Mac n Cheese wit cut up hot dogs


The week gone by was one of the most hectic weeks for us in recent times. Needless to say that when Friday arrived, both my husband and I were breathing a sigh of relief so to say! But to add to this, I was pleasantly surprised to return home on Friday and find him busy in the kitchen making one of his favorite dishes. He is very comfortable around the kitchen and he enjoys cooking occasionally, unlike many Indian men. 

So Mac and Cheese takes about half hour to bring together and can be a great comfort food for a Friday night. 
Ingredients for Mac n Cheese:
  • 2 cups of elbow Macaroni
  • 3 Tbsp of Butter
  • 1/4 cup of Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried Rosemary
  • 1 and 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Spring onion- 4 stems, chopped roughly
  • Garlic- 4-5 cloves, roughly chopped
  • Green Bell pepper or Capsicum- 1 chopped
  • Hot dogs- 3, cut up 
  1. First boil the macaroni according to package instructions.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add the spring onions and garlic and fry for a minute.
  3. Stir in Flour, salt, pepper and slowly add in the milk.
  4. Cook until bubbly, adjust the salt as per palate and add the hot dog cut up pieces.
  5. Add the bell pepper pieces, add thyme, rosemary and some more crushed pepper.
  6. Add the cheese and stir to bring it together.
  7. Drain and add the macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to coat.

At Jamjar Diner's on Friendship's Day

We visited Jamjar Diner's on the first Sunday of August, also known as the Friendships day, well whatever it is called we just need a reason to meet our friends. Due to it's increasing popularity the place was packed with guests that day. But we didnt budge either, since we had zeroed in on the location beforehand. We chose to wait our turn for about 20 minutes.  There happened to be about a small area in the bar section next to the big black telephone.  We ordered our craft beer of Gateway Brewery whilst we waited. I ordered for a White Zen while my partner went with a Doppelganger . He is already a huge fan of their beer. The drink was very refreshing, and I absolutely adored mine.  White Zen of Gateway Brewery at Jamjar Doppelganger of Gateway Brewery at Jamjar There was a huge turn up on that day,as it was a weekend.

Day trip to Pompei from Rome!

Italy for travelers is like a  treasure trove! There is so much to see and absorb that time falls short. Southern Italy is known for it’s beauty- the Amalfi coast , Naples and the Island of Capri are gorgeous and cannot be missed. And in the heart of all of this, lies the 2000 year old ruins of a city named Pompei. Of course we have all heard of Pompei, of the thriving Roman city of ancient times which succumbed to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 79 A.D. and the city with it’s people were buried under ash and rock. This allowed for an exceptional preservation. Although the excavations are still underway, what we get to see are marvels in architecture and art. For a traveler who has planned a few days in southern Italy, Pompei would be easily accessible. All you need to do is reach the Circumvesuviana (which is a circular train line) that runs around Naples to Sorrento. It will take you there. On the other hand for travelers (like us) who have largely planne...

Stuffed Bagel with Chicken Teriyaki

This is a double whammy of a dish. It is simply my take on a stuffed Bagel , one could stuff it with their desired kind of ingredients. I for one love the sesame crusted Bagels, to go with my Chicken Teriyaki . It is quite a simple dish, yet full of flavor and serves as a heavy snack.                                           Stuffed Bagel ready to be eaten! A good Teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. Our homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling. MARINADE for the Teriyaki Chicken 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar 2 teaspoons minced fresh Garlic 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger 2 teaspoons Sesame oil 400 g boneless, skinless chicken...
