I have not put our Christmas tree this year, Normally the tree is up and decorated the next day after Sinterklass feest on December 6th.But this year as Mom is not there anymore, one doesn’t feel like doing all this, last weekend when Shyama came home she asked hmmmmmmmm were is the christmas tree and I was like well I didn’t had time to do it.Didn’t make a cake too this year like earlier

I wanted to make a Ginger Bread House from the time Shyama gave me the cutter last New year as a present. But as you all know it is decorated with so much sugar and sweets that i would be a bit too much for just us.So I asked Shyama if I make one would you take to her place so that she can share with all ther friends from her group. But then she remarked I do agree to her, that it would be too

I am sure most of you have not heard about Sinterklaas Feest or the Zwart PietI am surprised that I haven’t written here about this famous feest in my blog, as I remeber from the time Shyama was born we celebrate this special day  every year.
Ofcourse it was more fun till she was 9 yrs ( by the time she found out her parents are Sinterklass and Zwart piet)From the age of 2 every evening on

Few years back we went for holiday in Egypt for a month. It was Shyama’s and my first trip to the country so we both were really excited. Hans though has been there 5 times and it was his 6 th trip with us, so it was like having our personal guide with us.The only hotel we had booked was in Cairo and then we said we will decide how many days we will stay in cairo and then from there we will book

Hi hi actually in the magazine it is written in English and Italian but I coudn’t resist to write the title in Italian well it means according the magazine, Marsala Chicken with pine nuts and sultanas.
Marsala is a winein the region surrounding the Italian city of Marsala in Sicily.While the city’s natives sometimes drink "vintage" Marsala, the wine produced for export is universally a

Here Hans and Shyama love this soup, just make this for them and they are really happy.Especially on winter, but I must admit I make this other seasons too as they will be going on asking me when am I going to make pea soup.
Actually I don’t remember whenI made this soup, and latley I have not been baking so much or cooking something new, that I have been taking from my file pictures to post

Mostly I forget to join in Black & White Wednesday and I only remember when I see the beautiful pictures from my blog friends and then I am like that I forgot again.I would have forgotten again but then with the time difference with us and India, I saw this one in Siri’s place yesterday evening and then I said oh yeah I should join up this week.So as you can see here I am with my B&W

I think soon my blog is going to be over flowing with soups, here the weather has really truned cold, today it was 2°C which is so cold that I am happy to stay inside home if I don’t have to go out, which is what I did anyway today, Hans came back home saying it is so cold, his face was even reddish.
Summer or Winter we have a cup of soup for lunch before the main dish. That is a must for Hans,

It has been a very busy week, and health wise not good too.Have been having such a severe Migraine, I think I have taken so much pills in this last week and on top of it, had a Memorial Concert here for WW1 so feeling good or not had to be busy for that.Must admit had bad days and good days.Have been trying to keep away from the computer, I don’t think that was possible as temptation to check

I know What you all are thinking, she is back again with her Macarons.The truth is I can keep off making them if I don’t make them for a while but then I start to make them I am like crazy, I want to try with some other flavour soon. So this is something I made after a week of making this one.Ok I have to agree It was a expiriment, I wanted to have something boosey and fruity.So as I had fry

When I was living in Indian we never ever had soup, I think the first time I had soup was when I was a teenager and that too in Chinese Restaurant. And that time my favourite soup was Sweet Corn Soup, then later I jumped to Wonton Soup then I got married and came here and Hans loves soups.
Here we have a small bowl og soup every afternoon , if there is no soup I think I would go as fas as saying

I can’t believe I am sitting here infront of the computer and writting the Daring Bakers Post on the day itself.I was mumbling to hubby today morning , that I still have to write the post etc…. and he mumbled back now you know how things get pended to the last minute as I sometimes tell him why can’t you do the things which you have to do earlier than hurrying up int he last minute.

Last year when Shyama started her first year of college , I used to make this for her very often and give in a tupperware when seh went sunday evening to her place so she could have it there.

So every sunday morning Iwill be busy preparing some of the food she likes to take with her.
This dish is so easy that I think she got it almost every two weeks as I can make this in a flash.
I am sure I

I think if you are from Kerala and you love Chicken Curry I am pretty sure that you have had this kind of curry. As most of the home make some curry like this , ofcourse recipe might be a little different.Even if you think the ingridient list is long it is a pretty easy Curry to make.And personally I think the curry is much better the next day, just make sure you keep the curry in the fridge if

It is ages ago I made Macarons. There was a time when I used to make them so much that if Hans saw me in the kitchen making them he would cry out loud in despair not again thise over sweet things.I do agree Macarons are tad too sweet, but iI do think when they are filled they taste totally different even though they are sweet.I have to admit I almost have converted Hans to like them with my
