Its Friday and supposedly, a relaxing day before weekend hits. But unfortunately, I’ll be ranting today. And I hope you’ll chime in with opinions and advice. So here it goes….
————————————————
Dear Spiteful Souls,
Thank you for reading this space and trying the recipes here. However, every recipe on this space is not for everyone. There’s no way I’ll be able to create recipes to suit each and every palate out there.
Wish I could, but it’s impossible 😉
I wanted to thank you personally for your attempts at ruining my day when I read that spiteful comments or emails sent my way. Whatever your motives were, let me assure you it didn’t work on me. My days weren’t ruined. In fact, I feel sorry for people like you who go around tearing others down.
Perhaps you need a reality check in the morale department? Whatever may be your issues, I suggest you begin seeking professional help.
Being kind is free. It won’t cost us a dime to be nice to each other. I welcome constructive critism but that has to come with respect. Just because there’s a comment box and my email address to your disposal, that doesn’t give you the right to be spiteful.
Not to me, my family or anyone else.
As a reminder, this space is mine. I spew my creativity all over it. I give it all with respect and kindness and I demand the same in return.
If you don’t like the outcome of a recipe, kindly email or comment what went wrong. Nasty emails and comments are just plain spiteful and won’t be tolerated. I chose to share my recipes with everyone and the tone has always been positive. It should always work both ways.
Have a great day, because I’m sure about mine.
All the best, Kiran Srivastava
———————————————————–
Phew! Ranting on a Friday is definitely not my thing. But this issue needed to be addressed. For precautionary, this shake has avocados, green tea powder and chai flavors. If you love any one of this ingredients, chances are you’ll like this recipe.
If not, give it a shot anyways and kindly let me know how it tastes, good or otherwise.
Makes 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 heaping cups almond milk
- 1.5 tbsp black tea leaves
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom

- 2 tsp matcha (green tea) powder
- 1 very ripe avocado, cubed
- some ice cubes
Optional toppings: whipped coconut cream, diced avocado, pistachios, chocolate shavings, fresh mint.
Directions:

Wish you a very happy Friday and a fun-filled weekend, friends!
What are your thoughts on hateful comments or emails?

Love your blog. You take the most amazing pictures.
Michela — thank you so much 🙂 xo
Kiran: I couldn’t agree more with you. There are many bitter souls in this world needing a reality check. It is impossible to suit everyone’s palate for sure. If there is something that I take pride is in my correct recipes as a trained Chef. If people follow them correctly, everything will turn right yet there are a few people that came to spill their crazyness over me. They have to understand that we owe them nothing. They don’t pay us a cent. In addition, they are not forced to come to our spaces. The most absurd case that I got once it was from someone who complained why her comment was not approved (It was so ridiculous that I thought it was a spam and deleted). Instead of asking me nicely, she used foul language. I replied her by email. She seems to have learned the lesson because never ever more she came to my space and misbehaved. Well, insane people is everywhere unfortunately! I am glad that you are Ok. Keep doing what you do best: Delight us with your wonderful food and photography. xo

The spiteful comments are horrible! And I’m sorry you got one. I love avocados and green tea so this recipe is right up my alley so to speak! Have a super weekend 🙂
Tandy | Lavender and Lime recently posted..Sweet Myrtle
Aw, Kiran, I’m sorry that you’ve received mean comments/emails. I really don’t understand why people do things like that…it must make them feel better about themselves or something? Also, I think that if anything you should be flattered, because haters only bother “hating” on successful people (i.e. they don’t care about little ole’ bloggers like me). I’m glad you haven’t let them get you down. Anyway, I think that your recipes ALL sound delicious…especially this one! Oh man, chai in a shake is such a good idea!!! Happy Friday!
Amy @ Elephant Eats recently posted..Cat Costumes and Puppy Portraits
Amy — thank you so much, my sweet friend. I don’t consider myself a successful blogger, and neither should you consider yourself as “little”. No way, my friend. We all share similar blogging missions which is sharing our love for food. Enjoy the journey and forget about these trolls 😉
ahh… let them say what they want, I for once don’t care and your recipes are interesting, inspiring and full of flavors that I enjoy. Basta!
I wonder what your shake tastes like. You see! You make me think and you taught me to be more daring in my cooking.
Have a nice weekend!
Helene — aww, thanks love. friends like you constantly inspire me 🙂
i love friday rant, if any consolation my friday was horrible too :-(..hope the weekend is better, and this smoothie looks delicious, honest! 😛

