In my last post I was talking all about London’s “Little India,” Southall. Well, when I go to Southall, though there might be many exotic places to eat, there is only one place that I ever really want go: Shahanshah. In English, the name of this restaurant translates to “kings of kings.” Quiet frankly, that is exactly what their samosas are. I double dog dare anybody reading this blog to find more delicious samosas than these on Planet Earth. Seriously… they are that good.

Mini Maple Pancake Muffins
I love to check out what Bakerella is up to. She really is an artist with teeny weeny foodstuffs. Bakerella is most famous for her cake pops. I have bought all the stuff I need to make them, but the ingredients have been sitting inside my cabinets for many a month. Her newest creations were [...]
Housewife in a Hurry: Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Most things you can buy in America, you can pretty much find here in the UK too (although sometimes its more expensive). But you know what I haven’t seen? Really good pretzels.
