Carrots are vegetables that are not easily consumed in my house. Thinking of ways to incorporate them in our menu has been a challenge of considerable proportion. This is possibly one recipe with which the poor carrots pass the tastebud…
I find myself heading back to my website more and more now a days. I’ve been wondering why I don’t post more often. Is it because I always want to personalize each thing I post? Could be. I’ve realized that…
Have you watched the new Spider-man movie? It’s called Spider Man – Homecoming. It’s a fresh take on a very old story retold many times over in many different formats. For a change, the character is played by a…
We wanted to take my Mr L8H senior, my Father in law, somewhere special on his Birthday, and give him a different dining experience. We as a family love Sushi, but he does not want anything to do with raw…
Roasted peppers have a way to increase appetite. Something about the flavors, and the aroma sets those little critters in the tummy clamoring for sustenance, setting off a chain reaction of gurgling noises and overworked oesophagus trying to keep all…
I have just started Instagramming. For someone who is social media savvy, I am quite a slouch when it comes to using visual platforms. I’m learning. One of the pictures (the one above) that became an instant hit was a…

I had posted a picture on my FB page of my younger son having a sleepover birthday party a few years ago. Along with it, I had posted a comment on how it’s really simple to have the boys for…
I am not a very organized person. There, I said it. I find it hard to create a time table, and stick to it. Or even create a menu and stick to it. I also love to cook and…
I was at the coffee vending machine, filling my Styrofoam cup with aromatic coffee and a generous shot of half and half, when a gentleman right behind me exclaimed. ‘Did you take my cart?’ Startled, I looked back, just as…
I started cooking quail eggs a few years ago because for some reason those were the only eggs Junior would eat. He ‘hated’ eggs, but quail eggs, it seems, did not fall into that category. I didn’t mind, because…
A little while ago, when my parents were visiting, I had a get together at my home back in California where I invited a close group of friends. My parents were happy meeting everyone, and as it often happens,…
As winter sets in, having a plate full of aromatic dumplings straight from the steamer tastes like heaven. Right after the birth of my younger son, I ate Momos, lots of them. They were healthy, which meant as a…
