Ain't no shame momma.Today was one of those mornings. I woke up to a shrill little "YEAAAAAAAAAKKKKKGURGLE" in my ear. LO (little one) was wedged between the beds and trying to wake up/ poop in the process. I rescue her, give her a kiss and give her to Hubby to have fun with till I get her food ready. By ...

Been a very very long time since I wrote something on the blog... :) But moving and being busy doesn't really help. So becoming vegetarian (again) wasn't really something I saw my self being capable of doing, because come on Australia has so much of wine, and with wine comes cheese and cold cuts.. But once I put my mind ...

I've started subscribing to all things food recently, be it bite-sized (pun intended) recipe how-to videos on FB and foodie channels on Instagram and on and on. This makes me super hangry most of the time BUT also inspires me to get into the kitchen to try my hand at a few of them. One such recipe is the "Key ...

We ventured up to Kalpitiya a few weekends ago since a few of us hadn't gone dolphin or whale watching at all. The drive itself is not too bad, being just 3 hours or so away from Colombo... but travelling with a 5mo old is an entirely different operation! She is generally a non-fussy baby but 3 hours cramped in ...

SUNDAYYYYY is BAKE DAYYYY!!! I am a nutter for anything with nuts so this time around I thought of using some walnuts that I have been wanting to make use of. The earthy taste of walnuts goes well with coffee so I decided to make MOCHA WALNUT CUPCAKES!This recipe makes 20 cuppies, more than enough for you to stuff ur ...

1. What's morning sickness like?I have no idea. Never had it. I think MS depends on person to person and I was one of the lucky ones to never have it. I was instead nauseous for the whole first-trimester. The smell of Thai or Chinese food made me want to hurl. Hubby used to force-feed me so I would eat. ...

The hubster (because the "move" was broken in to two) he may take some time to make his move. this all depends on finding work etc.gah!friend!new ones!living life like ...

After two glorious days at Cinnamon Habarana with my in-laws, we are BACK with a vengeance to lose the extra pounds (yet again). Of course going to a hotel on full board means some amazing food and variety that you just can't say NO to (like blue cheese!) - and Cinnamon is by far NO exception. The continental food was ...

So Jacqueline Fernandez (I'm a fan) has opened a new restaurant Kaema Sutra at the Independence Square arcade with the overseeing of Dharshan Munidasa of the Nihonbashi and Ministry of Crab fame. When I initially heard of it, the name stuck and I thought, hmm pretty clever and cute actually. I was also pretty excited about a restaurant which claimed ...

Too rad :)All you triply Colombites can buy it here if you like... :)

Aside from the ones given to family and good friends, real hugs are pretty hard to find. You have the peck on the cheek while holding the shoulders kind of hug, the check to check kiss-half hug, then the half-hearted hug, then the worst one, the awkward hug. I recently met a musician friend of Hubs at La Fiesta and ...

Just like christmas, new year, mothers day, fathers day and now Valentines day!! Life has become so commercial!!!WHY!No one will know. I think its because no one has time to really say how much they love one another!Valentines day doesn't really need to be about your "lover" it is everyone and everything around you!!!Why can't we just love! unconditionally! unrestrained! ...

Time spent at the Dilmah t-Lounge (DTL) is just pure pleasure. No this isn't some sort of paid post (though Good Times would LOVE to get into that! Teehee)... I just really love the place.Starting off with the little things...it's Valentines weekend apparently and the place was already decked up with little classy touches of rose, red and pink. I ...

I always try to make it to the Kala Pola, organised by JKH because its a really good place to appreciate good local art and maybe even pick up a thing or two :D I also like taking pictures of art which really catches my eye, amidst the copies of Senaka Senanayake, George Keyt and the likes. Like this one, ...

Its been weddings galore really... from December till End of January (for now) and I'm really tired!!! But nevertheless, which girl hates a beautiful wedding!?! but the entire year is filled with weddings of good friends... what is a wedding really, other than 2 people embarking on a mysterious adventure of discovery... and us, their awesome friends making it a ...

Good one! And they really must bring back the ban on smoking in public spaces. Clubs in Colombo are like a lung cancer deathwish.

I was pretty shocked when I saw the branding done by Leather Collection/ Cotton Collection with huge Christmas baubles with the wordings I Need...I Crave...I Desire... Seriously thought, where has the meaning of Christmas gone to? It's full of cheap marketing consumerism and women dressed as sexy santas. Eugh. I guess Jesus Christ is not 'cool' enough...Religious holidays should just ...

I was always intimidated by cream cheese frosting so I never got around to making anything which I could use it on... but then A super close friends birthday came along and I decided to try something special... (also because I had cream cheese at home :) )So here's my recipe with a few tweaks (from lanka) Best Red ...

I received a mail today from a friend about "LIGHT UP A LIFE" this Christmas - Kiddies party organised by the Rotary Club . I dutifully forwarded the mail to my colleagues and something my colleague said brought a tear to my eye.... and I quote "OK I know how my sons Face light up when we take him places ...
