Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!!!<\/p>\n

How is it this time of the year again? It’s mind boggling how time flies. Take our vacation for example. The stay in India is coming to an end soon and it feels so insufficient.<\/p>\n

Time at breakfast table, evening cup of tea with family playing “dumb charades”, eating local delicacies and so much more.<\/p>\n

I want to freeze it all up. I want the time to stand still. Just for a second at least.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Amidst all of the excitement, I’ve taken ill for a few days now. Most days were spent recuperating in bed, with flows of medications. It always feels like I’ve been missing out on so much family time.<\/p>\n

Often I’ve been told about life’s blessings for all of our travels. But nothing can ever prepare you for something as painful as vertigo.<\/p>\n

It’s the one and only bane of my existence. And it’s something that I’ve been learning to deal with for a while now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ultimately, what only matters is that I’m fine in other aspects of health. Counting my blessings for sure \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Lets shift our focus into this recipe. I love a simple cake. A sort-of<\/em> blank canvas that I can top with festive touches. Something about “candied” that immediately zooms into holiday mood.<\/p>\n

Not to forget, baking. It’s a perfect partner in crime. While I rest and recuperate, I hope you are indulging in your family favorites during this holiday season.<\/p>\n
