It's been a hot and hectic summer for us. A family reunion, a road trip that included cabin and tent camping, the aftermath, and summer camps for Medha that included a cooking camp. I now have a very enthusiastic helper in the kitchen. We are now into the third week of school and all the extra curricular activities will move into full throttle from now on.
Even though it isn't officially fall, we're slowly slipping into fall-like weather. The nights are cooler and while the days are warm, they aren't as hot as summer. And it is still perfect weather to watch summer fade away, armed with a drink and lots of bug spray out on my patio.
My drink of choice lately has been very reflective of summer and bright colors! Blue Haze.
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz Blue Curaçao
- 1 oz Triple Sec
- Lemonade to top off (entirely optional, according to me, as it dilutes the drink!)
- Slice of lemon or orange as garnish
These colors remind me of
The Daily Tiffin makeover. If you haven't seen it yet, you should check it out as soon as possible. Hats off to
Suganya and the DT team for putting new fire into a blog that is an amazing resource for tips on healthy living.
I wasn't sure if this should be my entry to
CLICK: Citrus, for which I am fashionably late. I can't even claim to be operating on IST because that is 11 and half hours ahead! But since I am a judge and my entry will not be scored, I am hoping the
CLICK Gods will forgive me my offline commitments!
I seem to have hit an all time low this past month in the department of inspiration. I've taken pictures of lemons and oranges before, many times. My two favorites are:
The first of these two is my second most interesting picture, has the most favorites and comments amongst all of my pictures on Flickr. It was, however, largely ignored when I submitted it to DMBLGIT.
The second one could have been executed better and I hope to get to it one of these days.
I did want something more and I think I hit it with this picture, which I call
Lime Light.
It's different from my usual high key and since I do love to be in the lime light, in the virtual world, I think it is a fitting entry to CLICK: Citrus.
Now, if I weren't so late, I'd ask you to do your bit and post your entry soon. You still can, just make it
something crusty, ok?
