Peaceful Goa.....

Yes that is how I like it! Just lazing around in different locales at Aashyana Lakhanpal! Right now having tea in the characteristic verandah, looking on to the green cover under the coconut trees, with sounds of the birds and the sea. Not for me the noisy part of Goa--the streets full of humans, vehicles, et al. Getting ready for the ayurvedic massage before relaxing by the pool......

I Love Broccoli.....

The simpler the preparation, the tastier it is!!
Just cut into florets and chop the stalks to size (they are the juiciest bits). Boil some water, plunge the prepared vegetable into the boiling water...let it come to boil again and quickly drain out the broccoli and plunge in cold water. Now is the fun part. Just before serving put a dollop of butter in a pan, throw the broccoli in, sprinkle some salt and pepper, toss to mix and serve....yum!
