Take a look of my friend's home:))


I am happy to share my good friend Laila's lovely home at Crystal Grandeur. Laila and her husband Vimal created a warm and a beautiful home for themselves at Cochin in the state of Kerala.

After spending their years in several places in and out of India they chose to settle down in their hometown of Cochin. Laila is a happy-go-lucky funny girl who finds humor in everything. Talented by nature with a good taste, she transformed her home this summer to give it a cool look. The blue pots in the corner, the flying birds, the bells on the wall, and the sea creatures on the door are her creations. Do take a look at her home with all the little touches she has given to it. 

Kerala, s picturesque state is called "God's own country". Its beauty lies in its backwaters, beaches and tropical greenery. Cuisine from this region is unique and is special for it's fresh aromatic preparations. It is also known as the 'Land of Spices'. It is an important tourist destination on the Indian map. 

My favorite is her spacious kitchen and what is yours??

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...

Festive Give Away:)))

  Season Fall is to arrive soon and the season has its own charm in providing us with plenty of seasonal specials. Oranges are best during Fall and they last from beginning of Fall to end of Winter. In our garden plenty of Calamondin oranges started to appear and the fresh smell of the citrus in the air so soothing.  Plucked few of them and made marmalade from the ripen oranges for the morning toast. Also a good idea to make marmalade when the oranges are plenty, fill them in cute little bottles,tie with a ribbon/card and gift it when there is a Fall party or for Thanks giving & festive occasions. Its easy and quick to make and my way of preparing the recipe is given right here.  Cut the calamondin orange to half, remove the pulp and the skin separately. While removing the pulp take away the seeds. Squeeze out the juice from the pulp using a thin cloth . Cut the skin to thin stripes.  Put a heavy bottom pan on the stove and keep on low flame. (For one glass of ju...
