goan connection.....

I'm from the land of not only sun,sea n sandy shores et all (minus d heat n humidity) but also salted fish and shrimps n mango seeds n "bimblis",(all is a luscious creamy goan curry )that let you try ur hands at loads of traditional delicacies,starters and salads n curries(but not in ahurry )main courses all at once!!my hearts in this.............so much of choice but am never spoilt for it in all things salted ,dried ,preserved or otherwise in our hot goan sun!

my hearts in this too!now before you conjure up a general picture that goan cuisine n me is just about salted salties n d likes,lemme get alive n churning ,coz kicking i already am, there is much more to goan cuisine and me,seeped in traditional cooking (complimented with goa-portuguese culinary delights)that you dont often bump into though! my heart is here too!

but once u'd know d true flavour of that luscious curry,generous helping over a mound of local rice,with d perfect balance of home grown spices ground on d huge grinding stone in your backyard n simmered on wood fire,oh u'll go in there again n again n again!!!oh ,d goan mango curry ,they make it nowhere like here(but then belive me when i say that havent had it anywhere else to know,hehehe)well humour aside,its simply perfect the soul of ur typical goan meal,goan shrimp or just outa d sea fish curry,rice n fried shrimps n fish lunch,with loads of "side" additions...my hearts in this too!!!

the tangyness of the green mangoes doesnt bring out but completes d rich smoothness of the freshly squeezed coconut milk n local prawns,tiny dey may be(d big good things come in small packages applies here,replacin things with taste n flavour n packages w local prawns ie),just invite you to pile on d fat rounded local rice onto ur plate, as ur already enjoying the aroma thats long doing its rounds rather strongly i mustn forget to add!!my hearts in here too..............well is it my feet ,hands and head in too many boats.....well not literally coz it all comes down to pouring oevr pots n pans n more...n where this is concerned i 'd love to be wholly on every single boat giving it my bestest shot...........some day truly

this ia another long list that i love ...in my heart...love to cook ,clean n serve n vice versa! Cooking,baking, shredding, mincing,whisking, whipping n all its sciences excite me = more than just interests me! ! !


so does exploring nature and plonking myself on the beach chair(under a huge shady umbrella) sipping chai n pakoras(cheese i like i like) or cafe e emphadinhas e pasteis or lime water with sandwhiches,gazing at d varied hues d setting sun has to offer ,one of the very few of natures amazingly perfect and bountiful gifts....

n yeah with that i remember photography,all the above mentioned n below i live to photograph so so much


n now that brings me to writing n researching every topic thats holds more than just my interest!!!!

At times ,from this distance on a height i feel like am walking or floating on air....

and ofcourse shopping for anything connected with the above(very restricted u see) right from ingredients be they day to day,cute or exotic, to kitchen tools to interiors to good perfumes!!Oh it thrills me to bits & tickles me pink......


this list can go on but i want to tire none so FULL STOP here..........

Ever so often when i gaze into nature as this,i feel on top of thw world,like on cloud nine floating on 7th heaven.......
