Malaysian-Inspired Pork Chop Delight
Today's
culinary delight features pork, a personal favorite of mine. Despite my
affinity for all things porky, I've noticed a peculiar trend among my Indian
acquaintances - they tend to shy away from pork, with many having never even
tasted it. The prevailing perception seems to be that pork is a
"dirty" meat, although its place in Hinduism, or lack thereof,
remains largely unexplored.
In my observation, the reluctance to try pork stems from a preference for familiar foods among Indians - the cuisine they grew up with holds a special place in their hearts. Even my husband, for instance, abstains from pork without being able to articulate a specific reason why. It's a curious quirk of human behavior, isn't it?

Kerala Pepper Chicken Curry (Kurumulaku Kozhi Curry)
I mostly travel solo, (JAIPUR MAGIC & TAJ MAHAL AGRA) though there have been times I've joined tours with familiar faces or traveled with a married couple who are older than me. I prefer solo adventures, whether it's joining group tours in countries with language barriers or when safety is a concern. I also always sleep alone, even on tours with people I know or don’t know. This approach has taken me to a good number of countries, driven by a passion for visiting legendary sites and tasting diverse foods.

Inner Peace or Happiness: A Personal Choice
Inner Peace: The Calm Harbor
People who like inner peace find it comforting. It's like an emotional anchor that keeps them steady. No matter how crazy the world gets, they feel stable inside. It's all about feeling relaxed and in harmony with themselves. Inner peace doesn't go away when things get tough. It's always there to lean on. It's like a friend who stays with you, even when times are hard (Intriguing Mindfulness).

How To Design A Vegetarian Dinner Party Menu
Throwing a dinner party is the kind of thing you definitely want to get right, and it’s really something of an art because there’s so much planning and hard work to put into making sure everything goes off smoothly. However, when you get it right, and everyone has a good time, you’ll feel great and proud of what you’ve done, and your guests will have a positive and memorable experience.
If you have a vegetarian guest, it isn’t always easy to make one dish just for them, and what could be an easier option is to design an entirely vegetarian menu. Not only does this make things easier for you, but it’s probably not something your veggie guest has ever experienced before, so they’ll love it. Plus, if you choose the right food and cook it well, your other guests will enjoy it too, and it might even show them what can be done when meat’s off the menu. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you design a vegetarian menu for your dinner party.

Sri Lankan Fish Curry/Malu Hodhi - Boosting Mental Health with Tradition
Ms. Nava presents a cherished Sri Lankan dish - Malu Hodhi/fish curry (MIRIS MALU/SRI LANKAN CLAYPOT FISH CURRY) While she may not be a culinary hero in the traditional sense, her passion for cooking and dedication to preserving authentic flavors shine through in every dish she prepares. Cooking is more than just preparing food; it’s about nourishing the body, mind, and soul. Did you know that the food we eat plays a significant role in our mental well-being, subtly influencing our mood and overall health?
Curries, rich in spices like turmeric, ginger, and chili peppers, offer more than just a burst of flavor- they’re also believed to support mental well-being. These spices have long been appreciated for their comforting qualities, making curries a popular choice for those seeking warmth and balance. When it comes to fish curry, the benefits are even more pronounced. Fish, especially when simmered in a spicy, aromatic curry, is known for its nourishing properties, helping to uplift both mind and body.
