Who would have thought that there would come a few days when Kingsley and Kingsley alone would get to reign in the kitchen. All Beula would get to do would be to rest and recognize the ingredients by the smell (and she got all of them right YAY!) While Beula gets some days off to recover from the flu bug, here is a recipe from Kingsley! We have wanted to eat some Chayote (chow chow), so here is a recipe from Kingsley's recipe book :)
So what is a Chayote - it is quite tasteless but is treated as a squash. It is rich in Vit C and potassium

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating!Thanks for visting my spot!
