An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
My New England Lobster Roll has quite a story… Two winters back, we had S’s friend visiting a city around here for business. He and S have been close buddies, but hadn’t seen each other since 7 years. So, we all planned and set out to meet him on a […]
If you’re a Gen Z mom, you would surely know of “Krabby Patties”…he oh-so-famous patty with a secret ingredient at Krusty Crab’s in Bikini Bottoms. They’re fried good by SpongeBob Squarepants, using his *Spat* spatula. All money collected from the sold Krabby Patty hamburgers goes to the ever-so-greedy Mr. Krabs, […]
Ma never made crabs at home. No seafood particularly amused her as much as fish did. There are some rather crazy family tales on her love for fish — which I’ll keep for another day, another post. Also, during childhood, I don’t remember if we ever ordered a crab while […]
There’s always, always, always something to be thankful for. And when it comes to an odd-hour craving, or a starving foodie at home, I thank Mr. Bob Cobb — the man who, got kissed by serendipity, and gave us one of the most legendary salads in America’s culinary history. Story goes that […]
We bunch of four, adore guacamole. Be it for everyday or for parties at ours or theirs…it’s been made and consumed too many times over at our household. Then there are the standard chopped avocados that slyly find their ways into the salads and as sides. Avocado sandwiches? Done! I’ve also used […]
I’m an ordinary human that can only remember and pronounce ordinary names. Confused, huh? Well, it’s kind of funny, but I am bad with most fancy foods that sound even remotely complicated. I either don’t remember them or tend to mispronounce. That’s precisely what happened when I first heard of shrimp […]
It was a gorgeous afternoon, little more than a dozen months back. There was a subtle note of crispiness in the air that day. The deciduous conifers hadn’t taken on the nature’s autumn palette by then. Not completely. The fall had almost just picked up a paint brush and started […]
Every evening, since the last couple days, on her way back home from school, big-J would tell me “Mumma, please don’t open my bag pack or look into my folder. There’s something in there that’s a surprise and I don’t want you to see. Actually you are not supposed to […]
Past week was fairly busy. S was travelling for business the entire week. As for me, it was more than usual work, errands, an injured right hand and two little bundles of energies to care for. The days all rolled by one after another in a jiffy. And Friday came […]
What do you do with a 4 pounds box of plums? Plums that hadn’t caught your family’s fantasy in a fruit bowl on the dining table? I got one box full from Costco last week and was struck with the 21 deep red lustrous stone fruits in it. One was […]
