Jiggle Happy!
Today's post is prompted by a saying on a tee that one of the staff is wearing today at the place where I work for free and pay for over-priced coffee (ok, really wifi-priced coffee)
"Sorry, I am Different" it says.
So, I told her "Don't be!" and she laughed sheepishly. Why?!
I have always known I was different. I couldn't quite describe how or why but growing up in India, I just felt like deer caught in headlights all the time. ...
'Ramp'ing up to Spring
Ramps belong to the onion family and are native to North America. They are, perhaps, one of the few indigenous wild produce still preserved here. These wild leeks are delicate plants that add a robust flavor to dishes. Much like spring onions, the whole plant is edible with the leaves being milder in flavor than the bulb! Scones are a great way of enjoying the flavor. They make for a perfect snack or accompaniment to leisurely brunches.
Holy Sundays + Cherry Chocolate Cupcakes
I recently did a Perugina chocolate making class at Eataly in NYC and it was a lot of fun! I got to make my own bacis and also take away a really yummy chocolate olive oil cake that we frosted with cherry mascarpone frosting. I share some photos and recipes from that class here.
Also, I wanted to put forth an idea.. That of celebrating new beginnings each week and making every Sunday a holy one, in your own way...!

BIG ASS EGG SALADS
This is story of several meals that I typically eat when I am on my own. A good egg, a few other scraps of leaves and shavings and I am a happy girl. Mostly it is the egg.
So, after filling my Instagram feed with so many, many eggs, I felt obligated to share some nice photos here and a new version of cooking poached eggs that I picked up when in Ireland last December... I call it Eggs in a Pouch! :)
Gluten Free Olive and Roast Garlic Scones
Basically, this came about from a need to counter all the forms of sandwiches I was being assaulted with buttered and toasted bread! Doesn't the internet not know I can't have bread??!!
Anyway, So I obviously had to launch a counter attack and prove myself...well, to myself, I suppose. Here you have the happy endings of my retaliation! :)