Jehanne — aww, i hope today is better than yesterday, for you 🙂
Aw Kiran! I am so sorry that you’ve been receiving spiteful comments/emails. It’s nasty, uncalled for, juvenile, horrible… how many other adjectives shall I use?! These people are definitely not worth your emotion so I’m glad you’re not taking it personally. Horrible people. Anyway, this shake looks delicious! Amazing photos as per ALWAYS. Sending you love, beautiful! xx
laurasmess recently posted..South West Rambling
Laura — thanks love 🙂
So sorry to hear you’ve been the target of that nonsense. People hide behind their screens and quite frankly need to get up and get a life. So glad you were able to address it and not let it ruin your day! Beautiful recipe and photos as always! Happy weekend!
Maria | Pink Patisserie recently posted..Beef, Mushroom and Parsnip Pie
Maria — thanks friend! yeah, they really need to get up and get a life 😀
These pictures are really stunning. I like when you show your recipe in “the real context”, while holding the glass, for example. I feel your “pain” about the nasty comments. No one should ever use aggressive tones, after it’s only food and taste has never been an absolute matter.

Daniela — thank you, friend. my sentiments exactly. there’s always a better use of tone or words to address an issue 🙂
That’s a fantastic idea!

Well said too.
Sophie33 recently posted..Home-made vanilla extract & home-made sherry vanilla extract! 🙂 Great food gifts! ( Gluten-Free option! )
Sophie — thanks friend and I truly appreciate the effort you take to comment after making my recipes. not everyone would like all the recipes here, but being rude is something I just don’t tolerate 😀
I am not gonna lie, bothers me at times and I dwell a bit more than a minute. But, hey, people can get very mean but I love your attitude. This is your space girl, and you rock it like no one else. Love ya for that.
Keep it coming girl, this is a very healthy drink, which I can’t wait to try. Enjoy your weekend.
Ash — thank friend. and I love you for being you 🙂
Sorry you received harsh emails, I think that’s just part of blogging, 99% positive, and 1% will be negative. Unfortunately there are some mean people out there, just have to shrug it off and keep doing what you are amazing at – cooking and photography.
This looks amazing… so creative!

Oh no you poor thing! That’s terrible that you get emails and comments like that 🙁 Some people really have so much misdirected anger 🙁
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella recently posted..Guangzhou: The Home of Yum Cha
Lorraine — people like that are just so sad in my opinion 🙂
I don’t understand angry trolls who feel like it’s their right to express their passive aggressiveness and feel like there are no consequences.
You are absolutely right that we all look for constructive criticism in order to improve ourselves. And no-one is forcing anyone to read anything!
Ok my rant over. Feel better (and I know that I love your site at least!!) 🙂

This shake sounds so delicious and awesome! I love avocado and have matcha and all the spices – can’t wait to try this and hope you have an amazing weekend Kiran 🙂
Kelly recently posted..Pumpkin Buttermilk Waffles
Kelly — thanks for the sweet support, my friend. do let me know how it tastes 🙂
I loved your post and wish I could find such an eloquent way to express my feelings which match exactly yours! I think every food blogger has lived some of such experience… Luckily it’s just a minority. Thousands of us love your blog, your wonderful posts, gorgeous photos and inspiring recipes! (And we don’t see comments as an occasion to exercise their sadism or heal complexes!).
I would never even dream of combining matcha and avocado. Amazing idea!

Hello Kiran, so sorry to hear about the spiteful comments you have had to put up with.
The shake looks lovely and so do the clicks.
Enjoy your weekend.
Best,
Sihi
Hello Sihi — please don’t be sorry. but thanks for the support 🙂
Wow, what a combination! I just bought some matcha powder, and I was wondering what to do with it. I definitely want to try this!!

Cathleen — thanks friend. do let me know how it tastes 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about your day & the nasty comments you’ve received, that’s terrible of them! You’re not the only one! Why can’t anyone appreciate them? If they can’t appreciate your post, then don’t comment, otherwise email the blogger directly if you have any questions or need clarification. The avocado-matcha-chai shake sounds amazing and your photos are gorgeous!
Rika — thanks and yes, I’m not the only one who receives negative comments or emails. but i think it’s important to address trolls as such and not let it ruin your day 🙂
Good for you for speaking up for yourself, Kiran! It’s so sad that some people find the need and even joy in being spiteful or mean to others. I think we all blog and/or visit food blog because we all share a love of food and what it means to be around the table sharing it with people we enjoy being with. You are especially creative to share so many original recipes with us. Keep up the great work and don’t let any negativity get to you!

You got nasty comments? Really? Gosh…I meant…you are such a sweet and kind gal and you took the most amazing photos. I think they are just dang JEALOUS!! Forget about them and enjoy one more of this delicious shake!

