Roadside is draped in the brightest and the rarest shades of colours one can ever imagine. The foliage is lushest and luxuriant ever.
We discovered flame lily blooming in all glory in one of the moss-laden walls. Albeit poisonous, it is one of most beautiful wildflower.
Ipomoea breaks the monotony of green in every bush and in the lower branches of the trees with its dazzling shades of blue, mauve and pink.
It has been raining incessantly. Our home is smelling sweet as whole wheat crackers are being baked. It is a regimen in our home to bake a batch once or twice every week.
Have them with tea. Have them when hungry at odd hours. Take them along on journeys and picnics. These are vegan crackers. Garlic adds great a flavour along with herbs.
If you wish to make buttery crackers, replace coconut oil and oil with the same quantity of butter.
