Sharing some of my favorite Aftertastes - Walnuts to Butterscotch

Walnuts & Butterscotch is Like the Perfect Marriage!

It is not an exaggeration to say that I have slightly overactive taste buds and a mind that obsesses over the smallest things. The natural cynicism and the love for food makes me a reasonable authority of sorts to share opinions about simple foods that we tend to ignore or just don't explore enough...one such food is walnuts and its small pool of companions. I have this obsession with keeping a log of things I taste, more of combine them and bite into them, and those that have a wonderful aftertaste tend to make a bigger dent in my mind. I feel the aftertaste aspect is largely ignored in contemporary food preparation that is too much about the aesthetics. There is no real aftertaste to savor after washing down a big, sauce-dripping burger with a cola? Yes, you might feel full to the brim but all things subtle and sacred, gastronomically, are lost! 

Guilty, First-Time Offenders: Couldn’t French it Perfectly!

DIY French Toasting with Wife

I am not talking about the perfect kiss – this is another food-heavy exploration, fresh from today’s morning spread. I must have shared that eggs find a prominent place in my daily diet, essentially for breakfast and every time I run out of ideas. Lately, me and Moha have been exploring how to make the humble omelet or scrambled egg more engaging. The results have been rather good. We have salad-i-fied scrambled eggs and created omelet-like cheesy egg preparations that are exotic and nutritious without much prep time. Today morning, we tried making French toasts. Moha does not like the odor of eggs but she cooks them for me with the enthusiasm of a curious toddler. Our first effort today was rather simple - we wanted to make classic French toasts without too much experimentation.
