When you walk by with this and your son says, “Is that some kind of exotic Indian drink or is it just Coke Zero?” ??? Iced tea made in my Instant Pot so I told him it was an exotic Texas drink. Made with Masala Chai tea bags.
Travels
Did well eating low carb on travel day
Trying to lose the extra 4-5 poundss from Belize and India while also traveling. I did a 16-8 eating schedule yesterday and today. This means I only eat between 12 pm – 8 pm and drink water and coffee the rest of the time. But really you have to eat low-carb while doing this, because…
Some women buy handbags…
Some of us look for vanilla extract and hot sauce. My haul at the Belize airport. I opened up the vanilla to smell it. It smells delicious. Much more fragrant than the one in the States that reeks of alcohol. Perhaps this isn’t pure or whatever but I’m happy. I’m also so very happy to…
Home cooking and Bikini body
(Have you joined https://www.facebook.com/groups/1655518377797363/ yet? Twosleevers group for international recipes where you can post and discuss) I am not a cheapskate but on this vacation in Belize I must say I keep adding up what we are spending for average tasting food and realizing that for five days for three people, it would have been…
Good Food in Belize today
After rather disappointing meal last night, I must say we’ve had some good food in Belize today. Stuck with the basics like jerk chicken grilled at an outdoor stand, and Belizean stewed chicken which I must learn how to make. So tender and juicy! I’ve eaten way too much today and gotten zero exercise But I…
Aaand we’re home!
Well at least for the next 48 or so hours. Hope you guys have enjoyed the virtual tourism. This weekend I need to cut carbs and calories to make up for the crazy carb-heavy meals from the last week. But that’s not a bad thing. I’ll share whatever I make. Hope everyone is getting ready…
Glimpses of Mumbai
We didn’t get a chance to look around too much, but I took some pictures as we went that I can share. First up our lunch destination. I found a small little super authentic place for Gujrathi food. Amazing food and the best food I had at any restaurant on this trip. They come by…
Headed home today
We’ve had a great trip to India. But I am SO READY to head back home tonight! I’ve had so many good ideas for recipes for the IP while in India and no way to try any of them. I’ll be home for less than 48 hours before I have to fly to NY, but…
Pune to Mumbai
It’s about a 3.5-4 hour car ride through some mountain ranges. You pretty much have to stop at the halfway point which is a “food mall” as a ritual. I’m going to share what we saw there. Yeah, subway, KFC & McDonald’s 🙂 But I had Mcd as a client for 3+ years and I…
South Indian breakfast and Sleeve capacity
Ate at the hotel for breakfast today. On top is a masala dosa (whose batter can be fermented on the yogurt setting ) with tomato chutney, coconut chutney and Sambhar which can be pressure cooked. Bottom photo is idli which uses similar batter as the dosa, papaya, paneer fritter, sheera (also can be pressure cooked)…
Another Day, Another Indian Food Orgy
When you have to take two photos, just to get all the various dishes for dinner in the shot, you know it’s a big day. Last night at home before we head to Bombay for work and my SIL outdid herself. Roger and I eat so little, it’s funny for us to see so much food…
Veggies from farmer’s market labeled
Okay I went back in and labeled as many of the veg as I could on this post, if you want to have a look. https://twosleevers.com/2017/05/is-it-ordinary-or-exotic-indian-vegetable-market/ And if you haven’t already, don’t forget to snag your copy of the Indian e-cookbook. It’s gotten rave reviews, and it’s only $3.99. Less than a Starbucks coffee, with…
