Not a Leaf, but Wedges it sure is!

I came across this incredibly pretty and not to mention delicious blog called Not A Leaf written by a very pretty girl named Aparna. She loves photography and you can see it in her paisley printed blog.

I came across her blog by chance and I saw this very simple recipe of potato wedges which was exactly what I needed that dull gloomy day. You know, one of those days where all you want to do is munch on something hot, while you read a book snuggled in the softest throw and look out at the rain? The potatoes came out perfect, steaming hot and crunchy.



What you need:

Three or four potatoes cut into wedges
1 tsp of olive oil
Salt to taste

I used chopped up cilantro too. I love the taste and smell of cilantro.

What you need to do:

  • Put all the ingredients together in a big bowl and toss them till the potatoes are coated with the salt and oil and bits of cilantro.
  • Arrange them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Use a fork or toothpick to check if the wedges are cooked.
  • After the 30 mins, switch the oven from bake to broil. Broil till the potatoes are evenly browned on both sides. Broil for 5-7 minutes.
  • I squeezed a lime on the wedges. Cilantro and lime potato wedges! Delicious!

In-vested in a tennis court

This post was going to be pun heavy. I am not kidding. I was thinking of the perfect pun title for this post, because:
a) I am wearing a vest
b) The shoot happened at the tennis court

Some examples are mentioned below:
a) This outfit was a love game.
b) Advantage Dip-tea.
c) Match-point.
d) Acing the vest.

I had come up with a total of 30 of these titles. I chose to share a few because I don't want to bore your fancy knickers off.

As usual, like most of my outfits, this outfit is grey peppered with blue. You guys have to accept me the way I am, grey peppered with blue or not. I have always been a tomboy and it's kinda difficult to deviate. But I love my choices. So there is that.

On my Facebook page I had asked for suggestions about whether I should cut my hair or not. I have decided that I will let my hair grow out some more. The heat was getting on my nerves and taking care of my hair is a real pain in the ass. Especially in summers. I prefer washing my hair twice a week, but during summers I have to up the ante. Which sucks. Because my hair takes up a lot of my time and attention. They are not easy to manage. And frankly, I am not used to my hair being this long.

Thanks a lot for your opinions you guys. Although, my next hair cut is definitely going to be a pixie. :)

Love,
Dip-tea

What's in my bag?

Today I tell you what's in my bag. Like most bags, it carries a ton of stuff. From pain-killers to totes. Don't believe me? Look for yourself!


What you will find:

Ray Bans

Guess wallet and Stylecaster tote 
(in case I end up shopping or visiting the library)

Pink lip gloss, Red lipstick and lip balm

Keys and a wrist-watch 
(I carry one in my bag, because I don't always wear them)

Pain-killers

Pen and crayons 
(you never know when you will need to color!)

Tweezers, black eye pencil and Salvatore Ferragamo perfume vial

Pocket-bac (anti-bac by Bath and Body Works)

Comb, hair ties, tic-tacs and mini-toothbrushes


These are all the things I carry in my bag no matter what. Although come fall and winter, you will find my ear-muffs, a pair of gloves (finger-less in fall, leather in winter) and an assortment of candy, ranging from Lindt to Milky Way in my bag. As you can see, I carry really basic stuff in my bag. Basic makeup that can change my look from day to night. Pain-killers, in case my feet starts hurting wearing heels and crayons, in case I choose to go wild with art.


Now that I have showed you mine, show me yours! :)

Also, A Happy Friday and A Happier Memorial Day Weekend to you!
