I love the holidays and Christmas time. I absolutely love it, love it, love it. There is nothing more festive than the December holiday season. I can’t think of any other time of the year when the entire country gets in on the celebrations. Almost every mall, shopping plaza, neighborhood, street, and home is decked with lights and holiday decor. Even if one is not into celebrating the holidays, you can’t help but smile when you see shimmering Christmas lights everywhere or little kids excited faces looking forward to Santa’s visit.

Wine, coffee, chocolates, gourmet foods, these are what we turn to when we are struggling to figure out what to get our guy. Do you see a pattern here? They are all food-related presents. You know the age-old saying, “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” That holds true no matter who the man is. Continue reading Guys Brunch on a Sunday Afternoon
Mom. How can such a simple three-letter word conjure up so much emotion? Love, devotion, beauty, rapture, and awe in all of us. Mom has to be the most loved word in the dictionary.
To every one of us, our Mom is the best, the most beautiful, the smartest, the best cook, and the best at everything she does. I don’t know anyone who when they talk about their Mom doesn’t talk with unadulterated affection. It’s pure Love. Why is that? Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day! 2016
Our friends Dave and Rose recently invited a few of us to a Passover Seder Dinner at their home, and we were honored to be included.
Continue reading An Invitation to a Passover Seder DinnerBay Area is a great place to live. A melting pot of various cultures, languages, and religions. Where else could I have such a wonderful group of friends from places like Ghana, Philippines, Japan, China, Ireland, Vietnam, England, Iran, Fiji, Russia, Kenya, all corners of India, Eastern Europe, and Malta. Which brings me to the topic of this post; Georgina’s Maltese Easter figolli.
Continue reading Georgina’s Maltese Easter FigolliYears ago in the early days of our marriage Hitesh would take me out every year for a Valentine’s Day dinner. I expected it. After a few years of following this tradition I noticed something – Valentine’s Day second only to Mother’s Day is the busiest day to go out for dinner. The restaurants are crazy packed. Not only are the restaurants swimming with customers, the wait staff is working extra hard, the kitchen staff seems overwhelmed, and there is a constant stream of new customers impatiently waiting to be seated. Restaurants want you to eat and leave so they can seat the next batch of customers, no leisurely romantic dinner on this evening. It can be pretty chaotic. So I decided a while ago that while yes, I still want my flowers, and yes, I still want my fancy restaurant dinner – but the restaurant dinner I can take a rain check on for another day. Instead, I will make a special dinner at home for all of us to enjoy and relax in the comforts of our own home. This way the whole family gets to be part of the Valentine’s Day dinner.
