A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
It's been a while since we introduced anything new in the eating line-up and frankly I was a little antsy about doing more stuff at home. Nothing strenuous mind you, just little more stuff from the norm. And voila! The idea of making banana fritters came to me. Ridiculously simple, not excessively fattening and a... Continue Reading →
When all else fails, get a haircut. Or so sayeth an undiscovered lady philosopher.
Inspired by @kelzbelzphotography, I too will start a daily positives post. I will start but endeavor to have something positive to post daily. This post is a retrospective one or should it be a retrograde one? Anyhow it'll be a retro something for sure! So here goes: Yesterday I took my brat shopping in the... Continue Reading →
