Apples galore!

I love fruit based recipes! Just saw some really interesting apple recipes on The Frugal Girls website. Can't wait to go and buy tonnes of apples and get cooking! Especially excited about the Spiced Apple Cider; watching the rain from a window with a steaming mug of hot cider... perfect!! Find more apple recipes from The Frugal Girls on the link below -

Drunken fruits: Sangria love!

Anybody who knows me well enough knows how much I love sangria. 

White wine, red wine, rose all types of sangria work for me. Wine soaked apples, green apples, oranges, green grapes, purple grapes, pomegranate, lime, passion fruit, strawberries all are welcome to my glass(es)/jugs/pitchers of sangria!

The best Sunday afternoons are spent in the company of the husband and sister and glass(es) of sangria; cooking with sangria, watching TV with sangria, eating while sipping sangria, singing with sangria, listening to music with sangria! The first thing prepared on Sangria Sundays (even before the morning glass of hot water and lime!) is the perfect pitcher of wine and fruits followed by an interminable wait for the fruits to get suitably 'drunk'!

While I am a big fan of homemade sangrias for the simple reason that there is ample room for experimentation, my favourite sangrias are found at Cafe Mangii for the freshness of the fruit, Woodside Inn for the yummiest sangria and Indigo Deli for the potent(est) and most interesting sangria combinations and Ivy for the pitchers!

In the meanwhile, cheers, let's drink to that!
