Do you love crazy scary rides?
We were in Disney for the weekend.
We ate Churros, Mickey Ice creams, cheesy pasta, frozen lemonade and a lot in between. I am not even making up what I ate, it was a little too much. I feel stuffed and not so a little guilty to have eaten my way to happiness. Now, I fear the scale. Why am I only talking about food, we were in Disney right???…

She was the lady who carried a cane basket filled with different fresh greens. She came every morning door to door to sell greens. A simple yet strong woman. I fell in love with her(my keerai lady/greens lady). Why, you might ask?
Her husband abandoned her. She adopted a little girl at 2 months and she started living for the little one. She sold greens in the mornings and did household chores in the afternoon for a living.

Cocoa, chocolate chips, chocolate covered almonds and coffee beans. Cookies.
We adore them. It’s the BEST!- I’ve heard( not too humble huh..). I can’t restrict myself in calling them the best.
If there’s one thing kids ask(almost demand) when they come to our place, are these cookies. Now coming to think of it, I’m not too sure it’s just them asking or one chocoholic teen who makes them ask…

Do you have a green thumb??
If you do, I admire you and if you don’t I’m secretly happy;). I hear about homegrown tomatoes, chilies and fruits being so tasty and my friend even grows sugar cane, CRAZY…Why does it come so easy to some and here I am with a single leaf Banana tree which has been alive for 4 years with only couple of leaves present all the time. I water it, ummm, maybe not all the time..But it hasn’t dried up on me yet, that’s the bright side.

Harvard takes perfectly good plums as students, and turns them into prunes – Frank Lloyd Wright
I was 7, I think. It was 19XX coughs ;)..
During vacations, my grandma whom I fondly called ‘Amma’ and the little me, each carrying a wire grocery bag walked hand in hand to our local fruit market. Just the BAG, brings back nostalgic memories.

What came first the chicken or the EGG?
Summer for me is the time to laze around, sleep crazy hours and the time to socialize. My foodie friend and I have been planning a meetup for a while now.
The day came, and I was excited to have her home for coffee. I made these Peruvian inspired yucca fritters for her. Coffee was set in my small and cozy backyard. Got ready in my butterfly summer outfit, pinning my hair up and in summer sandals, was ready for some girly couple of hours.

Here’s the thing about love.
The love I’m talking about is unconditional, just give with open arms, lotsa hugs, kisses and tears kinda love. No, it’s not the crazy giddy love with butterflies buzzing, where you wait to fall on your face one day but it’s the ‘MY HEART belongs to this thing in my arms LOVE’.
My baby is a officially a teen. How appropriate is this dessert which epitomizes him in every way and the cherries on top are there just because.

Life is not worth living if I cannot have pasta or bread again-Monica Seles
The day starts off bright and promising.
After a month of being without a/c, yesterday the heavens opened and we feel cold, thanks to my new friend who fixed it.
Filled my elephant mug with strong hot coffee(which was a pure torture last couple of weeks). I sat by the window, slowly sipping away jotted my plans for the day. Little did I know then that plans work a bit differently every time.
