An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
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 […]
Mr. Hubbyman came home the night before…he was back from a week long business trip in Atlanta, Georgia. His two little miss loves had been missing him so bad that they almost sprang on him, on his way up the stairs to our door. Well, and his missus followed the […]
What a word “Teriyaki” is! It says a thousand things. Talk about this traditional Japanese style of cooking (that’s now adopted by America too!) and it would take you back in time…to 19th century Japan (source: Wiki), when they say they made the first Teriyaki. Though some food historians believe […]
August flew away in a snap! I was caught up neck deep in many things. Then towards the end, I realized I haven’t blogged enough about summer recipes. So, I wrote and shared half a dozen sweet treat recipes last month. Summer isn’t just about sweets. I agree. It is rather […]
About a little more than half way through this month, I had blogged about Frozen Yogurt covered Strawberry Popsicle. While I personally endorse feeding nutrition rich, low calorie, healthy whole foods to my kin, I observed and realized that like most kids, my little girl J resisted treats that were wholesome […]
Weekends are such spoilers! On the ones that don’t leave me with too much to-do’s, I love to laze around. And who on earth wouldn’t? After all, we work our rears-off the rest of the weekdays. With the kids on their vacation at Gramma’s for a couple weeks, I have had relaxed […]
While it’s Indian independence day eve here, my country of origin is already waking up to a beautiful morning in the other side of the world…to celebrate their 70th independence anniversary! Yes, I am emotional today. There’s a surge of emotions when I think about it. “Jana Gana Mana” has never failed […]
This isn’t a land of the best and sweetest mangoes. One I’d left behind half-globe across is! I haven’t liked the taste of the mango here, not even in the peak of it’s season. The non-Indian imported varieties here are rather tangy, very fibrous, without much juice and with a strange […]
As a child, when the clock would strike 5:30 pm on a weekday (then in India, Saturdays used to be a working day), my brother and I would temporarily cease doing whatever we were. We would park ourselves in the family living area on some pretext or the other and park […]
Come on summer, bring on your burning sun and the heat…your scorching, broiling days. It did pour a bit on July 4th, and we had to drive back home unhappy that night, without having seen the firework show at the famous USS Battleship, in Camden. But it is getting unbelievable […]
