An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wow, we stepped into April and are technically in spring! While everyone I heard and read from India has been complaining about the scorching summer temperatures, it seems we haven’t had enough of the wintery days here! We aren’t done yet. It had drizzled irksomely all of yesterday and its […]
