Greetings for the New Year!

by Sunita on 1, December 31, 2011

Hello everyone! I know I haven’t been very active over here for the last few months. But I definitely couldn’t end the year without saying hello to my dear readers. Without realising, I completed five years of blogging , earlier on in the month, and this could not have been possible without all of your support, so thank you.

The camera has been lying in the corner without its due attention, but my baking business has made sure that my oven is kept busy. I have always loved baking for friends and family, but to be entrusted with the honour of baking for somebody’s special occasion is indeed something else. So, this year has been really good, on the baking front. But it has also kept me very occupied, with little time for the blog.

A month ago, we moved into our new house, in a new place. It was a bitter-sweet change. Bitter, as we had to change our location, which meant uprooting the kids and ourselves from the familiar faces and environment into a new one. Sweet, because this has led to newer experiences, and the four of us now seem to have settled in well. It was really heartening when Agastya, who had been very much against the move, came out of his new school, at the end of his first day, and pronounced that it was better than he had expected. Both of them have made lots of new friends and things seem to be going well.

I wish to thank all those of you who have droppped by and left your kind messages. Sorry, if I have not been able to respond to all your querries with the regularity that I have always done. The days are flying by way too fast, and before I could get hold of one, the year is almost over.

Hope this year has been good for all of you, and I wish you all the happiness in the coming year. May all your dreams and aspirations find their way to fulfillment. And most important of all, may you be happy and contented. So, here’s to good health, good food  and good friends! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And of course, here’s a bit of cake to sweeten your new year!

We will be out soon, with this cake in tow, to usher in the new year with some dear friends.

Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and I will be back soon!

Nearly a month of summer holidays are over. As the days are passing by, it is beginning to feel less of a summer and more of an autumn. A few trees nearby have already started sheding their leaves and there is that unmistakable chill in the air. Just a couple of weeks more and Rengoni… [Read More...]

Hello everyone! Hope you are enjoying the long, lazy summer days.

I can see it, and most importantly, smell it. Yes, it's the box! As Dinesh hands it over to me, I take it out from the carrier bag and give it the place of pride on the kitchen counter. With anticipation, I lift the lid of the box and yes, there they are; nestled among… [Read More...]

The weather in our neck of the woods have been on an uphill and downhill curve; high temperatures coupled with hailstorms have managed to keep the temperatures at a sensible level.  Longer and brighter days add to the skip in the step. And I seem to be getting my mojo back; touch wood! After being… [Read More...]

The weather has been behaving beautifully for the last few days; touchwood. The daffodils are in their full glory, the days are bright and long and it is a joy to be woken up by the cheerful chirping of the birds at the crack of dawn.
