Monthly Blog Patrolling: Sweets to break my teeth and expand my waistline.....



First, those were the scones I made using Ashaji's recipe.....I made them smaller, left out the dried fruit for the fear of them being thrown back at me by Baby Siddharth, added just a touch of Saffron and Butterscotch chips in the middle. They came out delicious, all were gone in a matter of hours.

Then, I just had to make the blessed "Gajar Ka Halwah" using Manasi's recipe!
I just added my own touch of roasted and grated pistachios and almonds on top, and used an Almond extract for a deliciously, unique flavor. That was gone in 60 seconds.

This is being sent to Coffee's Monthly Blog Patrolling Event.

Thank you, Coffee for helping me put on 7, yes, SEVEN pounds in the last month. I now also have rotten teeth. So, thank you again. Tu anhiyan aav, tari vaat che. ( I'll deal with you when you come to Canada).

Hi Trupti,
Both looking very nice. I liked the pic of Halwa.

Coffee asks for 1 sweet dish and everyone makes 2 or more!!! The dishes are indeed tempting, Trupti!!! :)

We have a saying here - pot telling kettle he bottom black. Loosely translated it means, Look who's talking when they do the same thing.

I'm with Bee here (lol) - what about the weight we've gained from all your mouth-watering, delicious food? Ah ha ha ha

BTW, I meant to tell you since you put up the pic - it is very fetching.

Love your entries.

Spring Tablescapes

Spring Tablescape Ideas

The upcoming spring season marks an opportune time of year to incorporate a fresh and rejuvenating change to our home’s interior. Since a large amount of quality family time is spent around the kitchen or dining room, it’s a good idea to start the spring makeover in this area of our homes to encourage a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your next dinner party. Before you bring the spring influences into your new dining décor, assess your existing space by taking note of the colors and patterns you’ve brought into the room through your dinnerware collection, lighting, and wall colors. Often times you’ll find inspiration through your dining room collection and will be able to enhance the charming accents your room has to offer with a new spring theme.

If you want to start completely fresh, consider using a neutral colored table cloth and match it with a refreshing green or light yellow runner down the length of your table. Decide how you want to dress up the space with an existing set of decorative dinnerware or with a festive centerpiece that is perfect for the season. Keep in mind that fresh flowers stored in a clear glass vase with a vibrantly colored ribbon wrapped around it can be the simplest yet most perfect focal point of any spring inspired dining table. Adding a tiny bouquet of flowers to each place setting will really tie in the “breath of fresh air” tone you want to set in this space and will make your guests appreciate all of the finishing touches you took the time to perfect to make this meal special.

Whether you’re planning a meal that leans toward a casual or formal event, adding light pastel or brightly colored candles to each end of the table will add a subtle fragrance to the room while your guests arrive and converse. Scented candles add a warm and inviting environment to your dining room and are easy to cover when it comes time to eat the delicious food you’ve prepared. With that being said, don’t forget that the menu you create can always contribute to your spring table theme seeing as how you can match the food’s colors, scents, and flavors with this rejuvenating season.
