Fruit Cream 420


Fruit Cream 420

Being a foodie that I am I find all desserts irresistible. But knowing what sinful delights they are and one can never get enough of them I have developed this fruit cream in which I have replaced the cream with low fat curd and the sugar gives way to the healthy Honey.
My version of  "Fruit Cream 420"

Vanilla Essence – few drops

Whisk the curd well until smooth
Add & mix the honey in the curd until completely dissolved.
Add few drops of vanilla essence and mix well.
Add the fruit titbits to the curd & mix
Chill in freezer for 15-20 min
Serve in cocktail classes
Or in empty tart shells.

The Wait


The Wait


To wait can be a daunting task
as we live in the fast forward mode 
The time of the remote
In the ad break we switch channels 
Waiting for our flight we flip through pages
Waiting too long for a promotion we switch jobs
& you want me to wait 
As I wait for my blog to get approved
time passes me by
Yet I wait and wait and Wait
