Aside from the usual seeing of the friends and family, there was the small matter of ...the berries. Let me explain.Every time I'd go to the supermarket at home in Singapore and see little punnets (are they called that because they are so puny?) of berries selling for around $8.00 it would make me feelSefalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616996371737754913noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75831046447900329.post-43062350820474142272008-07-08T17:13:00.000-07:002008-07-09T18:09:25.360-07:00Culinary eye candy Like many people who love to bake, I am happy to have any excuse to turn on the oven and stir up something new. My bookshelves are groaning with the weight of new cookbooks. My folders bursting with Must-Make-Soon recipes. My laptop which has a document folder, with a recipes sub folder and then 20 or more sub folders under that. Chocolate gets its own folder. Of course.So am I waiting around Sefalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616996371737754913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75831046447900329.post-56699866231160919302008-07-08T07:37:00.000-07:002008-08-08T17:11:47.533-07:00All about the CarrotSometimes all you need is a lil cake for two. The occasion was my husband's birthday. He is especially fond of carrot cake. So while the rest of the year I experiment away with chocolate and citrus and spices and nuts, for his birthday I let it be all about the carrot. Truth be told, I'd never baked one before we got married, but since then, I have made a number of different versions.There was Sefalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616996371737754913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75831046447900329.post-77698498418499675432008-06-30T18:54:00.000-07:002008-07-08T17:09:15.843-07:00So where did all this start?It may have had something to do with my mom. She grew up in India and was at ease cooking for a huge family which included six sisters and three brother since the age of 12. Now how on earth did she manage that?! Food, great spicy food, food that makes grown men groan with appreciation, that was what I grew up with. I can imagine the effortless way in which my mom made meals come together, never Sefalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616996371737754913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75831046447900329.post-39864334924713122882008-06-28T22:22:00.000-07:002008-07-02T06:51:44.848-07:00Learning how to blog...Yesterday I mentioned to my husband wistfully that I wish I knew how to blog. I'm thinking that maybe I needed to take a community center course, or invite Gavin, our friendly PC repair guy for a couple tutorials, or well...? learn HTML? Would I have to learn that??!! In my head it was this big endeavor that i thought would take weeks - if not months!Yet, here we are. Turns out that all was not Sefalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616996371737754913noreply@blogger.com0
