Chocolates- the love of my life! Believe it or not but I can't fall asleep without having a bowl of ice cream every night. If not chocolate ice cream, I have to have a chocolate bar every day. Essentially, my day is incomplete with the consumption of chocolate-something.
I miss NY! So much so that even after 4 years of staying away from it and having traveled and lived in 3 other continents, I have not changed the time in my laptop; it still shows NY time (EST). There’s something about that city that always keeps me attached to it.
NYC is amazing when it comes to food, esp. street food. Anyone that has been to NYC, should try the Chicken and rice vendor cart by the 56th street and 6th Ave. It has the most amazing halal chicken and rice. No wonder even at 2am there’s a long line for it. My craving for the mouth watering chicken and rice led me into making the following dish. Today was a beautiful summer day in Sydney- the one where you want to be near a beach, reading a nice book, enjoying the summer breeze and having a light but delicious meal. I skipped the first three things in that line (thanks to the working day) but decided to attain the later.
So after coming back from work, my flatmate and I were pondering over our dinner plans when I saw a fine-looking cooking book on my center table. It’s a lovely book on Italian cooking gifted to my flat mate by her mother for Christmas. I saw a picture of linguini with lemon zest and olive oil. It looked so beautiful and light. Thus, my next entry is inspired by the above recipe. 2012 is here!!!!!!! And this year is all about hopes and fulfilling dreams. I am a dreamer but now I have decided to make use of the 6 letter word that most dreamers forget about – ACTION. So here I am, implementing one dream of mine that is to combine a few passions of life (food, traveling and photography) into one beautiful diary. I am one of those people who certainly falls into the category of “live to eat”. Soon after I finish my first meal, I start imagining my next meal. If you speak to any of my close friends and family, they will vouch for this. Often when I meet my friends, hanging out with me is like going to a food fair for them. We would end up eating 5 times in less than 4 hours. I can definitely say that food is one of my best friends (not sure if it qualifies for a living being, but to me it is almost like one). It brings happiness and solace and is often by my side irrespective of the good or the bad times that life may bring...
