The Taste Tinkerer

Adventures of the palate

Alright, A-Kay, this post is for you :-) Here are my 10 secrets, if you can call them that:

  1. Writing posts that require me to bare my soul makes me extremely squeamish! This post qualifies… ;-)
  2. If I see something yummy on TV or magazine, regardless of which part of the world the dish is from, I HAVE to try it. Right now, I have to find a place in the Bay Area that makes Arepas. Any ideas???
  3. I love checking out new grocery stores or farmers’ markets. These qualify as “adventures” and “fun” in my book.
  4. I love a simple meal of Dal-Chawal, especially on cold or rainy days or days I need some comforting.
  5. If there ever was an award for eating vegetables (any kind- even veggies I’ve never eaten before), I’d be a strong contender for it. I love all veggies- even the dreaded Karela.
  6. I enjoy witty repartees- not too good at them myself, tho…
  7. Snakes send the chills down my spine- cannot look at one without screaming filmi style!
  8. Travel is about experiences- nature, cities, food and people. I would love to live in different countries to experience them in their totality. Paris and Venice are by far my favorite cities in Europe.
  9. I can watch food network or any channel with cookery shows endlessly. In fact, these days I watch little else…
  10. Lastly, I do not like it when I’m given instructions or told that things HAVE to be done a certain way. 
Phew…this was hard!  One tradition I will follow is to pass this along- TC, Sreelu, Mythreyee and Mansi, you’re all tagged…
