A Setting Under The Sun:))

       As the weather being warm and humid here, yesterday's sudden change of a moody sky and the cool sea breeze made me to do an out door setting in the garden. I loved creating this setting near a group of plants & Bonsai trees on the terrace. The red themed setting with red colored light- weight leak proof carry boxes, cane baskets, checkered spread, red checked napkins, fruits and fruit juices gave an picnic look. Sometime little touches like adding a lantern and lighting a candle inside against the dropping sunlight sets a mood & ambience. 

  Picnic is always associated with fun, joy ride, eating under the sky near a beach, river bank or on a grass filled area with family and friends. Going for a picnic sometime spur-of-the-moment decision. 
Organizing a picnic with children quiet a job for elders. However clear thinking, careful planning allow you & the rest to enjoy a beautiful day out in the sun. Arranging for a picnic is not to panic. Scroll down for some picnic tips. 


































1.Simple food like sandwiches are convenient for picnics. Bread and fillings can be taken separately and can be assembled on the spot. For salads crisp cut vegetables in a box and salad dressing in a screw top bottle can be carried and combined together just before eating. So that the crispness of the ingredients preserved. 
2. Vacuum flasks are good for keeping drinks hot or cold. Wide necked flasks can be used for soups, ice creams, gravy or stew. Fruit juices can be transferred  from cartons to disposable bottles or glass bottles. 
3.Disposable plates, glasses and mugs weigh less than China and more practical. However food taste better in china plates and you may prefer to take old plates that you will not miss if they are broken. As well this will allow us to keep the place trash free and say no to plastics. A kitchen knife, paper rolls, pair of scissors, spoons, bed spread or a rug, throw pillows, paper napkins, water bubble, cool-boxes, damp sponge and a large plastic dustbin bag are the things not to forget while you plan. For children accompanying the group, to carry a first-aid kit is advisable. This perfect planning will make a perfect summer holiday picnic. Happy picnicking.

    I love this! It makes it worthwhile to go outside and brave the heat and humidity!!! I agree...if you can use something that doesn't add to the landfills, go for it! I like to use melamine or plastic when we eat outdoors for a picnic. I would miss all of my china pieces if one got broken!!! :-) I really like the idea of taking the bread along separately from the fillings. Great tip!

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...

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...
