Just made it tonight for my guests, and yes, I made it with Quinoa. They loved it. I did not have white wine vinegar. Just used regular white one. And, also threw in some garlic powder. MMMM.. Hope the leftover taste as good tomorrow.

I would love to have more recipes like this one. Easy to assemble, protein rich, with summer vegetables.

Our doctor actually advised against humidifiers for this reason only. Though our kid is allergic to dust mites, molds etc. What has helped is dust mite proof cover for the mattress.

Love the linen idea. I am going to keep that in mind.

I am burnt out too. We are Indians, so it started for us from October, then after a month long festivities, Halloween, and then the big move.

So, now, this holiday, since we are so tired, and so broke, we just have the smallest Christmas tree for the kid, a gingerbread man to decorate. Santa she says can bring whatever he wants.

I am just going to "hang", as they say in America, with my dearest and nearest.

I am one of those proponents. Can not understand dirty outside shoes that have been at every public bathroom stall, stepped on dog-poo, accidentally rubbed on a cigarette butt on my carpet where my kid is playing.
So, yes, I am a shoe-off proponent.

We grew up with the parents in the living room, and the kids in their own bedroom. We were from Delhi. To have a bed of our own is luxury enough, a room is sometimes a dream. But that was there, and now we are in USA. No judgment.

Next question.. since I am considering this.
How do we secure the closets to the ceiling in the bedroom video?

Check them out. These are the Indian version of Elmo trained by Martin Robinson and Noel MacNeal themselves.

I hope I can see them once I visit India.

Yes, thousands of Marie Claires can become clutter, and some of those "people" magazines I can see being a problem. But I would hate to put books as the first thing to be seen as clutter.
Sometimes, when I walk in a reader's room, it reverberates with stories, history, and yes, new ideas.
It is the other kitschy item, that we bought on our many trips way before we learned better that I would like to see gone.

You are inspiring indeed. This room makes me go ahead and take on the challenge. Seems like any child would be happy in this, as it would tell them how they are really wanted.

Ikat is from the state of Orissa in India. It is these common diamond pattern that was woven into, initially, beautiful sarees. We grew up wearing them, loving them. So proud that I am talking about it in AT. Hopefully, the poor artisans are getting at least one tenth of what the designers are making here.
