Usually, my consumption of food is accompanied by joy, happiness and peace. If I’ve ever deviated from that state of peace, I’ve used food, both the preparation and the eating, to bring me back to my equilibrium. There’s something spiritual and almost trance like about cooking for me that transports me to my happy placeContinue reading “Emotional Girl Eats”

Peru
I’ve taken a longer than anticipated hiatus from writing. I’d made a resolution to take up way too many hobbies and make several permanent lifestyle changes and writing got de-prioritized. I’m still eating a lot, that hasn’t changed and so I’m hoping to bring back writing every month about everything I’m eating and everything I’mContinue reading “Peru”
New York City
My first time in New York was in 2008 and I hated it. I’m trying to remember what my expectations were. My guess was that it was going to be cute, quaint and romantic, a seed I’m sure was planted from the many romantic comedies set in New York. I was here with my familyContinue reading “New York City”
Indian Restaurants
I just ate a massive meal (4 onion uttapams and 3 squares of Trader Joe’s dark choclate with almonds) so I think I can write about some of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in America without wanting to eat / cry. Pre @visheatsdelish, I barely took any pictures of the food I wasContinue reading “Indian Restaurants”
Self-Care
Summer is upon us. Big hair, sweat everywhere, the smell of sunscreen and constantly debating if I need a light jacket, ultimately deciding to wear shorts and a jacket. I don’t love the heat. American dream aside, I moved here for to be far away from the tropics but I didn’t account for global warmingContinue reading “Self-Care”
Slice
There was a time in my life when Slice meant a brand of thick mango juice. Today, I think only of pizza. After I moved to New York, I became obsessed with perfecting my pizza and also finding my favorite pizza spot. I think I have now done both. I moved to New York lateContinue reading “Slice”
Date Night
Ah Valentine’s Day. I don’t think I’ve ever celebrated V-day in a big way until last year. Last year, my best friend whisked me away to a hotel room where we got Chinese food (I also remember getting yelled at by the restaurant for not tipping enough on Chinese New Year) and watching Justin TimberlakeContinue reading “Date Night”

Birthday Cake
I celebrated my 27th birthday yesterday. I’m always excited about getting older but no number has felt quite as big as 27. I understand it is pretty obvious observation to make but this one feels like a real almost-adult age. I moved into a new apartment recently to live by myself for the first timeContinue reading “Birthday Cake”
Working Lunch
Of the 7 meals I eat everyday, lunch is the meal I eat at my desk 5 days a week and when I’m most distracted. It’s the meal I exclaim “Yum!” at the least and also when I never do my happy food dance because I’m at my desk working. The last time I didContinue reading “Working Lunch”
