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...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

I still remember, I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