I’m so sorry someone left you a spiteful comment. I’ve learned some people have no manners! Beautiful shake, I love the chai!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) recently posted..apple graham hand pies
Laura — pls don’t be sorry. in fact, feel sorry for those negative people 😀
I hate overly critical bloggers/random fools who has nothing better to do than to criticize negatively. When I first started blogging, there was a blogger I follow regularly. He took amazing photos but he was super critical of himself and others. Every time I compliment him, he always have something negative to say about his work. Fine, it’s his prerogative. But when he came over to my blog to comment, he’ll say negative things like… I prefer this, I’m not into that… It was starting to be a constant thing that I got super annoyed one day and I did the same thing back on his blog just to see how he felt. He stopped commenting on mine and vice versa. Bottom line –If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say ANYTHING PERIOD! And not everyone likes the same thing so for me, I agree, –constructive comments are welcome but pettiness & spite is just bad form. Don’t you agree? Sorry for the rant…. Avocado and green tea are awesome together. And this is the prettiest shake I have ever seen! Enjoy the rest of your weekend Kiran. 🙂
Anne ~ Uni Homemaker recently posted..Apple Biscoff Streusel Bread
Anne — i agree, 100%! and please don’t be sorry for the rant — i’m glad you got it all out of your system 😀
I agree so much with you! This is YOUR blog, YOUR personal space, and it’s YOU and your family who have to enjoy the recipes here. I don’t get why some people have to behave in such an immature way when there are thousand of blogs out there who might have a recipe which suits their tastes better. I’m glad that comments don’t ruin your day, because you really do a wonderful job with your blog. I think that all your recipes look delish, even if I haven’t tasted them before, you do make them look appetising for me! And your photography is beyond beautiful!
These smoothies look amazing, Kiran! I’d never thought about the chai-matcha-avocado combo, but it sounds fabulous!
Have a great Sunday! 🙂

Good rant. 😉 There are some incredibly nasty people out there, alas. Anyway, Sounds like a terrific shake, and definitely worth trying. Thanks for this.

Sorry to hear about the rotten egg, but don’t worry about them and keep making yummy recipes and making beautiful posts! Sending hugs your way! Now please, let’s share a shake!

This is such a healthy shake and you’ve got me craving for some chai flavor. 🙂

But this shake looks awesome! I hope you had a great weekend!!

Sweetheart, because you are creative, beautiful, graceful, positive, friendly, inspiring, nice and humble, ‘they’ targeted you.
Unpleasant things happen in life and great to see that you handled it with poise and conviction. Way to go, my darling!
Your smoothie/shake recipe can be a real treat for all four seasons. What gorgeous, soul-soothing hue and lovely composition and perfect arrangement! Every single picture is unique with its comfortably beautiful props.
Love. Hugs. Stay exactly the way you are ♥
nusrat2010 recently posted..Ambrosia
Nusrat — I have the best of friends in the world. There’s nothing more I can ask for. Thanks love 🙂
I have once been attacked about the ‘authenticity’ of my recipe. I found that a little strange since recipes are altered and personalised by every family…when we bloggers write recipes and share them with the world, we assume that whoever is trying to make it has a certain level of skill…now if whoever is trying it out is a rank beginner and can’t even boil water properly the mess in the kitchen is certainly not our responsibility! That said love your shake…the combination is unusual for me and the photographs are as usual gorgeous 🙂

Don’t worry about the nay-sayers lady – I love your recipes and rants 🙂
Now bout this cup of heaven…I had fallen of the avocado bandwagon and seeing this recipe has launched me into withdrawl – am looking at your shake and am having the shakes!!! Ahh..I need this shake STAT!
Shashi @ http://runninsrilankan.com recently posted..MIMM with Traffic Smores
Shashi — lol! i hope you are out of the “shake” phase by now 😉
What a creative shake that is Kiran! And the pics stunning!
You know Kiran, I often tell my hubby about your blog and how much I love it amongst all. Your honest, friendly, grounded and cheerful personality simply shines through it. 🙂
As for the spiteful messages and comments, I believe that how people treat others is a reflection of how they really feel about themselves in their sub-conscious mind. You have skilfully addressed the issue.
easyfoodsmith recently posted..DAHI Ke KEBAB (YOGURT PATTIES)
Taruna — thank you so much for the support, my friend. truly appreciate it 🙂 xoxo
I can sooo relate to this… But I guess this has become norm rather than eception these days 🙁 If they can’t find out fault with recipe or your grammer, cribs sometimes come in other nasty forms too… so many ways that I can’t even begin to describe.
But good thing you have replied such people on their face. And as they say
“When people start talking against you, that means you are growing”
So keep doing what you are doing you are on right path my Friend.

