Transitions. Over a year since my last post about food. My photography continues but has definitely ebbed. Poet and Flower celebrated another birthday. Time seems to stand still during the long days but you look up and it's been a year. Where has the time gone.

Their birthday was a milestone and G designed special robots for the occasion. To be specific little 3 D printed doodle bots that held 3 colored markers and danced around like little excited kids.

Their birthday party was bittersweet. Growing up. Some kids too big to admit they still enjoyed cake and bouncy houses. While others jumped happily away. And in a few years the bouncy house will be relegated to the proverbial basement. But I will savor it all until it lasts.

Transitions. Slowly doing less food blogging.... And more simply photographing. I love photographing food and this has grown into still lives and abstract photos.

Sap, Syrup and Community - Maple Masala P**l

The trees towered above them. The canopy stood high above and dwarfed Poet and Flower. Flower was carefully carrying a a very full bucket of sap when plop, she tripped over her feet and fell into a sweet, sticky mountain of maple sap. She was drenched, covered head to toe in tree sap.

Kindness Counts - Set Dosa

She said I'm sorry, but it was too late. It all happened so quickly, and I was a little confused. Sometimes a sorry just isn't enough. The damage has already been done....

Some Boundaries are Meant to be Pushed - Aloo Bonda

Boundaries surround us. They are everywhere. Driving to work - stop signs, stop lights, and double yellow lines in the middle of the road. And they exist in our lives both literally and figuratively. There are boundaries in our professional and personal lives, things we can and can't say and can and can't do. How do we know when a boundary can be pushed or not?

I'm back! It's been a little while. The last few months have been busy with work and family, family and work. I've been working on a new blog design. Super excited to have moved over to squarespace. Check it out! Tell me what you think.

Christmas traditions. A friend asked us about our Christmas traditions. I was puzzled and quickly thought we didn't have any. Ahh, but we do. Our friend Is Indian too, with strong roots and traditions from India. Her question was not an insensitive one—instead, an honest question about how our family traditions have changed.

Gnomes in Disguise - Spicy Lamb (Besan Gosht)

I sometimes think that children are really little gnomes in disguise. One moment they are adorable little children, and in a flash, they have turned into little creatures ready to wreak havoc and destruction. After all, I spend most of the day trying to keep them from seriously hurting themselves, flitting from one dangerous stunt to the next.

Going to the Beach (Again) - Chai Apple Crisp

It's the most magical place on earth. Or maybe the greatest; I'm not exactly sure what the phrase is. But Flower clearly did not think so. She climbed into her stroller, pulled the shade down with a flourish, and went to sleep. She was hot and tired and decided she had had enough.
