I made these….. For the first time…


I really really really really made these. I am surprised too! :D

The hubby hasn’t still got back from his official trip. So the kids are kind of moody today. The school has given them a Diwali holiday, and I am trying to entertain them as best I can. They helped me make these. :D

Over the years, during Diwali, we always got or bought sweets. Since the kids have grown up and I am not working anymore, I had no excuse left. And these are the results.

I cut my finger ,the first thing in the morning today. I don’t remember exactly how. I just remember a broken ceramic teacup , a deep cut and a lot of blood.

Diwali could have been better. But it wasn’t all that bad either. How was yours?

Congratulations…Celebrations…… I baked!


Yeah Yeah… I know its no big deal. EVERYONE bakes. But you see this is my space and I get to brag here.

I have thrown out two boxes of Betty Crocker’s Cake mixes that passed the expiry date. That’s how lazy I am!

My daughter fell in love with its taste at my friends dinner get together. She has been pestering me to finally bake it. So I bought a fresh pack recently. And today I forced myself to bake it. And believe me , it is the easiest thing I have ever made in the Kitchen. And it tastes yummy. I think the one we tasted at my friend’s place had the chocolate cream too in the box. This one didn’t. But I am sure this will taste perfect as brownies with Vanilla or Butterscotch Ice creams.

Do you know that Chocolate is therapeutic? Yeah, I am pretty sure somebody has researched that!

Its the first time I am using this Oven! :)
