Queen of England and I share something in common,  our liking for the afternoon tea. (pun intended) I am in love with my cup of tea. Tea is like a best friend  who always gives me comfort and  smile on my face. A cup of tea always sounds good when you wanted your brain to relax with the body. Late afternoon time is the best time to relish it because you are done with most of your morning chores and the prep work for the evening is also done.

Company is always welcome but during my afternoon tea I like to be with myself, my I-Pad or a  good book or a show of my choice. These kind of “me time” are important as they keep you connected with yourself rejuvenates your mind and make it clear and ready to tackle with why, what, where, when questions of your child.

well, its not just tea the whole setting with the tea is also important. Neat quite corner to relax, steaming ginger tea(my favorite) in my most liked color cup and sometimes a light food to munch on like a good cookie, tea cakes or a light sandwich. Sounds like a heaven, right!. I am lucky enough to have these me-time that keeps me going and most important connected with you. Yes! this is the time when I relax, think, talk and share with you. Sometimes I bake for myself to make this special time more special. Like today I am sharing this delicious recipe of pound cake with my favorite two things- lemon and coconut.

"Food is not about impressing people, It's about making them feel comfortable." I still remember when I got married & came to US first two days I don’t have to bother about food, we were eating out and then we went to grocery store & there the reality struck. Its not that cooking was a new term to me but cooking with out taking instructions & help of my mother & grandmother was something new and different. Newly married, nervous but with lot of confidence I cooked bhindi (okra) & burnt it but my husband M ate it like nothing happened though he didn’t say anything but I felt really bad. That day I realized that I used to cook before but all on my mother’s instructions. That means it’s a new world to me and has to start cooking from scratch without my mother’s help. M always been very encouraging to me & till today he is my guinea pig. And i like cooking for him.
