chicken lettuce soup & the 'sneeze season'

a newsletter with recipes, book/OTT suggestions & an 'art' announcement

What is that one allergic reaction that has been the bane of your existence since childhood? Back when I was in school/college, come March and I would start the day with neck-spraining, back-breaking sneezes (I remember counting and hitting a 25) that were loud enough to wake the neighbours. That loud announcement happened unfailingly between 6.30 am and 7.00 am - and while that was absolutely fine during school days, come summer holidays, it hurt my heart. Because these sneezing fits would last through summer, and sneezing meant 'rise and shine' as the parents (being typical Asian parents, a term I'm identifying with a whole lot whilst watching 'Singapore Social') were all about utilising the summer holidays to max! Over the years, I grew out of the entire sneezing drama - or so I'd thought - until this February when I've been sneezing my head off owing to the weather change + renovations all around. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it passes on because the back simply cannot handle the jerks anymore! And on that note, I go back to the question I started with: "What is that one allergic reaction that has been the bane of your existence since childhood and how do you deal with it?" For me, hot drinks and soups seem to be doing the trick, with the latter being a good way to get the parents - especially the mothership - to eat 'foreign vegetables'. She's got an aversion to trying newer veggies like broccoli, lettuce, bok choy, zucchini and more. And while I respect that, I can't help but remind her that she needs to try them. Cue 'reverse parenting' and attempt recipes that'll convince the parents to eat the veggies and prompt a 'Lettuce Trilogy', which was the highlight of February. Check them out and if they seem interesting, bookmark them and drop a comment. And if Instagram is where you belong, find me there and say hi. Also, a friend is putting together a charity art exhibition so if you are based in Ahmedabad or nearby and want to be a part of it, check out the poster. Until next month, Rapti B Smoked Chicken & Lettuce Soup Part two of the Lettuce Series as I've dubbed it included throwing things into a large pot to put together a soup – the kind that makes life a whole lot better and well, bearable. The Chicken Lettuce Soup isn't a planned recipe but it's the kind that, after you've sampled, you realise needs to be shared with the world. Or the little pockets of the world this blog reaches.   READ ON FOR RECIPE Things to cook in March LETTUCE SOURDOUGH-WICH A lettuce and cheese-loaded sourdough sandwich that's a tasty, filling way to start the day.
