<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our new healthy snack addiction these days has been </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guacamole" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Guacamole </a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- an avocado based sauce which originates from Mexico.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are tones of information on the web with health benefits of this fruit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And equal number of interesting Avocado recipes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the past in an attempt to introduce Avocado to our diet, I used to mix it with wheat flour in making Indian bread like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti">roti/chapatis</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After having tried Guacamole, I am sure I would love to eat Avocados in this form instead :) </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You could choose to eat this sauce with chips/nachos/pita or healthier options like toast, sandwich, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti">roti </a>or even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idli">Idli</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosa">dosa</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The secret lies in choosing the perfectly ripe Avocado. I found this </span><a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-know-when-your-avocado-is-perfectly-ripe-inside-172933" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">link </a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">useful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To make Guacamole, there are many recipes with various combination of ingredients. I started with <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-guacamol-8649">this </a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My favorites so far are those in photograph above - Onions (Red onions works better), jalapenos (I read black pepper is a good substitute but I prefer chilies !), Tomatoes, lime, coriander (I love lots of lime and coriander), salt (liberal amount) and of course Avocado !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I recently added sweet corns to this and that tastes wonderful too !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So give your own interesting recipe to this healthy fruit and stay healthy this new year !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A super simple cup cake decoration ... just a swirl of <a href="http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Buttercream-Icing"><span style="color: red;">butter cream icing</span></a> topped with some sprinkles and M&Ms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The heart and also the letters in first picture are made from <a href="http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Royal-Icing"><span style="color: red;">royal icing</span></a>. It was actually left overs after the pink roses (below) I made for the birthday cake.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First attempt in making a cake of this big a size ! You bet I had my fingers crossed through out :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Its a simple vanilla cake with butter cream icing. The sides were decorated with the basket weave and this worked pretty well since I still struggle to get the perfect finish with this icing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the decoration I made <a href="http://www.wilton.com/technique/Roses"><span style="color: red;">Wilton roses</span></a> using <a href="http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Royal-Icing"><span style="color: red;">royal icing</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The left overs of which I used to make the letters, hearts and also number 5 which unfortunately broke :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So with royal icing, be sure to make plenty of extras in case a few of them break !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Brownies looked pretty plain and simple. So used some butter cream frosting for this quick design.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was quite some work and planning in getting all this ready in-time for the party. At the end, it was all worth-it !</span><br />

Infact made a more ambitious attempt and made this tiny vegetable and flower patch in my backyard...after taking some measures to keep the squirrels away :)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The idea is simple...</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Find a container, add some rocks for drainage, possibly a little sand (I believe this is optional and skipped this), next add a layer of charcoal, specially if its a closed terrarium to keep the soil fresh, then a layer of potting soil, finally add plants and you're done !</span></span><br />

I did my high schooling at a convent school where we had this compulsory subject called "work experience". We were taught the basics of sewing, knitting and crocheting.<br />
<br />
Not sure I enjoyed so much back then. But I certainly am hooked to crochet these days !<br />
<br />
Thanks to my neighbor, a friend from Maldova, who is an expert in crocheting. She has done a zillion things using crochet and each of them is an amazing work. Unfortunately she hasn't shared them online.<br />
Inspired by her work and with her guidance to start with...I restarted my crocheting and absolutely loving it :)<br />

Its been a long while since I have posted on this blog and one of the reason is the summer travels that has kept me so busy and exciting.<br />
It hasn't been too long since I moved to the Evergreen state of the US. Its my second summer here and the 'Things to do around' is still endless...<br />
<br />
While I have updated my past travel experiences on this blog, with so many new places that I have been visiting each weekend, I just thought it deserves a whole new space just for the travel updates :-) - <a href="http://village-traveller.blogspot.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">Village Traveller</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
Do stop by my new blog and as always would love to hear your comments, suggestions and experiences to share if you have been to same place !<br />
<br />
While Mr Sun shines, enjoy the summer and the travel adventures...</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414932570225353574.post-75198987607333873922012-01-25T03:08:00.002+02:002012-01-25T03:15:00.375+02:00New Blog - Foot Prints<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I recently started this <a href="http://foot-printz.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #783f04;">small photo project</span></a> to archive and share these images ... they are interesting, inspiring or simply fun images that would bring a smile on your face :)<br />
<br />
So here's my attempt to observe, appreciate and enjoy these simple frames passing silently along our journey. This is my new blog - <a href="http://foot-printz.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #783f04;">Foot Prints</span></a><span style="color: #783f04;">.</span><br />

<br />
I have relocated with my family from the bright sunny mediterranean to the pacific coast...to the home of <a href="http://www.starbucks.com/">StarBucks</a> !<br />
<br />
For this time of the year though I never really enjoyed the mediterranean winter, now I do ! Specially the winter sun ! Now it feels the Cyprus winters were much much warmer than here !<br />
<br />
Well, while I look forward to making this my new home....I will continue to miss the mediterranean sun and hope to see some 'Happy Sunshine' here :)<br />
<br />
PS: Missed the blogging and also reading posts on my fav blogs. Hope to get back to routine soon :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414932570225353574.post-34174896512184680392010-10-23T22:38:00.000+03:002010-10-23T22:38:15.231+03:00Blogging break !<div style="text-align: center;">Thanks to you my friends who are still dropping by and some of you who write back too :)</div><br />
