What are the “must-haves” in your fridge?
I have a list of staple items that are “must-haves” in my refrigerator. Since our current living location is a little too far away for daily groceries, we sort out the problem by going for groceries every forth nightly.
1) Soy Milk – a great and healthier milk substitute and I would higly recommend for any one with lactose intolerance. I would recommend the Silk brand and it comes in variety of flavors; vanilla, chocolate, original. You can surely substitute any other brand if you can’t find Silk. Just make sure it is all natural.
2) Yogurt – my favorite by far would be Dannon, All Natural Non Fat.
3) Roma tomatoes
4) Ginger
5) Eggs
6) Lettuce/Spinach
7) Raddish/Carrots
8) Asian vegetables & condiments such as bok choy, tofu etc
9) Asian sauces
10) Chicken/Vege Broth
11) Cilantro/Any other herb
12) Curry leaves are a must for Indian curries
13) Citrus: Oranges, lemon and lime
14) Others: Mushroom, corn on the cob, cheese, jelly (our favorites are: orange marmalade & apple),
And not to forget my closely watched cravings and must haves: CHOCOLATES!
Call me crazy, but I’m in love with chocolates! It’s a food staple for my ‘now and then’ cravings.
As for my freezer must haves: Assortments of frozen vege patties (for snacking on burgers), fish, chicken, paneer, and definitely ICE-CREAM! The 3rd love of my life 🙂
Tips of the day:
a) Try substituting regular milk with Soy milk and have it with your favorite cup of tea… Deliciousness!
b) To preserve the shelf life of your herbs (i.e Cilantro, Rosemary, Mint, etc), clean and dry after purchase. Ensure all the liquids are evaporated. Fill a glass with some water, and keep your herbs in it, fresh and available in the refrigerator. See the example in the photo above.

I some times wonder how much mail that we receive into the mailbox everyday. It is painful to go through heaps of mail assuming each and every one are as important as your tax document. And not to your surprise, it also includes the endless offers from credit card companies – which by the way, isn’t doing any good to our economy. I don’t think encouraging people to spend on credit would eventually boost the economy. Don’t worry, I won’t go too much into economics and political agenda here. It’s way beyond my league and a very sensitive issue for many people right now.
Back to basics. Where was I? Oh, right! Mails and mailbox. OK. So, I officially declared “Spring/Post Winter Cleaning” day today and went on digging through the heaps of paperwork left to be organized or shred since we moved. Trust me, when I say its heaps of paperwork, lying on the study, awaiting to be organized. So, where shall I begin? Then, I noticed we have a huge collection of stationary on the study. Pens and pencils everywhere. I bet half of them are not functioning (dry ink). So I started the cleaning by re-organizing my stationary. I know, it is lame. But a girl has to do, what she has to do.
A whole bunch of pen and pencil awaiting to be tested!! wow, this sounds serious!
Looks like I adore America and wrote it many times as the proof of my affection (or to test the ink?). How lovely.
I finally completed the whole purpose of the title of this blog entry, here is the final result.
p/s: I know, I am behind with my blog entries, but you have to forgive a girl who is too busy with her families and books (mba to be precise).

It was a blistering hot afternoon today. But a very clear blue sky welcomes me, mummy and papa into our backyard/garden. We noticed words being scribbled in the sky. I tried straining my vision, to have a look at what is creating such a beautiful sight. It looked like the world’s tinniest plane or something. I am not too sure. But we had an awesome time, waiting for each word formation. It was all word of blessings, such as TRUST JESUS, JESUS LOVES YOU, GOD+LOVE=U. TRUST – what does that mean?
Trust is an act or statement of what is otherwise unknown. Relying each other to some extent without knowing the actual truth. It’s almost like a prediction. Scenic view of our garden, facing the pond, with clear crisp sky, messages from heaven. That’s what I like to believe.

Mum enjoying the grammar.
View from the patio – only missing was the afternoon tea.
Mum and Papa were excited! This is a new experience for all of us. And the best part of it, we shared it together 🙂

Hey guys, it has been a long time since I blogged. Been pretty busy and hectic after moving into our new home. With mummy and papa around, me and Tarun tend to be guilty for not being able to take them out too much. We are trying our level best.
One of our outings were visiting Big Tree Park to visit the oldest cypress tree in the US. Big trees, lush green and serene atmosphere greeted us. It was a peaceful outdoor experience. I’ll allow the photos to speak for itself 😉