Gorgeous clicks and wish I could grab one of these shakes right now. Love the combination of flavors!
Asmita recently posted..American Girl Cookies
I can definitely relate. Sometimes people feel they can say anything because of the anonymity of the internet. They are probably just jealous of your lovely blog, but if they don’t like it, they don’t have to read it. It’s your space.
Natasha @ The Cake Merchant recently posted..Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Shortbread Cookies
Natasha — i’m unsure about the jealousy bit, but the tone was so uncalled for. like i mentioned, being kind is FREE 😀
thanks for the support, friend.
Don’t let any loser bring you down! I am damn happy this is your space because your creativity is inspirational to me. I mean an avocado and matcha chai shake? It takes some serious talent to not only come up with such an awesome idea but then to see it through is a whole other ball game.
“Being kind is free.” That is going to stick with me.
Keep it up and don’t doubt yourself for a second!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven recently posted..{MIMM} Minneapolis Edition
Davida — i’m never doubting myself, thanks to the support from friends like you. 🙂 xoxo
I agree with you Kiran 100%, its your site and the amount of effort taken to run a blog is not easy. I would be upset too if I get something like that. I liked your attitude and how you handled it. Keep up the good work!! I never tried Matcha powder recipes. Do you get the powder from Asian stores or any grocery stores?
Shibi — thank you so much for the support, friend. you can definitely get matcha (green tea) powder from the Asian (Oriental) grocery store. good luck!
Totally agree with you. There are many factors to a recipe and taking it on a blogger is the least graceful.
The shake looks deliciously beautiful.
Lail | With A Spin recently posted..Kofta Curry – Luscious Curry of Baked Meat Balls

looks super tempting Kiran ! I’m sure it would’ve been absolutely yummy !
Gayathri recently posted..Raspberry Breakfast Bars / Healthy Breakfast Bars
Oh Kiran, I am totally with you, as I am facing some challenges myself…I really do not understand why some people has to be nasty…blogging is just sharing what you enjoy, nobody is putting a gun to anyone’s head to read or do anything…it is just sad, no words to describe this kind of behavior. In spite of the hassle, I just feel sorry for people that behave this way, because they are miserable and insecure and want us, happy people to feel the way they are.
Never thought of combining tea and avocado…always learning something new.
Have a wonderful week my dear 😀

I am in love with these pictures. They look awesome and is the drink.
Rekha — thank you oh so much 🙂
For some people, it’s easier to be mean than nice. Every now and then someone takes the time to write a nice email and I’m flying high as a kite for a week. I’d rather hang around those people, thank you! Rant away! I think we all should do it more often!
Laura @ Family Spice recently posted..Halloween Cocktails: The Kiwano Margarita
I missed this post but had to check it out when you referred to it today. First and foremost; the need for abject nastiness is on THEM; there is no excuse for that ever. We’re human, we will disagree; something you love might not sit as well with me but different strokes for different folks is perfectly OK. What is not OK is someone attacking you for what YOU like and they don’t.
I sometimes wish commenting was more conversational; more a study in those differences but that never seems the case. If I’m honest I don’t covet comments like many bloggers; that habit of commenting for the sake of commenting breeds vacuous and meaningless words. I want to hear from friends and readers with their true thoughts…just not said in a hurtful manner!
You always offer interesting dishes with beautiful photographs and I say that with sincere meaning to every word!

Nami | Just One Cookbook recently posted..Spicy Edamame スパイシー枝豆
I had never had comments yet in my blog because I am still new.But I cannot imagine receiving bad comments when we, bloggers, put so much effort in our blog. I do not post food recipe that I do not like. If a recipe makes it to my blog, that means that I liked it and my family liked it too. When I share my recipes it is for good intention of sharing what I like. To receive such comments will certainly break me. I hope they will not come. I am not sure if you are aware of it, but you can actually moderate the comments in your blog. You go to settings and there is comment moderation there. I am glad you got over it quickly.

Keep on shining! Blessings and love
Dear Kiran,
Hi, I’m new to your website and the reason why I came across it was because I was looking for the Avocado Milk Pudding thing that she has in the morning, and I guess yours seems the closest to it. Then, I read your blog on this page and I don’t know what happen, but I’m sorry that there were people out there that ruined your day. My mother always taught me treat others how you would like to be treated and if you don’t have anything nice to sat, then please just keep your mouth closed until you do.
I have tried some of your other recipes and they were quite yummy 🙂 and some I tweeked just a bit to suit my taste buds. I love your writing and your pictures so keep it up because you have a fan in me 🙂
