Sooo today was supposed to be the last day of lockdown, but in fact it is only the half way mark. We still have another 14 days/2 weeks to go.

Potatoe and chickpea burger
Every minute of every second of every day, I am dreaming about lock down being over and I can finally have a juicy steak or a big whooper burger with cheese and loaded fries.

Dalgona
Growing up in my family was a nightmare. I was the last in everything. The last niece to be born, the last to reach every milestone, the last to get braces, the last to learn to drive even now I am the last, the last to be in a serious relationship, the last to get … Continue reading Dalgona
Not jam buns
Today the millionth day of lockdown, was a day from hell. Technically it was our Tamil New year which meant take it easy day.
