Crazy rainbow around 10pm. This is what it feels like to hike in nature. There is so much beauty.

I learned the name of these flowers, Alaskan Lupine. They are ubiquitous in low planes of Iceland. This picture depicts we just descended to lower elevation.

Coconut chutney~ spicy... I used to not like coconut and now, I'm nuts for 🥥. I made dosa for dinner last night and I can't have enough of this chutney. Having a curry leaf tree definitely helps with many south Indian cuisines.

My first time making Sambar. I can literally have this everyday. Best protein packed vegan food. I love them with dosa but restaurant sambars are too salty for us. Homemade is the best! Next time, I'll make triple and freeze them. Make tadka when we are ready to eat. We had them with my version of uttapam today.

My kids and I saw the screening of The Flash today... My kids loved it~ My little one said it was his favorite so far. I loved it because of all the humor and witty scenes. It was really nice to see my favorite Batman as well.

Arepa~ somehow these didn't get uploaded last time. well... I'm trying again. Thinking of making them again this week. There are so many variations of these and so far, I've made venezuelan chicken avocado version and my Mexican fusion version with homemade enchilada sauce. The texture of crispy soft arepa goes well with pretty much everything.
Ping me for recipes.

Made Moroccan breakfast this morning... Not very traditional but had a baghrir with honey and shakshuka. I can see myriad ways to use these for wraps as well. --- little about baghrir-- when we were in Morocco, most bed and breakfast served these lovely bread along with jams, mint tea, cheese, yogurt, etc.

This was our second arepa dinner in a week. Last time was venezuelan arepas with mild avocado chicken salad and this time, it was a fusion chicken arepa with homemade enchilada sauce. I just love that crunchy outer layer with a soft buttery inside... Love love love arepas!

TGF~ I made tangerine 🍊 margarita today after juicing two gallons of tangerine. We wanted to keep them on the tree for a while but they were going bad with too much rain. Happy Friday~

This is 20 years ago... I was bold, adventurous and fearless... maybe too much. I felt invincible then. I am thankful I'm still alive... I've put myself in so many precarious situations without much thought, trusting everybody crossing my way. So far, it worked out to my advantage. I am much more fearful and full of self doubt now. I want this year to reflect on my intrinsic nature and hopefully meet half way.
