STRAWBERRIES ON A ROll…Nice ‘n’ Light Dessert
On the STRAWBERRY: “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.”Dr William Butler, 17th century English writer STRAWBERRY SWISS ROLL A delicious & light dessert which I made a while ago when I wasn’t quite camera crazy & ‘blogged on’. It was loved by everyone; am waiting to see strawberries back this season to make it again. The gateau has this lovely fresh flavour, and the vibrant look enhances the great taste!! Pretty simple and straightforward, this can be made in a day in advance. Keep it covered if you choose to make it the day before. Ingredients:Eggs – 2 Powdered Sugar – 2/3 cup…

CLICK: November 2007…NOODLES
‘It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.‘Laura Ingalls Wilder Am pushing my limits…Between dropping the kids off to school, and now returning to get them back (they come back early today grrrrrrrrr…), I cooked, imagined, clicked,downloaded & am now trying to post. It’s been like this since yesterday. The hubby came back after working all night long ( he’s an aircraft engineer), to receive a call an hour deep into slumber that there was a diverted flight with a medical emergency. So we all rushed madly in all directions…me to get the kids ready for school, and he to resurrect & hit…

SMOKED BUTTER PANEER…Paneer-e-Dhungaar is what I like to call it!
“Raising children is presented at first as a true-false test, then becomes multiple choice, until finally, far along, you realize that it is an endless essay. No one knows anything.”Anna Quindlen SMOKED BUTTER PANEER CURRY…‘Paneer-e-Dhungaar’ is what I like to call it! This recipe is the result of trying to keep the dinner table smiling with eager kids. Here’s a nice change to the regular Indian style cottage cheese/paneer curry. It combines the best of paneer tikka (which has a smoked flavor) & butter paneer. I made this up one day when the kids were losing interest at the dinner table, and I had paneer on hand which I wanted…

BUTTERFLIES…everyone deserves a little sunshine!!
“Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine. “ Jeffrey Glassberg The past few days have seen a nice change in the weather and have brought forth plenty of happy butterflies. I love to sit with a book in the garden, watching these fascinating creatures flutter around. The brown one on top, a little one (an inch!) has my favourite colours…beige/khaki & black . The one below , was discovered by my son, fast asleep in the Currypatta tree (Botanical name – Murraya koenigi) in the backyard…the colours reminded me of Halloween! “I’ve watched…

“Bring forth the raisins and the nutsTonight All-Hallows’ Specter struts Along the moonlit way.”John Kendrick Bangs Chocolate-chip & Walnut Cookies for Halloween Today was a day I just wanted to sit & relax in one place till I grew roots!! Obviously the daughter had other plans as it’s her friends’ birthday tomorrow and they’re having a Halloween party.

I’ve posted it earlier; if you would like to view it, click here . The cookie…

A PINEAPPLE ‘n’ CREAM CAKE…& the makings of it!
“We all have hometown appetites. Every other person is a bundle of longing for the simplicities of good taste once enjoyed on the farm or in the hometown left behind.”Clementine Paddleford Pineapple ‘n’ Cream Cake I wonder why the cream always chooses to misbehave on days when I am MOST pressed for time. Well, it was one of those trying days yesterday when things were on an uphill drive. SIGH! I baked the sponge etc a day before, no problemo…it came out beautifully. The next day electricity decided to do the disappearing act, and when the blessed thing came back, the cream made me weep. Just didn’t want to get…
