I’m Back! You didn’t think I’d left you forever, did you? I’m sure you know why I’ve been gone. It’s been one big depress fest since the pandemic began and so I haven’t felt like writing about treats. That said, we’ve needed them now more than ever. So, resolved: I am going to try to write entries to share with you whenever I find things worth sharing that make me...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I am trying my hand at writing a fiction novel. Who knows if it will go anywhere, but it’s getting my creative juices flowing and I am enjoying researching aspects of the story! The bad news is that I have been spending all my spare time working on it, which means I have not been...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Sometimes I feel guilty for writing this blog. Why? Well, unless you are a Red Sox fan (which apparently Mindy Kaling [above] is and many in my new home city are), life today in this country and (in many others, incidentally) feels heretofore inconceivably messed up. I won’t go through the litany of problems/divisions/destruction (of people, things, ideals, securities, environments) we are forced to confront on an almost...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, I am not gonna front. I am probably the least qualified person I know of Indian descent to write a post on cooking Indian food. For those of you who never or rarely make Indian food, it is that very fact that should inspire you to try some of the recipes I will be posting… because if I can do it, anyone can! 🙂 Before I delve...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Before I continue the blog next week with Mo’ Money, Part 2: Books, I thought it would be a good idea to shake off that theme for a week in favor of something more comforting that we should all enjoy this fall….making an easy, not-overly-indulgent (calories-wise) pie with the apples/pears or other homegrown (or orchard grown) fruit. Now before those of you who know me well get all skeptical...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Have you missed me? I hope so! I was MIA from the blog because I was on a summer holiday with my family. Clearly, I enjoyed it a little too much because I came back to Boston having gained 4 pounds! Ice cream, pasta and throwing caution to the wind will do that to you, I guess. I don’t regret a single delicious thing I ate, but I...
Greetings, Treat-A-Weekers, If ever there was ever a need for bursts/breaks of escapism in our lives, that time is now….which brings me to my recommendation of Sweetbitter. Premiering on the channel, STARZ, only 1 season of this 6-episode show has been released (but I am fairly certain a second season will follow) and it’s based on the national bestselling book by the same name by Stephanie Danler. Danler is one of the...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, I am so excited to share my blog post this week because I am coming off of a joy-filled, gorgeous weekend spent with my extended family celebrating the biggest religious holiday of our year, Eid, and writing this blog will make the good vibes last longer! Eid, is an Arabic word meaning “feast, celebration, or holiday” and the Eid my family and Muslims around the world just celebrated...
(My version of the [skinless] roast chicken and chickpeas) Ever since I was in junior high, I pretty much dreaded Sunday nights. Sunday nights meant an end to the weekend break, fun, rest or socializing and lots and lots of homework. Our family of 5 growing up often had very busy weekends, but my mom, a pediatrician, somehow almost always made the time to create and feed us a yummy...
