Celebrating Passion for Food
Right at the onset, let me make this revelation here. This recipe of coffee is not for everyone. Does it bothers your taste-buds when someone sneaks in a different brand of coffee in your kitchen cupboard and your coffee suddenly does not taste same anymore?

The mornings have become nippy and days have become shorter. The month of November has gone by gradually and indolence has seeped in all around. No one gets spared by this sluggish air, even the effervescent Sun seems to be too lazy to rise in the mornings and eager to pull down its curtain in the evenings.

Cuisine is a testament to our evolution.

Saturday mornings are when I prefer snuggling in the bed a little longer. However, last Saturday, my thin quilt could not keep me warmer and the overwhelming breeze from the ceiling fan moving at highest RPM meant that the room became too cold and I had to get up to switch off the fan. It is then, I realized that the coolness was due to the overcast condition that the morning sky had.
