Published by mythili at 5:08 pm under Asparagus,Beetroot

Heya!

It feels so good to finally be able to blog. Life has been somewhat of a challenge the past few months. Doing my best trying to comprehend and moving on..

Anyhoo, it was a beautiful day today and I made beetroot rice for lunch. It was wonderful to cook in the warm kitchen. I had some fresh asparagus that I picked from the local market a few days back. Roasted them in olive oil and garlic to go with the beetroot rice.
