If you find your way to a sunflower field, you won't ever want to leave. For any true flower child, it's like being home sweet home.

Working from home means I can use my gardening as a way to take a break, reset and be a little mindful. Which is lovely. ❤️ Watering my patio plants or moving plant cuttings into their next home; a lovely 20 minute job and the perfect working from home break. 🌱🌿

Welcome to my cubicle! 😁

Got myself a desk and chair earlier this year when Covid was not in the air. Best decision ever! I love working from this small but functional home office I've created for myself. It helps me create a space between the working and relaxing places at home.

I feel if there's something positive that's resulted from this pandemic situation, it's the realization that WE CAN WORK FROM HOME.
No #mondayblues, plus everyday is casual Friday! 🥳

I mean, have you even really quarentined if you haven't made this FLUFFY CLOUD COFFEE, aka DALGONA COFFEE (though, it's worth mentioning that most Indians have been having this since childhood in the form of 'phitti hui coffee' or beaten coffee 😁). 😍

Everyone's been making this. I first saw this on TikTok, so assumed it would be some offensive trash. But actually, IT IS QUITE DELIGHTFUL, extremely caffeinated, and worth the arm workout ( I would have whisked it at least a 1000 times), especially when finished with a dusting of fresh ground nutmeg and cinnamon. ❤️ //RECIPE:
☁️ Add 4 tbsp. instant coffee + 4 tbsp. sugar + 4 tbsp. boiling water to a bowl
☁️ Whisk the hell out of it until you get stiff, puffed up, caramel peaks. Bonus points from me if you use a whisk. 😁
☁️ Pour over milk-of-your-choice and ice

Have you tried this fun #quarentine project yet?

Since it's #worldwhiskeyday - Here's a #throwback

Since it's #worldwhiskeyday - Here's a #throwback to the one time I went whiskey 🥃 tasting in Scotland. Circa 2013.

Edradour Distillery - world renowned as the smallest traditional distillery in Scotland, and definitely the most picturesque. 😍

@edradourwhiskyofficial is a little gem of a place, a sort of distillery in miniature, you want to wrap up and put under the Christmas tree. What is so special about Edradour? The simple answer is that never before has a whisky and spirit of a place been so entwined.

So happy and excited that weekend is here! Yes, weekends still excite me! 😁

Lots of things that I want to do:
👩‍🍳 Do some intense cooking (there's Falafel, Shakshuka, Vada Pav on my mind)
🌱 Repot my rubber plant
🍰 Bake another cake
📚 Start a new book
👕 Fold a heap of laundry
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Starting with binge watching #MoneyHeist tonight while there's beer chilling in the fridge and a frozen pizza in the oven.

What are your weekend plans? 🙂

Today's #foodiefeature includes one of our favorites - Homemade plain dosa with sambhar, coconut chutney and tomato chutney. Always a delight! ❤️ This meal is always in collaboration with @kwlvarun who prepares the dosa batter from scratch. 😇
