Buttermilk Pancakes, anyone?!!!

I did not know that we could buy buttermilk in India. So for the first time, I made buttermilk pancakes for the breakfast. Then why did my family looked rather gloomy?




Oops! We didn't read the fine print (in blue, underneath "Amul MASTI"). It was spiced buttermilk. I made spicy pancakes!

Long-overdue photos of Easter with vegetable-dyed eggs

We did easter egg painting, and a morning egg hunt with our friends!

We also had breakfast together; yummy homemade cinnamon rolls and fruit salad.


This year, we tried natural egg dye. We used turmeric power, purple cabbage, and beets!

Snow Falling in Hot Delhi デリーの雪

The tree with bright red flowers (which, when in bloom, gave Roger such awful sneezes), now formed cotton balls. On the first "real" hot summer day (104 F), the blowing wind created an amazing snow-like scene. It reminded me of a quiet snow day in my hometown in Japan.

家の前にある真っ赤な花を咲かせていた木ですが、コットンのような種を実らせています。40度を超えた初夏、強い風に吹かれたコットンは、雪のような風景を作り出していました。札幌の懐かしい雪を思い出しました。
