(Freshly brewed Black tea)

As you have already guessed there is no much of a recipe today, just wanted to flash the Ice Tea pictures that I had taken, acknowledge the awards and share a bit about myself.

I would like to thank Nithya, Indrani, Jaya, Bergamot, Pavitra, Ammu,Priya for thinking of me and passing this award to me. I really appreciate it, girls you made my day! 

 Secretly I have been pleased that so many bloggers have thought of me. But I did not anticipate that writing about myself would be such a tough thing. It has been about 10 days now and I am still fiddling to say 7 things about myself. 7 things that are generic, frank and yet appealing. Wish I had something interesting to say, but they seem so mundane.

Some random thoughts about me:

  • I enjoy cooking, experimenting and trying out new recipes. Even after a long day at work, I find it decompressing to come back home and cook for my family.
  • While it comes to food, I am not fussy, pretty much eat everything and there are very few things I dislike, (vegetarian, of course). However no matter how much I try I cannot get myself to like Paneer, Tofu and Mushrooms.
  • I have a phobia of dogs, cats etc. I had an incident with a dog when I was very young and ever since I avoid them and stay clear from them.
  • I hardly cry while watching movies.  (OK, I admit I avoid watching tragic, melodramatic movies) The only exception to this is the movie Masoom. I can watch this a hundred times, yet have a bucketful of tears.
  • I am a morning person; I can wake up pretty early feeling charged and refreshed. 
  • I am not fond of jewellery, the exception to this however are earrings. I am a sucker when it comes to pretty earrings.
  • I am a private person and even with closest friends I find it difficult to share any secrets. On the other hand, I am very close to my family and share every single thought, happening, fear etc. Once I start they do not hear the end of it, good or bad J

  18. Nice to know you a little bit more Supriya. I am in awe of you coming home exhausted from work and then cooking to wind down. I have working friends who tell me since I stay home I have enough time to write a blog and take my son out to soccer games. Next time I am pointing them to your blog.

  26. Thanks Lata for the sweet words. I appreciate it.

    Thanks Sweatha, so glad to know that we share certain similarities. No matter how hard I try I cannot wake up in the night for a long time. Food Stylist, now that is just a dream. No harm in that right? The ice tea helps here for the hot summers.

    Thanks Soma. Same here, I can watch those movies over and over again.

    Thanks Keerthana.i like the way you phrase the word Aha moments.Found it kind of tough to tell about myself, but then glad I did it :-))

    Thanks ISG. The scorching summer here can turn anyone into a ice-tea addict :-))

  27. Thanks Ashwini and a dear Aamchi. So glad to have found you. One can never have enough of Konkani recipes can they? I sure will visit you more often!

    Thanks Cilantro. Aha, what can I say, my husband finds it strange too and tris his best to expose our son to dogs, cats in case he turns out like me. Sigh!! Now I cannot write that part can I :-))

    Thanks Sonu. Glad I have company in that matter. In my case currently DH is the target and is forced to hear my chattering non-stop.

    Thanks Mala. The glass is an old one and I think we got it from Garden Ridge.

    Thanks Srivalli for all the kind and warm words.

  28. Thanks Priya. Crying on seeing cartoons? now that I had to laugh :-)) You are a sweet person and you like paneer. Now if you come home I will know what to make :-))

    Thanks Pari.Hmmmm…I know tough to write when you know that hundred’s will be reading. You want to have it positve yet be truthful.

    Thanks Jyothi.

    Thanks Priya. i have to thank the bloggers who passed it onto me.

  31. Thanks Aparna.You are a sweetheart and you made my day, not to mention the weekend. i would definitely visit your kitchen and drool 🙂

    Thanks Parita. In our house the DH is fond of ice-tea and I am kind of picking it up.

    Thanks TBC. I am glad that I am not alone in terms of my nature. Masoom, is such an appealing movie isn’t it?

    Thanks a bunch Jaya. You are a sweetheart. Well, frankly the reason for cooking is I get a chance to move around and flex my muscles. imagine I sit at my desk for 9 hours a day and that just helps me take my mind off work. for now blogging is a passion. Let us see how far it goes.

    Thanks Mandira. I feel the ame way too, love to know and hear about fellow bloggers.

  32. Hey supriya congrats for the award & now I know you better … I also cry (bucketful )when I watch tragic movies ,so normally avoid them … & regarding Icetea its my favourite ….Loved the picture too , its simply great …

  33. Hi RC…

    I was looking for a banana walnut cake recipe (as I’ve got overripe bananas and freshly procured walnuts from a recent trip to Srinagar @ home) and came accross your blog (dunno how?!). Seems that we have a lot in common except that I love mushrooms and paneer is fine. I am a food freak too and love cooking and taking pictures of what I make… my friends love my pasta, sambhar and of course Ice tea.. Try making it with star anise or cinnamon!

  34. Hi
    If that iced tea was made by you….Can you post the recipe as welll….
    I tried at home but it always turns out bitter…

  35. Lavi, the tea was prepared by DH. Be default, brewing black tea and sipping it will be bitter, wedon’t let the tea bag sit in hot water for long time. Along with it we add some natural sweetners like POM juice or Apple juice to take out the bitterness. Hope this helps.
