it's good to be home!

After two weeks of wonderful break, it is good to be back at the nest. The trip was very exciting and relaxing at the same time - one big advantage of traveling with a baby - can't rush about too much trying to pack as many activities in a day as we would have liked to :-)

We managed to try some authentic Bavarian and Swiss foods both at restaurants and at wonderfully hospitable friends' homes. Spargel (white asparagus) was in season and my friend A was nice enough to cook some up with butter sauce for us one evening. I had it for the first time and enjoyed it! D enjoyed the typical Schnitzels and Bratwursts, and the popular Turkish Döner Kebabs, plus of course, an assortment of local cheeses and beers and wines...

Usually, I try to put in some extra effort before the trip and cook some favorite meals and freeze them so that comfort food is ready when I get back home. This time was no exception. I had made some cholay, arachu vitta sambar, snake beans & zucchini curry and simple potato curry. We will be enjoying these for the next few days...

I am looking forward to trying out new recipes based on the foods I have recently tasted, and of course, post them here if they turn out fine :-)
