Few things are as satisfying as this…

Every month or so, cleaning up four fountain pens and filling them up with different colored inks. If you threw a writing pad at me at that moment, I would probably sit down and write a letter immediately – to nobody in particular… just to get that incredible feeling of the metal nib brushing against that fine paper.

Sharmila is usually scared to death that I will spill some ink and permanently destroy her marble top in the kitchen island. Especially with that glass of cocktail within an easy reach!

Admittedly, there is some satisfaction in that too 🙂 🙂

Bay Breeze with a twist

Instead of pineapple juice, I went with mango juice. So, that would be vodka, cranberry juice and mango juice. Less of a fall drink and more of a summer drink. But what the heck, Sharmila has bought all these fruit juice cans from an Indian store…I felt like I needed to do some justice to them before the expiry date!!

From the barista’s corner: Coffee from the 14th country – Australia

Another prized gift I picked up from my best friend of yesteryears while we were in Australia was this bag of coffee. Australia is not very famous for coffee production (has a very high consumption of coffee though). Most of today’s coffee plantations are not even 50 years old and are in a small area in Queensland and New South Wales.

Opened the coffee today. It is less acidic and bit on the sweeter side. Loved the fresh aroma.
