Soulful Creations

My scrape with jewelry making began when an undergraduate in the lab wore earrings that she had made, her mistake- telling me that jewelry making is easy! Well it might be easy but definitely not a hobby that can be sustained on a grad student salary. Somehow I have been keeping it up- although I now am trying out new territories of jewelry making, the one thing I sort of cannot do is color coordination, so it takes an unimaginable amount of time to create one piece of jewelry. But I am hoping some of these creations of mine would fetch me some moolah to keep up with this pursuit. Just to show off- Turqoise magic and cool gal's cool blue

I really like the idea of a monthly blog patrol coz I surely have a lot of recipes to try out from different blogs. I have decided to submit this recipe from Archana's Kitchen for the MBP- street food . Lot of fond memories are associated with street food, so I thought it would be a nice start. My dad who still travels a lot gave me a list of foods that he has devoured on the streets of many cities Indian and foreign. These chillas were not on his list though! Dal chillas (since I used 4 different kinds) What went in it 1 cup yellow moong dal 1/4 cup urad dal ( I mixed in some urad dal with skin and some green moong dal ) 2 cups
