I found an unopened jar of this delectable, locally made chutney in my refrigerator the other day and immediately opened it to enjoy with some takeout Indian food. I imagine I originally purchased it at either the Honest Weight or the Troy Farmer's market - either that or the chutney fairy visited my house while I … Continue reading Miss Sydney’s Indu Chutney

Mulligatawny Soup
a little mortar and pestle action - coriander seedsI've got a thing for Mulligatawny Soup. With my first pregnancy, it was my number one craving, and just like the pregnancy stretch marks, it's never gone away.

Naughty vs. Nice (or Date Night with 2 Lilly Boys)
Before I share my impressions and experience as a spectator at the Slay Belles Rollerderby event this past Saturday night, I have a confession to make... I'm not always nice.
