Sev-Ampersand

Over the weekend M decided to make something crunchy, snacky 'Sev' or the so called 'Bhujiya (in North-India) for little D and obviously for us too. These are basically crispy, salty and mildly spiced (specially since one year old D can't take a lot of spice). They are in either straight or circular depending on how you move your hand while making it. Considering it was a first time experiment they turned out really tasty and are a good munchy stuff while surfing, reading and watching TV etc.
While I was reading and enjoying my snack; I felt something odd, uneven in my mouth. What caught my attention was this unusual shape. To my surprise it was none other than our favorite 'Ampersand'. It was completely unintentional and a surprised which M was totally unaware of.
Here is a darling '&' with her portfolio. In some angle it also look like a person sitting in leg-folded position.


Here its a tool which created this masterpiece. It requires hell lot of energy and pressure to get noodles from its nozzle.



And here are the nozzles—to get different kinds textures, patterns etc.



Next time, intentionally will try rest of the nozzles to create Sevography.

Edible Letters

Apart from lettering+calligraphy and Bollywood movies, I have another passion for FOOD! No... I am not talking about my culinary skills, but I am talking about how food makes me peppy and charged! Yeah I am total FOODIE! I love to eat and experiment new food. Being a vegetarian I have a limited choices but I still manage to find some way the other interesting things and combination to satisfy my hunger.
What if my these passions come together, lettering and food? letters created with food? Don't be amazed just have a look at these images. I did this small experiment in office kitchen when our cook was serving evening snack. (Yeah we are one of the luckiest studio where we get homemade lunch and snacks and n amount of teas and coffees as per our *demands*)
Here are the Palak Chillas (Spinach Creps) converted into letters:

This is Devnagri letter 'e'.

 This is Devnagri letter 'a' (not the apple 'a').

This is Roman letter 'A'.

This is Devnagri letter 'a' (Yes the apple 'a').

It was complete fun and a good break between office work. Thanks Dayanand for letting me use kitchen and Rikta for helping to shape my letters.
