Icy Valentines Day (February 2007)
A major snow-storm hit our region today,heavy snow accompanied by freezing rains made the condition worse.Ice coated tress were falling down,thus causing power failures everywhere,planes were delayed and schools were closed.
It’s snowing here(January 2007)
We were eagerly waiting for a snow fall here,and finally it happened yesterday.Lil’ Milan had lots of fun playing in the snow,infact it was his first experience in life.
Crescent Springs (Fall 2006)
Here are some of the photos which I took recently.
Put -In -Bay(August 29 2006)
We went to Put-In-Bay,a small village located on South Bass Island,Ohio.The island is in Lake Erie,and is only 3 miles long and 1 mile wide.We hired a golf cart to get around PutinBay,did some water sports like para sailing and jet skiing,spent some time in a small beach,saw a crystal cave,winery etc etc..Altogether we really had fun and my little one enjoyed the beach most.He was so happy that he got more than enough Mac Chicken (from McDonald’s)also,his favorite.

Chicago(August 29 2006)
We also went to Chicago,to meet some of our friends.We didn’t get much time in Chicago,but somehow managed to visit Millenium Park, Navy Pier and ofcourse Devon Street,and did some shopping in mallu grocery stores.
Devou Park,Kentucky(March 2006)
Last weekend when the weather was good,we just went out to our nearby Park.Milan was also very eager to go out,after 3 months of indoor living.Devou Park looked beautiful on that day.Devou Park contains 550 acres of beautiful grounds which include a 9 hole golf course, tennis courts, museum and amphitheater.There is also an overlook which offers a spectacular view of Cincinnati downtown.Here are some photos which i took on that day.

I just completed reading your kerala recipies and it is mouth watering. I have been missing the real kerala taste for the last 12 years in Canada. Thanks so much for your entries. I still remember the Christmas Cake (raisins)taste that my mom used to get it for us around 20 years ago, but now a days most of the cakes are made with plum fruits etc. Do you have the traditional raisin cake recipe.
thanks
biju abraham
I don’t know what u’ve meant by a raisin cake..We usually bake rich fruit plum cake efor christmas.Eventhough its name is a plum cake,we dont add any plums in it..It has soo much raisins ,nuts,cherries etc…Here’s the link : Christmas Cake
Thank you for writing to me.

Hey, stumbled upon your site looking for a recipe from Kerala using plantain… and instead found my home in your US photos! I am from Port Clinton, Ohio, which is the mainland connection to Put-in-Bay. Glad to see PIB made a positive impression upon you, to take photos and put them up here… my family has been involved in the promotion of the area for tourism, so I love to see it being enjoyed!
I’ve been to Kerala as it’s my husband’s home state, and it was nice to see your photos from there as well… although the transition from warm Kerala photos to the shots you took during the ice storm in the US were literally chilling!
I love all the Kerala food blogs out there… always attempting new recipes, so thanks for sharing yours!
Thank you very much Lina…Thank you for visiting my blog and for your encouraging words…
Put-in-Bay was indeed a beautiful place..we enjoyed it very much…

Hi Anita,
since december 3rd, you have not posted any receipes. Everyday morning, I opened your site and I am very much dissapointed. Do you still post receipes or you stopped it for ever? All your receipes are excellent, detailed and very tasty. I know that you were on vacation and now you are back, right? Hope I can see your new receipes soon. Thank you anita once again. Looking forward for more yummy and tasty receipes.
may i know your email id?
regards
leela

Hi,
I been through your blog earlier when I was setting up my own named blogsownkitchen.blogspot.com.
Now I was tracking Pazham Pori, a post on your blog. You have done a wonderful job. Your blog is amazing. Please visit mine. My wife Reeja is the host. Right now we have some appetizers only. No recipes. We are coming up with some Kerala style health food especially salads. But the pictures will bring back the nostalgia of home. Just double click and your mouth will automatically widen. Please add our blog on yours if possible. Let others (who are hungry and thinking of food..)also enjoy the pictures. Do not miss my last post which is the typical adukkala of a poor home in kerala.

RAISIN CAKES:
All cakes made in Kerala contain raisins. You have to season/mellow the raisins at least for a month before they are added to the cake-mix. Seasoning is done with run or brandy. Prepare some caramel (blackened sugar). For this, fry a cup of dry sugar in a pan. As soon as the smoke comes out, pour boiled water into it- little by little- so that the caramel does not become solid on getting cooled. To this, add the cleaned raisins and transfer to a bottle. Pour rum or brandy to cover the entire mix. You can also add orange peels- cut and boiled- for taste.
Regards. Sibichan
