Day is Better With Ice Cream:)))


My last post on the blog was on our home decor and sharing of  our collectibles. Whether a home is traditional, contemporary or whatever your style is....a home is always a ' home sweet home'.

Right here the chillness in air sliding away quietly giving way to Spring/Summer. The days are heading for sunny days in calendar. We are anticipating much hot and humid weeks ahead this year as we lost thousands of age old trees and other trees to the recent savaging cyclone that hit our city. Summer preparations are going on at everyone's end to beat the heat. Mild spicy recipes are ready to replace the hot spicy dishes in the menu.  Water content veggies, fruities, ice creams, milk shakes, fresh fruit juices & salads strives to enter the summer kitchen.

Colourish cones, creamish cups, icy are the words that spring to mind while we think about ice creams. Indulging in some home made ice creams are fun at times and a perfect treat for a hot sunny day. How about preparing ice cream with the Mediterranean delightful ingredient the Olive oil? That sounds yummy.

Spring/summer season starts off at Crystal Grandeur with a fun, fresh flavored and easy to make ice cream recipe. Try and you will enjoy.  Also sharing an ice cream table setting from our cozy corner.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch
