But amongst all the shifting and setting up,I lost my camera(which explains the quiet here)which I guarded with my life.My heart says it is here somewhere hidden but the fact is,it has been missing for over a month now..so!!To top it all,my microwave stopped working all of a sudden.So till I decide if I need a new one or repair this one and get a new camera for myself,I am sorry this space will remain hungry:((.

Too sad to hear it Divya. It should be somewhere among the pile. It happened to me when I shifted home. But found it. Hope you start feeding the blog soon. A very happy new year.

ReplyDeleteHello Divya,
ReplyDeleteIts nice to know you are well settled in your new home.
I have tried a lot of recipes posted by you and the Tiramisu cake turned out to be a piece of heaven.
Hope you find you camera and the microwave starts working alright. Waiting for new recipes from you.
Cheers!
Shilpa
PS: Ofcourse, it would be great if I win the tava :)
Glad to have you back Divya. Congrats on your new home and good luck finding your camera!
ReplyDeleteHey Divya,
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back. Congratulations on your new home. Please do post a few pics of your abode na? Would love to seem them. Hope you find your camera somewhere . I know how it feels to lose something you are so attached to.
About my favourite cookware, the cast iron heavy Tawa is indispensible to me and I always make my dosas in it. Never tried a non-stick tawa to make dosas. *Do you smell anything fishy here??*
Regards,
Seema
Divya, The giveaway tempts me :) Have one question. This " Hard-Anodised" thing, is it similar to non stick cookware?
ReplyDeleteWaiting for ur space to be active again..

Happy new year to you and your family Divya and sad to hear that you lost your camera and i feel it will be there in one of the piles. I know how much time it takes to unpack and set the house the never ending task. wish you all luck with setting up the house and also looking forward for great recipes in your new kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI use mostly prestige and futura non stick tavas and handis they r my favourites. Good luck with everything
Good luck with the camera hunt. I lost our wardrobe keys when we shifted and am yet to find them (its been 4 years now). I know its there somewhere in the house, but god knows where! Praying that you have better luck with your camera.
ReplyDeleteAs far as cooking utensils go, I spotted a ceramic coated induction based casserole in the Prestige showroom recently. So that is going to be my next buy :)

ReplyDeleteI am in for the giveaway..I love kitchen things..
Ok, so I'm a regular reader of this blog (delurking now), and I especially love the cake recipes. My favorite cookware would have to be my Prestige 12-cup Bundt pan. I wasn't finding any good ones where I live in Bangalore and so when my hubby went to the UAE for work, I asked him to get me one. He called me up from the store there and described it in great detail just to check if he was getting me the right one. What's more I asked him to cart back an additional one for my brother who loves baking as well.
