I remember the first time I was served oatmeal in a carton coffee cup. Not conventional but it made your fellow New Yorker happier and way more productive. When I didn’t have time to make breakfast, I would just pop in and get a cup of oatmeal. But the cup isn’t what made it convenient. What made it convenient was that it was a smooth oatmeal sans oats and easy to drink. But of course, it still tasted like oatmeal.
Many people aren’t aware that the best time of the year to eat citrus fruits is during the winter. They’re readily available and cheaper during the winter season. It is believed that oranges, tangerines, blood oranges, and even lemons taste sweeter during the winter. Winter time is the perfect time to experiment with citrus fruits as well.

They’re definitely sweeter when they ripe so let…
I don’t know why or how I started ordering Belgian waffles along with my usual breakfast but it happened and I never ordered regular waffles again. To me, Belgian waffles taste better.

First of all, they don’t come served on a dish. Prepare…

The first time I kneaded dough, I was following a video of Julia Child. However, the instructional video didn’t work out for me. I took longer than I was supposed to in kneading the dough and just gave up making anything.…
What a cold night this was. The great thing about Paris is that you don’t have to sacrifice being outside for staying warm. With the heaters above the tables, you can sit outside even during the winter. We decided to stop by Café de la Régence. Many say it’s good place to stop by after visiting the Louvre. We didn’t visit the Louvre but we just needed somewhere to warm up and drink hot chocolate. The hot chocolate here was so cute as it was in the shape of a flower as seen below. If I remember correctly, the hot…
