For probably the first time in my life something clicked…literally. I made this Streusel Coffee Cake day before because of an image from Joy of Baking that was maddeningly stuck in my brain. Last night, the nuts suddenly struck me as very very familiar…CLICK NUTS !!! Yippee! Now I’ve cut a slice, clicked a picture & I’m all set for Jai & Bee’s at Jugalbandi! VOILA! Couldn’t have asked for more.
And as you can see, my son is making hay while the sun shines. He’s been on cloud nine ever since this blogaddiction overtook me…his sister & he get to taste different stuff every other day. HE’S LOVING IT…even though he’s only allowed ONE slice a day! He’s perfectly happy to just sit & look at it!!
The cake was simply delicious. A moist & light crumb….& tasted heavenly, warm, with a drizzle of cream. Has my favourite combination of chocolate chips & walnuts, made even more interesting with orange zest!The recipe for the cake can be found here.

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 the road in 10 minutes. The medical emergency had a happy ending with the birth of a really cute little baby girl inflight!! How sweet is that!!
Must thank Jai & Bee of Jugalbandi for adding to the general excitement in life! Never thought I would spend sleepless nights trying to think up noodle art & baby girls. Yes, been there & done that too…PHEW!!
So here’s my entry for CLICK: NOVEMBER 2007….the theme is NOODLES!!
‘NIRVANA…BASKING IN THE LUXURY OF OODLES OF NOODLES!’
Am compelled to show you a couple of other pictures that I took while trying to figure out what to shoot…these are not part of the entry but I love the expressions. Also love the red platter which a friend just brought for me from babushka land…Thank you Chhoti, I love it!
‘Please, can we have them cooked?’
‘That’s much better…time to CLICK now!’
Thanks Jai & Bee…have enjoyed this one tremendously!

This entry is for one of the sites I have enjoyed visiting for a while now. It’s for an event called ‘CLICK’ hosted by Jugalbandi, and this months’ topic is ‘EGGS’!!!
These are the eggs in the nest of the Indian Tailor Bird in our front yard. I experienced the truly fascinating journey of the Indian Tailor Bird…from the stitching of the nest, to laying the eggs, the hatching eggs, the chicks being fed, developing wings and loud demanding chirps…and final freedom!! Thank you Jugalbandi for affording me a platform to share my eggciting tale!!
