Suddenly for some wierd reason my TFS stopped responding. I didnt realise it till when mstest.exe threw a File not found error. it was totally a redundent error because all the path i provided were validated. i had no clue what path it was refering to. After spending some good 30 mins with no luck, i clicked the team explorer shortcut and got a wierd message box which read
---------------------------Microsoft Visual Studio---------------------------Package Load Failure
Package 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.ServicesHostPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.TeamExplorer, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {8E01EC3E-2928-4AA5-B720-E28C163818E6} ). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.---------------------------Yes No ---------------------------
Unfortunately i hit no without reading this. So it disabled the package totally! i wasnt able to load it again.
Happend to read this blog about resetting the user data

I was able to reset the TFS environment and able to repro the issue. Now am waiting for technical assistance to resolve the issue!
what a way to start the day...

Carrot Halwa for bachelors
Today i tried to do carrot halwa. this is the recipe i followed:
1. Take some carrot, skin the outer layer and grate it finely.
2. Heat the thawa, add some oil/ghee and kindof fry the carrot so that the carrot doesnt smell the way it used to. My mom used to call it as "Pacchai" smell but god knows what that is!
3. Once that so called smell is gone, add sufficient milk and sugar and let the carrot boil in milk. add some resins as well. Keep the heat in medium so that the milk doesnt get burnt.
4. This is not a complex process - dont worry about the milk quantity or sugar quantity. just keep tasting it during the process and add as needed. Note: Do not add too much in the begining and end up taking the milk away later! better add in small quantities - show it you are the boss.
5. Keep heating it for a while till the carrot is boiled and the milk is dried. Adding some ghee during this process will help the milk to thicken quickly.
6. Take some bhadam and cashew, cut them into small pieces and add it along with some cardamom powder
you have yourself a good carrot halwa.
PS: if it doenst come good, dont worry too much. give it to your friends and get yourself a good halwa in shop :)
