  2. Thank you Reshmi for dropping by.
    I understand what you mean by little more space. Even Aparna said the same.
    In a freak coincidence I took a picture of quinoa too, but as the pictures were quite so many, did not post it....saved for some other time.
    I like the chocolates and the Kale particularly.

  12. Wow i like all the above clicks, but the one with turmeric is looking just super. I SO envy your skill. I m not patient enough to plan and take proper clicks. The minute my bakes are out of the oven, I like to share and dig into it :D.

  13. I missed this exercise... I'm late but I'm hopping around to see all the linked entries...

    I really like the effect of turmeric on that background...I find the spoon distracting but I can't really point out why...

    I totally love the Kale, Quiona and the grapes...
