Look how greedy Gulliver gets!

I may not have brought all the recipes home yet, but here's to an organ called stomach and a feeling called heart. Some clicks on the way. Have your fill. Will keep you lured. That's a promise.

Greedy Gulliver came back with Soup in a breadbowl!

In America, the best way to get around is to hit the road. Especially around the Fall. I believe, no matter how much you plan, some places are just meant to be part of your journey, some places that were nowhere on your itinerary. One hungry detour was to Sedona.

Sedona is a geological marvel of a place, characterised by red-rock monoliths named Coffeepot, Cathedral and Bell...even Snoopy - because of some striking resemblances! A wildly wonderful place that lies at the mouth of the Oat Creek Canyon, home to some of the largest Ponderosa pine trees and is just a little diversion enroute to Vegas, which is where we were headed. God bless the diversion. Camping and picnicking, nature walks, treks, fishing and boating, horseback riding, birding, golf, state parks, sightseeing, museums, shopping for antiques and tribal stuff - just choose your trail and let Sedona take over you. Trust me, you'll happily give in. For the stay, my pick would have been the cozy inns or better still, the camps by the river. Much to my heart's discontent, this was just a pitstop for us.

A constant roadtrip can leave you very hungry and someone like me, very greedy too! You come to a point where you want to stretch every muscle and just attend to belly needs. Beyond the magnificence of this place and the generous weather during the Fall, what really got me hooked about this place is a simple and down to earth soup in a bread-bowl! Of course we'd been having the bountiful beef burgers, mesmerising mexican platters, large hearted breakfasts at i-hop, pork and turkey sandwiches at the malls, but what really trapped my tastebuds was this simple and absolutely delicious presentation of perfectly made thick mushroom soup (in this case) in a bowl - made of bread! So while you slowly savour the soup of your choice, you also get to scrape off the gooey soup-soaked bread with it. Now that may not sound very appetising, but you would believe me if I said it was simply sinful, wouldn't you? Go love yourself and add that tiny dollop of butter and crush some peppercorns generously. A crunchy greek salad or a sandwich with it is my idea of a perfect lazy wintry meal.
