An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
It isn’t fall yet…and here’s this chilly crisp note in the air already. We did have a well-behaved winter last time and the summer this year had been just too friendly. There were some rains shattering our weekend vacations goals intermittently, and yet, by far we were able to soak […]
It was my first baseball game…some good few years back. Big-J’s school was selling family tickets for the evening and we bought for us. Somerset Patriots versus Sugar Land Skeeters it was. I had never taken an interest in this game and didn’t know a thing about it. All my […]
I wasn’t quite in a salad-y mood that day. But then, it got me…just like that. And I am glad I gave in. I had bought 4 cans of handpicked pasteurized lump crab meat. With two, I made the delicious crab cakes. That reminds me…I need to make them again, […]
Maggi products have been my savior throughout. Or call it my Be it to curb those wicked hunger prangs middle of the night before examination days during school…or fast forward to one of the long tiring work days, when my mind and body refuses restaurant foods and lacks ability to […]
With only a few months of warm bright cheery sunshine to rejoice in a year, summers in this part of the world is all about vacations, barbecues, beaches, pool-side, outdoor sports, biking, hiking, camping, colorful flowers, chirpy birdies, fun, frolic, watermelons, picnics and about the red gingham’s. We love picnics. […]
Not all days smile back happily. And as a blogger, do I always need to write about good rosy pinky posts? Shouldn’t I be just as honest and confess that today isn’t as bright? Well, there isn’t any fleck less of the golden sunshine though. The Sun’s rather tearing through […]
My affair with the flaming hot Habaneros, began with Domino’s chicken wings drizzled with a sauce of our choice (no, this isn’t a paid post…I am only being honest with my story here!!). Since we aren’t the ranch or blue cheese on chicken wings people, and because S doesn’t prefer […]
The homemade peanut sauce served at a Thai-American fusion food restaurant in a neighboring town, has always enticed me. They serve it with anything and everything on their menu. Ask for more and the staff is kind enough to get you small bowls full. This eating place buzzes with people […]
Well, there isn’t a “story” in double quotes for this one here. It was rather a misadventure and a curious discovery. When I open Instagram and see some of those most sought after food blogs, I see microgreens everywhere. I wanted to buy some too, for experimental food styling and […]
Parboti Kakima was visiting her newly wedded son and daughter-in-law in Bangalore. This was many many many years back. Her son SG was (and still is) a very close friend of S, and our almost-always-happy next door neighbor. New bride MG had barely begun settling down with her new life, […]
