recently....

Another new week. Another week to make new memories. I love it when I look at it this way. Instead of thinking about it as another week of the same-old, same-old.

A freshly baked cake and an empty glass of green tea. This has become one of my new favorite cakes. I love the simplicity of the recipe as well as making it in a loaf pan.


Elisha doodling away while I sit and have a cup of coffee. Lately this has been the best way for me to get 15 minutes of me-time.

Piles of mail.....mostly bills that we never bother opening since I just check the dues online and pay directly. Who needs paper bills anymore. Some lovely surprises too....postcards and cards for E and me!

At the beach. Do you see the three paragliders in the sky? This is Palm Jumeirah in the back, btw.

I agree... new memories are so much better then same old same old :)

Franka, yes, the beach there is lovely, and since there are breakers out there, the waves are usually quite tame. We'll be here in Dubai for Christmas....so will celebrate with a few friends and family.

Bhargavi, thank you.

Purvi, :-)

There is such as a thing as every day chocolate cake? And I didn't know about it? Eeee! (I had to unsubscribe from smittenkitchen because she was making me TOO FAT.)

You bake the most mouth-watering goodies; your daughter Elisha is turning out to be quite the artist ;); that's an interesting photograph of uninteresting mail and bills :); and I must say that the para-gliders are the accent of the beach photo. As always, lovely pics Shalini.

Shalini, It's a really great cake....I just have to have a slice of cake or cookie after lunch with a cup of green tea....else I cannot function. Well, at least that's what I've convinced myself.

Shilpa, thanks so much.....the top two postcards were from Kits :-)

Preeti, thank you. That's the extent of my art skills....a flower, a cube, triangle and circle :-)
