The Brunch Guy

2012-01-14T13:26:00.000-05:00

There is only one cook in our household. My husband. He can make even the simplest of dishes taste out of this world. I do not have that talent. My food tastes good just because I have made it a dozen times, learnt through my mistakes. The Brunch Guy is a new segment that I am introducing in my blog. My love loves to make Saturday brunches and he always makes something new and different and

I am not Pregnant

Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of chicken mum!! Yes, dears. I have started eating meat again. After two years of self-imposed vegetarianism (if there is such a thing) I decided to go back to being the meat eating really bad poet that I really am. How do I feel? Horribly undigested but great! This is just a temporary phase though. I would love to go back to being vegetarian. Feel light, get

We have finally settled down. The apartment is coming together nicely. But we have a long way to go. A couple more weekends at the least. There are three more suitcases that needs to be opened, couple of boxes that needs to be emptied. The amount of paper-cuts between Kamikazi and me have reached the total of twenty. I am proudly sporting band-aids. Band-aids makes me feel bad-ass. Like a biker

New Apartment

2011-09-16T00:00:00.000-04:00

Most of you guys know that we have moved to Delaware. This has been a topic of discussion on this blog and off this blog for the past couple of weeks. I don't think it is going to be easy to stop talking about it till we finally move in our apartment and settle down. Settle down as in, fill the apartment with furniture and do some amateur interior designing. We are getting the keys to our

Menswear inspired

2011-09-12T00:00:00.000-04:00

Earlier this week I had mentioned on my Facebook page how menswear inspired fashion makes my heart skip a beat. Every time. That I did not mention. The every time part. Now I did and now you know. The most important and staple piece to create a menswear inspired outfit is the blazer. A blazer is the most perfect thing ever. It makes the most simplest of outfits look so refined, polished, so

More pictures from the IFB conference. Some random. Most not so much. The stage is set The stunning Coco Rocha Natalie of Natalie off Duty and Tanvi of The Fabulous Life Tony Wang of Post-Fashionism.

I mentioned in the earlier post about how I have a ton of pictures from the conference and I did not want to overwhelm you guys with all of them. And that a solution needed to be found to this small small problem. And the solution has been found. A two part post. Easy peasy.

New York was a blast. Met warm, friendly, beautiful people that I wouldn't have if it weren't for the IFB conference. For those who do not know what IFB or Independent Fashion Bloggers is: it is a community of 30,000 odd bloggers who have come together to learn, teach, respect and love blogging. Blogging is made unique by people who are unique. They all have different voices, thoughts, ideas,

Chicken casserole

2011-09-02T12:00:00.001-04:00

I know it has been food overload the last few posts and I am keeping it up. This post is actually long overdue. I had made this casserole when Kamikazi's nephew (he is all of 10 year old by the way) came over to spend a week with this favorite aunt (I would like to think) and uncle. It turned out to be a bit dry. But husband dearest insisted that it tasted good. If husband said good, then it is

Pizza to Die/Kill for - 5

The name: Flatbread Co. The Location: Bedford, MA. The last time I had posted about my favorite pizza place it was exactly a year back. A lot has happened since then. Exciting, amazing and downright depressing things. Sorry. I digress. We were talking about something really important. What was it again? Amazing, melt in the mouth, thin thin thin crust pizza. Pizza fanatics and non-fanatics

I am so hopelessly swamped right now! We are moving to Delaware, I have friends that I have to meet, I need to finish the produce in the refrigerator, wade through piles of stuff that we have, pack, unpack, repack, throw, give-away, entertain, search for a new apartment, finalize an apartment, pick out outfits for my trip to New York for the IFB conference, have fun with Tanvi and the girls, try

Foodgasms in Montreal

2011-08-26T22:57:00.000-04:00

Montreal is foodie heaven. I ate. I died. Came back. Ate. Died again. Came back again and then blogged about it. I will take you on a gastronomical tour of Montreal through pictures. They are an assortment of my phone and DSLR, so please excuse the pixels. Eggspectation is an awesome breakfast/brunch place that we came across on our way around town. They have a fantastic variety of egg dishes and

Second day in Montreal. Walked along the old sea port. Hogged on some more culinary awesomeness. Surrounded by people of all races, cultures and beauty, all of them speaking Quebecois. Quebecois is so so sexy. Would love to learn that language. Oh! And calling all fashion crazy people. St. Catherine street is a mecca for the shopaholics. I shopped. Ah yes, I shopped. Found some new favorite

{Top~Fab India/Pants~Ann Taylor/Heels~Steve Madden/Necklace~Target} Husband gave a huge surprise Thursday morning. Dropped the bomb that we have to leave for Montreal the next day. Did I mention that it was our Anniversary on Sunday? Very well timed trip. Considering that we will be moving soon. Montreal was a blast. I can not believe we are back home already. I hate it. I want to live in

Black and swirly

2011-08-11T03:00:00.002-04:00

Things that come to my mind when thinking about the color black: Beauty, sexy, simple, elegant, radical, shadow, dark, light, sophisticated, mysterious, untapped, secretive, seductive, manly, feminine, hidden yet in the spotlight, infinite, royal, majestic, magnetic, alluring, eternal damnation. I can live in this color, breath in this color, live my life in this color. Ironically makes me

This is a story about a rubber band, pencil case and a red utility jacket. One day these three items, totally different in character came together to form something very unique. An outfit. An outfit when first viewed by Dip-tea's friend startled him and made him look at her again and again to figure out about what is actually going on with this outfit. Double-takes and startles ensued. Alas, no

Cooking does not intimidate me. The day did. We had a string of misfortune bad luck yesterday. It was one of those days when you decide to do a couple of important work and it blows up in your face. Very bad for the

Like every ambitious a normal? girl, I married a very handsome guy at a very early age of 21, for the pure joy of being a home-maker, not doing much and being remunerated (for not doing much, I must remind you) by him buying me shoes. Do you see where I am going with this? What I am trying to say is: I am a spoiled brat, I set very bad examples for good people like you and you should not follow

Comfort wear on the day tornado watch was declared in our part of the world. {H&M top/Talbots jeans/Madden girl lace-up booties/ASOS boyfriend watch} I have been wearing this top so much lately it looks like I need to find a replacement soon. It is showing signs of wear and tear and well Kamikazi is tired of seeing me wear it almost twice a week this summer. In his eyes justice will be served

Summer nights

2011-07-25T20:51:00.001-04:00

Summer nights are the best. They are light, crisp, has a cool breeze and makes ice-cream taste better. Especially the coffee flavored ones. The smell of fresh cut grass, the sight of sprinklers, braids, grown-up lemonade stands, BBQ parties, road-trip movies, great company; everything is better on summer nights. This is my go-to summer outfit. Cannot go wrong with the linen shirt, skirt and

Lunch

Kamikazi is in-between projects right now. So he is at home. That's right. Vacation time. Now that he is home, I have to cook for two at lunch time, which was never the case before. I used to make do with left-overs, snacks or whatever I could get my hands on in the pantry slash fridge. The thing is, I like cooking for two at lunch-time. Maybe because I haven't been doing it more often. I like

I am going to type the first thing that comes in my mind. Be patient with me. Diplomacy, maturity all these words are utter bullshit. These are just stuff that allows you to fit in to this dysfunctional world that we live in. Good deeds are all you need to live this one life to the fullest. That is my one simple philosophy. I am not in this blogging business to win a popularity contest or to

I have been late in posting about this. But come on! Better late than never right? Right? These pictures were taken on Monday before we left to see the fireworks.
