If an apple a day keeps a doctor away, I guess I am all sorted for four days in a row now. So I guess, I can survive for half a week without any illnesses… hopefully!

27 and Counting!!
Not a very appetizing shot I realize, but that is the best I could manage to get of the birthday cake before it was demolished and subsequently wolfed down. I turn 27 today, and I guess this the a good time to think back and thank all the people who helped me make it this…
Season With Sauce
What I like about sauces is that they let you add flavour to your food, and not just season it. You can make your food spicy, tangy, sweet, bitter or sour just as your taste buds like it, and yet share food with everyone else with the family!

Fields of Gold
Bhutta’s or Maize (or corn as it is also known), tastes best when roast on a beds of coals. While the one with yellow kernels is sweet, while I prefer the tasteless white pearly ones better. And having a well roasted corn with lemon, salt and spice seasoning while strolling on the beach feels like…
