Boiled Lentils with condiments This recipe belongs to my father, I don’t even know if it is recipe or figment of his imagination.

Halloween just went away last week and I trotted away in a venetian masquerade eye mask. I followed my cherub (my DD as I love calling her that) from one doorstep to the other saying ‘Trick or Treat’. It was a chilly evening but it hardly dampened the spirits of these kids.

I am an ardent reader of the news either online or the hardcopy.Apart from global news I stumble over these columns too. Some are really serious and others really crappy.
