S’more Cookies in Town

P.C: Mediocre Baker/Suzal Gurung

So I happened to accidentally find this page on Instagram. It popped up on my newsfeed with a cookie delight that I just couldn’t help but glance at.

S’more cookies it read.

Silky melty dark chocolate with toasted marshmallows on a delicious gooey cookie base.

Now, having the sweet tooth that I do I notice that that this is new. We do not have s’more cookies here. Needless to say, my curiosity got the best of me and I sent in a DM.

I waited for my order. I could not wait to get a hold of those cookies. And when they did arrive, I was beside myself with joy. These huge cookies looked so inviting packed and tucked neatly. Every bite screamed delicious triumph as I got a hold of chocolate chunks and toasted marshmallows. Someone rightly named them s’mores, inspired from ‘some more’ because I definitely want s’more cookies for me!

If you’re familiar with s’more you know that they are a popular snack with campfires in a chilly evening. So it was no surprise that these cookies were becoming a favorite winter snack among people.

“The Mediocre Baker” has a profile full of interesting cookies that look too good to be true. Red velvet cookies, double chocolate chip cookies, snicker doodles and so much more. And the story behind why it’s called the Mediocre Baker was something I caught up with only about a day or two ago. The person considers themself a mediocre or someone who is still learning and not that professional. But god when I took a bite of that s’more cookie, I came to a conclusion; the mediocre bakers really underestimate themselves. They are anything but mediocre. Yes, the cookies are that good. While the price of one cookie is a tad bit high; I assure you every bite is worth it. These cookies are exceptional and not like anything found in the market.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
