The cold has arrived!
The weather dropped below freezing today morning. Again we are below our average. So it is like we are above or below average temperatures. It seems like Mother Nature wants all of us to get used to ups and downs. Is it not same with our lives. We will be walking more inside the recreation…

Scavenger Hunt
Today my son’s program met at the mall food court. My son loves the food court, but meeting and doing activities in the food court is not his passion. He loves to eat and that is the only thing he wants to do. So he had a mild tantrum asking for food when we went…

Tangerine Peppers
An ornament plant out in the lobby of my Recreation Center would have made my Dad drool. I took this picture specifically for him since he loves spicy peppers. Both his grandson and granddaughter know about his taste, that is how he reacts to these tiny peppers. By the way I too would drool since…

Special Diets
When my son was three I asked my pediatrician if I should take my son off milk or gluten. He said no need since there was no evidence of milk causing any issues of autism. My son loved icecream and that was the only food he craved for. He loved those little debbie zebra cakes…

Tomatoes
It has been a warm week. The tomato plants have new flowers!!! By the end of next week, temperatures will be dropping and these flowers will not be able to survive. Feeling a bit sad for them. By the way tomatoes are fruits and not vegetables. I think this is one of the most cooked…

Florist Daisy (Mums)
My Spring Mums faded and I put them aside only to notice a few days back they have buds and now I have Fall flowers. I never expected them to bloom again. Truly excited since I didn’t do anything other than water them even when they weren’t blooming. So next year when I buy these…

The art of cooking
I never cooked before marriage. My Grandma never allowed me in the kitchen and I never bothered to learn much. All my cooking evolved by having men in my house. I learnt every day cooking by compulsion and I can say I am good at it. My special one has very good taste buds ,…

Ganga SnAnam Aacha
For those who do not speak my language, my title today may be difficult to understand so please bear with me as I explain. When my neighbor asked me how I am going to celebrate Diwali or Deepavali, the Indian lights festival, I really did not have an answer. Nothing can duplicate the fun and…

A Fall Day!
After two busy weeks, I went for a walk. My husband decided to walk with my son and I took my time to take stroll on the trail. The trail is a constant for my boy, so there is not much anxiety. But for me, I noticed the leaves changing color and felt the crisp…

Hectic week
Today I was texting a friend saying that I couldn’t make it to her house this year for Navarathri. I told her we needed two weekends to finish rounding up everyone. She said, we need the entire winter to be Navaratri so that we are not depressed. I have already written a lot about rituals…
