I HEART THIS

Hey all!

The moment I saw this pic on Pinterest I literally skipped a beat.

The colores are so rich and the pop of pink just adds soo much drama to the room and gives it a character.

The pink candles...*drool*....the combination of shocking pink with grey illuminates the room... I can stare this room for hours on a stretch. LOVE...LOVE...LOVE

AHOY THERE!!!

Hey all!!!
Today I am sharing with you all the first fruit (rather vegetable) of this season straight from our backyard.... How lovely is this feeling of plucking the veggies from your kitchen garden...organic and fresh and truly juicy and melting in the mouth. Have a lookie.

                                                                   Beans and One big fat brinjal
               

This single spongeguard is the last we had this season.

Three mighty brinjals on one tiny stem

                                                                First lot of the spinach

 

Now I am not much a fan of the brinjals that we are getting in large quantities but love the spinach. It truly is soft and melts in you mouth.

We made brinjal and palak (spinach) pakodas.

And Palak paneer was made from the rest of the left palak. Recipe here .

 

 

 

MUCH LOVE
