Earlier last week, I stumbled upon Rachna’s blog and found a an interesting recipe for preparing laddus using peanut butter. It’s such an easy recipe, with no cooking at all. Surprisingly I had all the ingredients at home and moreover it was my friend’s daughter’s birthday, so I went ahead and made it immediately.

Mint is my favorite herb and until recently I didn’t know that I can grow it myself. I usually buy mint from the grocery store. When my mother in law visited us last winter she took few thick mint stems (after using the leaves for cooking) and potted it. Both my husband and myself couldn’t believe our eyes when it started growing small leaves. Initially it took sometime to grow but later it started leafing rapidly. One week I completely forgot about watering it. Because it was winter we had the pot indoors and we got the bulb which is available for indoor plants and we forgot to switch it on also. When one of our friends were visiting my husband was boasting about our mint plant and then only I really remembered about it and when we checked, the plant had dried out completely. I was so upset, but without losing heart I started watering it again and to our surprise it started growing.

Last weekend we went blueberry picking in Highland Orchards, PA. I think mid July would have been the right time, because a lot of berries were not ripe yet. We managed to pick around 3 cups of berries. Was it worth the drive, when blueberries are available in the local supermarket right at your doorstep, with buy one get one free offer?

I had 4 very ripe bananas at home. Usually I make carrot cake with it, but this time I wanted to try something new. Then only I remembered watching an episode of Good Eats in Food TV, where Alton Brown prepared banana ice cream without eggs. So immediately went to the site to get the recipe. Interestingly I had all the ingredients at hand. But the only thing was the bananas had to be frozen overnight and thawed, before making the ice cream. I have wanted to try this for a long time now, so did not have the patience to do it the next day and also the bananas were very ripe. So proceeded to make the ice cream and it did come out very well. Maybe I’ll try the freezing method next time. So check here for the original recipe. Read the rest of this entry »
