strawberry mint sorbet

A lot has gone on while I’ve been away from the blog. Got a year older in April (and hopefully wiser), made new friends, got together with old ones. Little festivals here and there, friends graduated, birthday dinners, life just happened :) . Power outage for a couple of days in a triple digit heat wave wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. Boy,was it hot !! Living on the top floor with no air brings a new meaning to ‘oven’. Sweating buckets while trying to figure out what was still good in the fridge was fun exciting. However, there’s always a silver lining to everything or has other call it, a reason for everything. I met this wonderful family from France, The Nivauxs’. They travel across world taking pictures. The interesting way they do this is with a scanner. Additionally, they ship their truck to all the continents they go. It was such a treat, to meet people who view the world from another perspective.

For those who don’t the snow,don’t shoot me. But what’s the point of winter without a few snow covered days. Let’s not forget snowscapes to be had as well. The images of tree line at Loch Raven Reservoir laden with snow with lake frozen in the foreground.Maybe we’ll be lucky before Punxsutawney Phil decides how much longer we have. For my friends in Europe, sorry for the snow blast you guys had and you are welcome to send some this way.

Crispy juicy delight: Ginger-tarragon roasted chicken

January 31, 2012

Its been an eventful January. I went to California to see my long lost cousins. Ok, maybe not lost, but I had not seen them in over 15 years so it felt like it. I had so much fun that California now seems like a possible destination to move to, who knows. I went snowboarding [...]

.. and there was this tart.

November 16, 2011

The tart was soooo good, there was a rave going on in my mouth all through the meal. If you live in Baltimore and haven’t been to Clementines, you should slap yourself silly and schedule a visit. The food there never dissapoints and they make their own sausages, smoked salmon and pickles. The pickles really [...]

It isn’t so much what’s on the table that matters, as what’s on the chairs. ~ W. S. Gilbert We get caught up in the daily workings of the corporate machinery. We often forget and go on long spells without sitting with friends and loved ones for a home cooked meal and quality time. Are [...]

A summery restart- Sausage and shrimp pasta in lemon-thyme sauce

June 18, 2011

When someone tells you that doing a dissertation takes over you life, believe them. The last few months sucked everything out of me. All kinds of emotions were brought forth. Hopelessness, Awe, Anger, Frustration, and Elation. I was in a complicated relationship with it as PhDComics will say Jumping through hoops and performing tricks was the [...]
