Am i the only one who blotched this cake :) The prep to oven time was approx 10~15 Mins , but then my issues began. At 180 Deg C, 45 Min, then 55 Mins - I did not get a clean skewer at the center , and as I kept baking ..I ended up with a very browned outside. I also had issues with the color ...was it because I used vegetable oil instead of olive oil ?? Any help will be appreciated :P

Bacon Never Will go out of style ...

Are these the same as ramps?

Once a week, more, depending on how much is going on in between!

BTW - Quirky Piece on How I found my Favorite Manufacturer's factory outlet..the factory does sheets for all hotels in India..I found the shop by looking for labels when I was staying in these Hotels :P

Having lived in Delhi for a long time , and having seen most parts of Delhi, from Student Digs to a lovely house in GK..I agree to most of what Katie is saying.though an Indian I was not from Delhi so it took getting used to ..like she is doing right now. Some of her observations are actually true in most cases,

White Paint -White Washing in India is usually done using Lime Slake, with Blue in it, hence the tinge. And I have also had to take things into my own hands , when I painted, the land lord's favorite colors in Delhi , are butter Cream, Dark Painted Wooden Doors and Beams ..it all but closes the house.

Agree with Cooped up Houses, most houses in Delhi other than the South Delhi are built like trains, one room leading to another and then another , side windows , corner windows are but a luxury..so I can't understand how people drag up , " We worship the Sun"? Yes old houses , especially in South India, have deep courtyards, but in Delhi ..no I don't think so.

on Using White - a house is where you spend most of your time especially if you are working out of home like me, so you want a peaceful palate with accents ...especially In a place like India, where you could be overwhelmed with color everywhere..so I love the idea of a serene restful space, that can be jazzed up.

The only thing - I hope she has a few domestic helps dusting around , gosh the dust can kill!
