One thing my grandparents really wanted to see was my college. Since it was super hot outside, I decided to spare them from the campus tour. We settled on looking at the garden and park areas instead!

A Trip to America: Let’s go to the Beach

One good thing about North Carolina is that we have a lot of nice beaches. And luckily for us, we are pretty close to the Outer Banks. A few years ago we went out there to see the wild horses, which I blogged about here.

A Trip to America: The Waterfront

One of the last things we showed our grandparents in our home town was the water front. One because it was really pretty and second because we don’t really have much else to show in the town. Nevertheless, they seemed to really like it.

Things I Heard In Medical School: Volume 1

After finishing a term of medical school, I’ve come to accept the fact that sleepless nights and forever present stress are my new friends. I don’t think I’ve had a solid night of sleep in 4 months. Or a real meal for that matter. Continue reading

My grandparents really liked the boats on the docks at the Dismal Swamp, so we decided to take then on a ferry ride in Norfolk, Virginia. The ride itself was around 15 minutes each way. It was cool to see the city from a different perspective.

Last summer my grandparents came to visit us from India. The goal was to show them as much as we could in our little small town and the areas around it. Our first big stop was Nauticus, a marine and Naval Museum in Norfolk, Virginia. Continue reading

Fireworks on the Waterfront

DSC_0510

One good thing about living in small town on the water is that when the community gets together, it turns into a warm, loving atmosphere. This year for the July 4th weekend, a lot of my family came down to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate Independence day than to watch the fireworks at our town’s waterfront?

Recipe: Meatless Meatballs

DSC_0356

I’ve always wanted to have meatballs with pasta. But being a vegetarian, that wasn’t really an option. So I decided to make meatless meatballs! This recipe took a long time, so this isn’t something you can cook up an hour before dinner — allow the entire afternoon for this (and a few hours more). I spent around 6 hours on this dish.
