Kale it

It is so convenient to have finely chopped Kale in the fridge. I added it to the upma and replaced it for the green of the peas that I usually add. I even used it in the sphagetti pasta with cream of mushroom soup and green beans in it.

Whichwich

Whichwich We have been meaning to go there for a while. With Carters just next to it, it was a double whammy. Have you noticed that sometime syou go to the old bank or store even though there's a one in the neighborhood that you moved to like zillion of years ago. You order on these sheets. Its like you are taking a multiple choice exam and you need to sit down to ace the test. But imagine if not that, how much the line would be hoarded. I was happy that it didnt have the Subway smell of condiments but it had the fried smell of oil. We ordered a kind of each Sriracha Tuna, bowlwich, whichwich. The Chicken Pesto Bowl had the sauce well married with the greens. I like knowing about the equipmnt being used.  Telequip  for coin dispensing,  Radiant systems  for placing order. Eating places have their music. Thank you Shazaam. They played  The Waifs Lighthouse

Salted Caramel Biscotti

There is over powering chocolate and caramel, I welcome the replacement of caramel in place of nuts for a change.

New dishes and side sides

It is always fun to know about new dishes.  dappalam These chips too are made of the same bitter melon. Its fun to know new ways of adding zing to the appetisers with green chili chutney like the one from Dal biji  with cantaloupe and musk melon seeds. Chicken Dosakaya

Sweetie Pie Organics Tiny Wafers Snack for Toddler & Baby, Carrot

Sweetie Pie Organics Tiny Wafers Snack for Toddler & Baby, Carrot has a great crunchy, chip taste like that of thinly sliced, fried banana chips. Because of the sharp edges, I would wait as long as possible before feeding them to a 1 yr old. It does come with the instruction that the toddler should sit upright. A softer version would be welcome.

Happy New Year 2016 with Ragi Carrot and Nut Cake

Ragi Carrot and nut cake I looked once or twice to make  Cardamom Cream Cake  but because of the many steps, I passed it. When Ragi Carrot and Nut Cake came across, I looked at few ingredients and thought it might be fine. My sister likes fruit and nut cake around this time, so i thought it might be fit in well. I had just looked at  Ragi dark chocolate cake  but it just used 1/2 cup flour and this one was more than 2 cups flour. So I went ahead with it, I thought it a good time to use  Panela .
