This little girlie is Mohini. Her name originates from India, and it means 'Most Beautiful' in Hindi... which I think describes her perfectly. She looks like an Indian palace, to me. Her colors are beautiful, rich, and full. The name dates far back, of course, like most Hindi names.

Her favorite food? She has a lot. But her number one choice over any other is 'Gulab Jamun,' also known as Lal Mohan, Kala jam, or waffle ball. It's a sort of Indian donut, really... It's cheese based, lots of dairy products go into it. You roll the dough into small balls, like in the picture above, and fry them. After they are fried, you soak them in sugary syrup, (which Mohini loves to drink, as well!!!) which is often flavored with saffron, rosewater, and more. I admit, I've tried them as well, and they are simply divine. When she eats them, she is reminded of her time spent in India... oh, did I not tell you? Mohini was born and raised in India, but moved to America, after she was old enough to be on her own. She particularly enjoys putting the syrup in a teacup, and dipping her Gulab Jamun inside of it.
