasts that surround higher rates.
Income generation vs. stunted wealth creation
Lower interest rates have contributed to asset appreciation in the stock market and real estate, adding to the wealth of millions of Americans. However, the problem is that wealth today doesn't generate much income, with savings account rates near zero and bond yields not much higher. At 5 percent savings account rates, a million dollars would generate $50,000 a year in income. At a 0.10 percent savings account rate, it would take $50 million to generate the same amount of income.
So, while higher rates might stunt wealth creation, they would make it possible to generate much more income with savings.
Growth vs. inflation
Rates are likely to rise in response to one or both of these two factors: stronger growth or higher inflation. Obviously, the good scenario here is higher rates driven by stronger growth, because this would boost corporate earnings and personal income. It's only if higher rates come from rising inflation that there would be no benefit to offset the cost of higher rates.
Cheap credit vs. easy credit
Recent years have seen some of the lowest mortgage rates in history. The rub is that it has been tough to qualify for a mortgage with anything less than perfect credit. Higher rates might be more expensive, but they would give banks more of an incentive to lend money, so credit terms might get easier.
In short, for all the concern about higher interest rates, if a return to more normal rates heralds a return to a more normal economy, there will be plenty of good to offset the bad.

Food theme for a Book Club meeting
I am hosting our Book Club's next meeting. Our book is "Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls. Any suggestions as to what I can serve food-wise? Wine is always a staple at our gatherings :) and appropriate in this case, as the author reminds everyone to "stop whining." Just curious as to ideas about a fun thing to serve from those who have read the book.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

How often do I put it on?
Thanks guys!

Fire Engulfs London 2012 Olympic Site
Where: London, United Kingdom
November 12, 2007 at 9:20 AM | by markj | Comment (1)
A black plume of smoke is covering London today, as an east London warehouse on the 2012 Olympic site burned. The blaze broke out in the industrial area of Stratford on the construction site for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
No one has been reported hurt, and one railyway line has been closed because of the blaze. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, as is the extent of the damage to the 2012 Olympic site.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 9 is over, but that doesn't mean that the drama is…
After being called "Kentucky Fried Titties" by co-star Tamra Judge, Lizzie decided to write an inspiring blog in which she opens up about growing up with body issues and also reflects on female bullying.
Lizzie received a lot of support from viewers of the show after the blog was published but it seems that co-star Tamra failed to see her point.
In her most recent blog, Tamra wrote;
"I read her blogs and I had to laugh. Now I am a bully. . .good lord! she is talking about how she was bullied for her big breast and how rude it was of me to make fun of her. Yes, I said that out of anger after what you said about Eddie and I am sorry if it hurt you feelings. But what makes me laugh is that she told me at Shannon's holiday party and admitted to Andy at the Reunion that she has 300CC breast implants. So if you are so self conscious of your big breast and mentally damaged about being bullied why would you make your breast bigger? Another one of her contradictions and cries for attention!"
Obviously, Lizzie was not happy with Tamra's latest attack and took to her Facebook page to call her out, she wrote;
"I have been very open about my body. I have absolutely nothing to hide. The picture on the left is me at 23 and the picture on the right is me at 29 on my honeymoon (the month I got pregnant-after my 2nd breast reduction). On my 2nd breast reduction my doctor removed around 400cc of my natural breast tissue and added a small implant 250cc (which translates to a B cup) under my breast muscle to save my breasts when I have children. My doctor knew I wanted several kids and because I had so much breast tissue, having kids could potentially destroy my breasts. If anyone can tell, my boobs are DD if not bigger now, after kids. After the surgery my breasts were 50% natural breast tissue with a small implant. If you see on the right they were just the right size and I was so happy. After having kids my boobs are back in full swing over 75% is ALL me. There is a small implant under the muscle that has in fact saved my boobs and I thank my doctor. I can't imagine what I would be dealing with if I didn't have the second surgery and I want more kids. I did explain this in detail at reunion and how sad Tamra, adding insult to injury, would create a ridiculous story out of it. She obviously lacks the compassion or hearing skills to understand the procedure. Yes, Tamra, you are a bully. I will say it all day long. It doesn't matter if a woman has big boobs, small boobs, big butt, super skinny, over weight, short, tall, long legs, or stumpy legs a woman's body is her body and another woman should not be making fun of it or tearing them a part regardless of any way you look. I am 34 now and after having 2 kids I love my body. My husband loves my body and I can wear a sexy dress if I want too. I have struggled with my boobs my whole life. I'm not mentally "deranged" (as you put it) it was a life obstacle that I shared with the world because women should not tear other women down regarding our bodies no matter what shape or size we are. Does it make it ok that you made fun of Alexis and called her Jesus Jugs because she had implants? Heck no, makes you look jealous and mean.
I know many of you don't think I need to explain myself at all, but a LIAR, I am not. I have no receive to deceive and of you."
Nice to see Lizzie setting the record straight in a classy way instead of resorting to below the belt attacks.
What do you think about the latest drama?

Nuclear War and Mass Destruction in Judaism
Judaism prohibits military action that will result in a colossal number of casualties.
By Rabbi Michael Broyde
We Also Recommend
Excerpted and reprinted with permission from "Fighting the War and the Peace: Battlefield Ethics, Peace Talks, Treaties, and Pacifism in the Jewish Tradition," originally published on jlaw.com.
The use of nuclear weapons as a weapon of mass destruction is very problematic in Jewish law. In a situation of Mutually Assured Destruction [i.e., one in which a country with nuclear capabilities would retaliate to a nuclear attack with a nuclear attack of its own], it is clear that the Jewish tradition would prohibit the actual use of such weapons if such weapons were to cause the large scale destruction of human life on the earth as it currently exists.
The Talmud (Shavuot 35b) explicitly prohibits the waging of war in a situation where the casualty rate exceeds a sixth of the population. Lord [Immanuel] Jakobovits [the former Chief Rabbi of Great Britain], in an article written more than 30 years ago, summarized the Jewish law on this topic in his eloquent manner:
In view of this vital limitation of the law of self-defense, it would appear that a defensive war likely to endanger the survival of the attacking and the defending nations alike, if not indeed the entire human race, can never be justified. On this assumption, then, that the choice posed by a threatened nuclear attack would be either complete destruction or surrender, only the second may be morally vindicated.
However, one caveat is needed: It is permissible to threaten to adopt a military strategy that it is in fact prohibited to use, in order to deter a war. While one injustice cannot ever justify another injustice, sometimes threatening to do a wrong can prevent the initial wrong from occurring.
Just because one cannot pull the nuclear trigger does not mean one cannot own a nuclear gun. It is important to understand the logical syllogism that permits this conduct. It is prohibited — because of the prohibition to lie — to threaten to use a weapon that is prohibited to actually use. However, it can be clearly demonstrated that lying to save the life of an innocent person is permissible. Thus, this lie becomes legally justifiable to save one's own life too.
