Happy New Year! Hope this year takes you closer to your goals and helps you accomplish all that your heart desires. I know it’s almost the end of January and here I am wishing you a very Happy New Year. But I believe, it’s never too late to send good wishes to loved ones. I have missed this space terribly and I apologize for being away. And today I am typing this sitting at the HongKong airport as I wait for my flight to SFO.
I had to make a quick trip to India to drop off my mom. She wasn’t too confident of making the trip by herself and I did not want her to be stressed. Hence, this was one helluva short and hectic trip. I was in India just for 5 days. India trips are never easy for me and they take a toll somewhere inside. There has not been one trip where on the way back I have not been filled with self-doubt. The sad eyes that say good-bye to you with a brave smile on the lips are hard to leave behind. The guilt blinds me with tears every time. In fact, I see this saree clad old lady sitting next to me now and I am terribly reminded of ma.
Crimini Mushrooms Recipe – Parmesan Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms
This time, the main objective of my trip was to get ma settled. Being away from one’s own space for 6 months can mean a lot of cleaning and sprucing to do before regularity sets in. I insisted that we eat out on many occasions, just so that we can focus on other things. And it is always such a joy to eat out in my hometown Kolkata. And not to mention the nostalgia-ridden street food. And coincidentally, on one of those days my parents-in-law were celebrating their marriage anniversary, so that was one delicious home-cooked meal I could sample too. All in all, a short but a very rejuvenating trip it was for sure.
The Crimini Mushrooms Recipe that I am sharing today is a special one. A renowned Bengali food magazine featured it. It is a very simple appetizer, Parmesan Stuffed Crimini Mushrooms Recipe.
