Can we patch the ozone hole?

Though might seem to be a stupid question but given a thought it is very intriguing. Especially, in this time of advanced technology, it would probably be a disgrace(to science and technology) to say that it is impossible.

Probioticitzing...

This is a great sambhar recipe I found in an Indian news website. It has buttermilk which is a good source of probiotics and is great for digestive system.  So the fact that this recipe has a good portion of probiotics and is healthy, I've decided to include it in my 'food exploration mission'. If you didn't read my previous blog, last weekend I resolved to try a new recipe every week. In this process, every week I will be picking recipes from different parts of India and trying them out. The idea is to pick regional recipes that are unique, so that I could play around with different ingredients and my taste buds, and of course a recipe gets extra points if it’s healthy too! This Sambhar recipe fits perfectly in my exploration of finding authentic Indian recipes.    Here's sharing buttermilk sambhar recipe , that looked great to me and Im pretty sure I will be trying it very soon!:)    Buttermilk Sambhar (source: cooks.ndtv.com)

A Special Rakhshabandhan Gift (August 16th 2008)

This festival is a symbol of bond between siblings, of brother's vow to protect his sister and sister's prayers for the well-being of her brother.  Although its always been fun tying Rakhis and accepting gifts from brothers, for some reason while performing the ritua...

Soba..Ahaa!

Here's another food post.... Being completely swamped in my dissertation, I persuaded my brother and sister-in law to send me a care package. Since, I work all day in the library, I literally survive on coffee and bagels/muffins/scones. I knew if I got some food from my brother and sis-in law it will probably be the only 'good food' in my diet. The package arrived a couple of days ago and I was pleasantly surprised by all the goodies it contained. Although I am too excited about each and every content of that package, of all the great stuff, one of things that I wish to talk about here is.... SOBA.          Soba is Japanese noodles mostly made from buckwheat. I first heard about it when my brother and sister-in-law were preparing to leave for their trip to Japan and China. I was a bit concerned about what their food options, so I decided to met with one of my students who I knew was from Japan and shared my curiosity with him.   I told him ...
