MY BLOG TURNED 1…MARKING MY MILESTONE WITH STONE-FRUIT!
“Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.”Jean Paul Richter I’M GLAD TO BE 1 !! It’s been a while; I’ve finally crawled in & turned 1….after everyone & their cousin’s blogs have done it. Been waiting for long enough to reach the BIG 1. From being the new kid on the block in August last year, to being part of this GREAT community, it’s been an enjoyable & eye-opening journey. I’ve made fantastic friends, filled my days & nights with blog addiction & blog panic, met beautiful people, crossed virtual borders, peeped into kitchens, indulged in cuisines unheard of in my kitchen, won a couple of blog…

EXPLOSIVE MANGO-NECTARINE SALAD TO BEAT-THE-HEAT
“In summer, the song sings itself.”William Carlos Williams Fusion of flavours…tantalizing the taste-buds! I beat the heat with this explosive fruit salad. The flavours were refreshingly FRESH, & the dressing complimented the fruit beautifully. Inspired by entries for Beat the Heat that I saw at Ann @ Redacted Recipes, Nic @ Cherrapeno, & Elle’s @ Elle’s New England Kitchen, I set on a no cook trail this morning. Turned to Epicurious found this great sounding ‘no cook’ affair, with great reviews to match…& put this wonderful salad together. The zing of lime, the freshness of mint… Believe it or not, it did BEAT THE HEAT! The temperature is down many,…

LASAGNE ON A ROLL…FREEDOM PASTA
“Forks and spoons have probably done more to reconcile people who cannot agree than guns and bombs ever did” Theodore Zeldin . ‘Red & White‘… Lasagna – Pasta with Freedom! . A few weeks ago, I got a mail each from 2 very sweet Indonesian bloggers settled in Canada, Pepy @ Indonesia Eats & Dwiana @ The Adventure of My Cooking Diary announcing a food event celebrating ‘Red & White’, the colours of the Indonesian flag, in honour of the Indonesian Independence Day in August. How surprising that Dwiana & Pepy are ‘foodie fellows’ as they call themselves, & I have known the 2 of them separately through blogging in…

A PARTY FOR A POPPET…FRUIT GALETTE TARTS
“Sing a song of Birthdays Full of fun and cheer, And may you keep on having them For many a happy year.” Author Unknown Sitting waiting for the cream to come by…yum yum yum!! All dressed up for the party… it’s the BIG 1 !! The head was dizzy with a heady mix of poppet, party & France. An eclectic mix of thoughts, while enjoying the delectable success of my rustic Peach & Plum Galette , set me thinking. Had to make something for Dhhangit’s sweet little poppet, Mayumi, who is about to turn 1. Dhhangit has the cutest little baby girl, & this loving Mum has called out a…

ADDICTED TO FOOD BLOGGA’S ADDICTION…A BEAUTIFUL PEACH & PLUM GALETTE!
“We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink…” Epicurus Galette a la Plums & Peaches! If someone said to me that they made a galette, I would just nod & get on my way, maybe wouldn’t even bat an eyelid! Never heard of something like that before (seriously I haven’t, even if that means you think I live under a rock!). Now if someone showed me a picture of a galette they baked, & if that someone had the word addiction in the blog post, & if that someone was the ever so talented Food Blogga gal, it would grab…
