The time I thought my husband was proposing
It was 7 months into our relationship. Sanjiv and I were having dinner in New York City. We chatted and ordered drinks and an appetizer. The next thing I know, he pulls out a ring box from his pocket and places it on the table. He looked at me, smiled, and waited for my reaction.
I was stunned. Shocked. Nervous. Very nervous actually. In my head, I was thinking, “it’s too soon. Why is he proposing now?” Had he proposed to me 10 years earlier, I would have been super excited with a proposal after just 7 months of dating. Back then, I took marriage lightly; I didn't fully understand the idea of marriage.
I picked up the box and opened it trying my best to remain calm. It was a classic round band that resembled a wedding band, not an engagement ring. Now, I was really confused. In my head, I was thinking, “heyyyyyy, this isn’t even an engagement ring... I hope he’s not proposing.” I know, I know, I sound stuck up, but it’s true.
He fooled me!
He looked at me and said, “it’s a Promise Ring. Did I scare you?” I looked at him so relieved and said, “YES! 7 months is too soon.” He said, “actually, it's not too soon when you know.”
My husband knew before me. I was always cautious because I knew that if I married him, I would have to move to California. Moving was an intimidating idea and I wasn't sure if I was ready to leave my family and home on the East Coast. I loved dating him, and in some ways, it was the perfect relationship. He would fly over from California to see me and we would enjoy the best date nights in New York City. It was one of the most magical times of my life because I had the love of my life, my people, and my city all in one place.
Fast forward time and here we are in sunny California celebrating our 5th Valentine’s Day together. I still reminisce about our first Valentine’s Day which is still my most favorite Valentine’s Day to date.

how to make rose cardamom coconut pancakes recipe and raspberry butter step by step?
1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients... flour, baking powder, cardamom, salt, and sugar. Stir and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl - combine the wet ingredients... milk, egg, rose water extract, and melted butter that's slightly cooled. Stir well.
3. Make the raspberry butter - combine softened butter, raspberry, and sugar. Mix well. Alternatively, you may use a strawberry instead of a raspberry.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, now add the wet ingredients to the dry.
4. Mix, but DO NOT OVERMIX. The batter will form little bubbles and look a bit lumpy, this is OK.
5. Add coconut. Gently fold into batter.
6. Heat up a castiron skillet on low-medium heat. Once hot, spray with Coconut Oil.
7. Pour a ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. I cooked two at a time. Once bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes later, flip the pancake.
8. Cook 2-3 minutes until the pancake is cooked is golden brown. Make sure it is cooked in the center. The key is to cook these pancakes on low and slow. Repeat the process until there is no batter left.
9. Serve immediately. Top with homemade raspberry butter and sprinkle powdered sugar. Alternatively, you may use maple syrup if you prefer.
