MBP - Mixed Drinks Round up

My heartfelt thanks to all those who went patrolling the other blogs for drink recipes this month. When I came up with the theme Mixed Drinks for MBP, I was not sure what to expect. I was secretly hoping for some cocktail recipes, but my ever resourceful fellow bloggers came up with some really creative entries for the event.  Whatever you are in the mood for- hot or cold, cocktail or moktail, thick or thin, fruity or milky- you can […]

A Fruit A Month - Lychee Round up

When I announced the Lychee theme for A Fruit A Month event, not everyone was happy! Some of you actually hate these fruits (SHOCK!!!) and some of you (spoiled lot ;)) only like the fresh Lychees! I had a choice - pick a more popular fruit and make it easy for everyone. But what’s the fun in that? I like a tough challenge, if at least one person decided to try Lychees because of this event, and if at least […]

Thanks to all those who participated in the AFAM poll. Sorry dear Lychee haters, but the clear winner is this tropical beauty also known as Litchi.
