Crispy Snapper with Garlic Caper Aioli
We visited Portugal a few times. It wasn’t just history that soaked us. The simplicity of their food bowled us over. And yummm…so so flavorful. Especially the grilled fish. I have been trying various grilled fish recipes lately. This is one of them. (The image is not the ideal, but that’s all I could get before it was devoured. I realised real time food blogging with a home full of hungry men…

Brown butter with habanero and caramalized lemon
Recently, I read about an Italian lady working to recreate recipes from her great great great grandmother’s diary. It was written in Alsatian (I never even knew that was a language, I thought it meant dogs, or GSDs in other words, but that is story for another time) sometime in the 1800s. Last year, we went to a beautiful town in Portugal called Tomar during a guided tour for Knights Templar. The…

Mutton do payaza
Have you watched the series Queen’s Gambit on Netflix? If you haven’t, please watch it. This series packs so much into it, and yet it’s possibly the most grounded show that I have ever watched. There are no real heroes or villains, just flawed human beings, some of whom rise to the occasion while others lose to the baser side of the their soul. The child chess prodigy, who has so much to live…

Roasted Carrots
Carrots are vegetables that are not easily consumed in my house. Thinking of ways to incorporate them in our menu has been a challenge of considerable proportion. This is possibly one recipe with which the poor carrots pass the tastebud test it’s put through. Simple and easy, who am I to complain. Roasted Carrots Recipe Type: Sides Cuisine: American Author: Minnie Prep time: 10 mins Cook…

Homemade BBQ sauce
Some days, you are struck with light bulb moments. There is this rush of ‘I know what to do’ kind of a feeling, and you seem to get empowered by an unseen force to make it happen.
My younger son loves BBQ sauces. He loves them on chicken, fish, and pizza. Especially pizza. So when I started to make ribs and realized I am out of BBQ sauce, and had little energy to get dressed to go buy a bottle…

Taking the Family Camping? 5 Rules to Follow
Fall is a beautiful time of year. The leaves are changing colors, the air is crisp without being too cold, and it’s the final days of the year to enjoy being outdoors before winter sets in. It’s a great time to take the family into the mountains or out to the forest for a fun weekend of camping. But before you pack up the car and leave, it’s a good idea to keep a few things in mind.

A Good Mattress is Crucial for Good Health
A Good Mattress is Crucial for Good Health
Last year, right before my surgery, when I was in a lot of pain, I changed my beds every night, hoping that maybe a change of bed might give me some relief from the searing, unending pain. To be honest, the mattress in my guest bedroom gave me a lot of relief. We had invested in a great mattress couple of years earlier for our master bedroom, and while that was pretty good, pain drove me to…

The Importance of Saving and Creating an Emergency Fund
Recently I was talking to my portfolio manager and she started giving me some really cool common sense tips about how to save. I was feeling a bit under the weather, as a recent IPO that I had invested in crashed.
It was then she told me that far too many people live from one paycheck to the next, having just enough money to manage their…

Keeping Your Summer Vacation Home Safe When You’re Not There
Our remote alarm went off, we were taken aback. We were sitting some 10,000 miles away from our home, soaking the incessant sun of Vienna.
We immediately contacted our neighbor, she went in, checked. Everything was fine.
The joys of summer include spending time with your family and friends at the lake enjoying sports and other activities or in the mountains relaxing and enjoying the view. If…

The incredible view of Lago Braccianno from the palace
As we trudged through magnificent palaces and gardens, pondered over ancient ruins and gazed in awe at the pain people have taken through centuries to preserve their history, and in some cases, folk lore, we were slowed down by a gentleman who was less enchanted by the history around him and more in trying to figure out how to capture that…

Off the beaten track in Rome- Bracciano, Italy
The story goes that she invited lovers to her chamber deep into the night, and then sent them on their way through a secret passage that led to a trap door. The unaware suitors then plunged to their death into a well filled with blades, never to be seen or heard again.
Them she was caught and supposedly put to death.
Sounds gruesome right?
Turns out none of this was true. The alleged ‘blade’…

Orange Crush – the sun in a cup
By nature, I am not an early riser, neither is my husband. On the other hand, my Father in law can rise really early, especially if we have to go for sight seeing. Whenever we go out as a family, it’s a constant source of battle. Our idea of travel is lots of food, sleep,repeat. His idea of vacation is, of course, cramming in as many places of tourist attractions as possible. As the old saying…

Lately, I have been enthralled with two blogs. Partly because I have been experimenting with different ways tp present the same ingredients to satiate the increasingly diverse palate of my foodie family, and partly because I am amazed at the efficiency of ingredients, presentation and beauty they bring to their food.
Their dishes have inspired me to be a bit more adventurous and try out sauces…
