Stake ’em With Steak!

Hot summers sometimes bother me. Feelings of boredom mingled with laziness and the desire to eat something splendidly scrumptious yet seemingly simple overtake my clan. These feelings are so intense and so demanding that they are set to – Otomahuk my utopian disposition of calm composure. The result is the invariable march to the kitchen – apron on, freezer drawn and cooking begun! Don’t mind […]

It’s No Secret..

Murmuring a laconic ‘Thanks!,’ into thin air for the solitude that I finally acquired, I proceed to put my feet up on the opposite chair in the Fellowship Hall, this Tuesday evening. The sweet voices and instrumental music of the Praise Team practicing for this Sunday’s service can be heard in the background. I can’t help interject here that, to my unabashedly biased ears, the […]

The Lamb and His Love!

“In the beginning..” It began as a narration. A chronological account of the wonder of creation. What happened when and how. The how was so simple..unlike the innumerable, incomprehensible, yet over emphasized theories of the origin of Universe, which involve fancy words like ‘singularities’ and words depicting destruction, like, ‘collision’ and ‘explosion’ “In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth.” ~Genesis 1:1 How, […]

Great Gobble Guaranteed

“And that has made all the difference!” exasperates Frost, with a remorse that is so much relatable – especially to an over-thinker like me! And that would be my statement when I come to think about my turkey-cooking shenanigans this year. Even while fearing the accusation of facetiousness for applying the profound meaning of a dear poem to the making of a turkey, let me […]

Cold Coffee and Kababs

There are somethings that evoke a sense of satisfaction even when you just think about them. Things, that produce paramount effects, with minimal effort. Cold coffee and Kababs belong to the category of those things. There is a Starbucks at a stone’s throw from Shalom’s Piano Studio. Walking over and grabbing a Caramel Frappe is a untold tradition of my boys. The beam in their […]

Lamb Pulav Please!

One of those Saturday evenings, when you would like to eat something delicious but the two hour nap and an hour and half movie, along with the inherent laziness that shows up every weekend, thwart all your elaborate weekend plans. At barely a hour before we surpass a decent dinner time, I scurried into the kitchen to whip up an easy, yet, weekend-worthy one pot […]

Say ‘hello’ to Abalone

You may relate. You do a thing well knowing that you will later regret it. Sending my husband to Costco is one such thing. And I did that thing this week. And that’s when we said ‘hello’ to Abalone! Once I spotted these little sea bombs in the giant cardboard box of grocery items, ( 75% of which were not in my list, just to […]

For the love of rice..

When marinated meat meets the sizzling pot, generously slathered with earthy, aromatic ghee, it is an indication for my family to get ready for the battle. Digging your fingers into the juicy, unctuous meat, scooping up the rice and a slice or two of lemon-dunked onion and hastily sending it to your mouth — an inevitable, messy journey which owes no apologies!
