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...

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...
