It has a mild sweet taste with fresh fruit flavor and is very refreshing to drink. The color also comes in light pink and looks very attractive in glass. This drink is a good alternative to tea, coffee or other beverages at home. It is easy to make and it does not take much time to make. You can try it during summer days and it gives a feeling…

Trade shows and “markets” are clearly the insider business, and one of the favorite parts of my job as a design writer, editor, and self-proclaimed predictor of home trends. So when a friend of mine messaged me at the last minute saying she was coming High Point Spring Market Last weekend, I organized my credentials and hit the road. Lucky for me, the city of High Point, North Carolina, also known as the furniture making mecca of the United States, is only an hour away from where I am in the Raleigh area.I hadn’t set foot in that city for…

There’s a lot going on in the guest cottage that I haven’t shared (or at least not all in one place), and that might be something only remodelers will really care about (or those of you who love learning about the remodeling process). I think the design of the kitchen and what we’re calling the “speakeasy” is at stage “5” – where we have ideas, but we’re still playing with them, so nothing is finalized. The bathroom is almost completely cleaned out (haha), and then all the electrical, foundation, framing, plumbing, and HVAC are gone. This is a bit boring…

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is a soft moist cake made using wheat flour, lemon juice and poppy seeds. It is made using a simple batter and cooked in a loaf pan. It has a tangy taste due to lemon and a slight crunch due to poppy seeds. Its texture is soft with slightly crunchy edges and the crispness in every part is loved by everyone. This cake is a great option for tea time or small gatherings at home and it works well for both. It is easy to make and does not require much material to make it. When…

Well, shit. My mom died. (On Christmas, no less.) The November prognosis of “months” whittled to “weeks to months,” shortly collapsed into “days,” and then she was gone. It wasn’t wholly unexpected – she’d been battling stage IV cancer for a decade, something I never mentioned here – but it was a terrible end to a terrible year. Brenda described the medical complications of 2025 as akin to navigating white water rapids – you’re just trying to hold on through chaos – but now, four months later, I’d compare the last 124 days without her to something like being tossed off…

Honey Yogurt Popsicles are a creamy frozen dessert made using yogurt and honey as main ingredients. It is made by mixing both together and freezing it in a mold until it solidifies. It has a mild sweet taste with slight sourness of curd and is very refreshing to eat. When it sets properly the texture becomes smooth and soft. This is a great option for summer days when you want something quick and cool. It is easy to make and does not require much material to make it. You can serve it in the afternoon and it gives a refreshing…

Brown bread is a soft puffed bread made from whole wheat flour and yeast. It is made by making the dough rise and cooking it until it is completely cooked. It has a mild flavour, a soft texture and a light coating on the outside. When cooked properly, the inside becomes soft and airy and tastes great when bitten into. This bread is a healthy option for daily use and works well for breakfast or snack at home. It can be used for sandwiches, toast or even homemade pizza bases. I usually make this during weekends and it gives the…

While I’m looking forward to my big summer trip to explore a place I’ve never been before, I came across a different kind of international experience on Instagram the other day… a kitchen design idea that I had somehow missed, that was extremely popular in my native country. That’s a great thing about the Internet: just when you think you’ve figured out most things (well, in my case, design things), something simple, practical, and genius comes along and blows your mind. Then I decided to see what other amazing kitchen design ideas I actually haven’t found from around the world.…

Gulab Kulfi is a rich dessert made by boiling milk and adding rose flavor to it. It is made by slowly reducing milk to a creamy thick consistency and then pouring it into molds and freezing until solid. It has a mild sweet taste as well as a soft floral rose flavor. The light pink color also makes it very beautiful and attractive to serve. This pink kulfi is a perfect dessert for summer days and also after a heavy meal at home. It is very easy to make and does not require much material at home. I usually make…

Birdie thanks you readers for this change, and she’s very grateful (and excited) 🙂 Here’s what’s happening. he and i chose this wallpaper Many years ago (she was five when she first saw it), and we both loved how colourful, whimsical and happy it was (just like her). When we revealed the room (when she was 8 or 9) it was about a year later, when she (hesitantly at first) said it didn’t feel right to her anymore. And while I was disappointed, I also should have known better than to turn a child off style-wise so quickly, especially one…
