Biscuit cake. [parle G]


Its just so awesome. Every1 will love it. No baking required. Very easy to make. I bet u shud give a try.

Ingredients:

Biscuits – 5-7 small packets (Preferably Parle G)
Unsalted Butter – 2 tsp
Thick cream - 2 cups
Chocolate Powder (drinking chocolate) – 2 tbsp
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – 1 tsp
Instant Coffee Powder – 1.5 tsp (optional)
Sugar powder – 2 tbsp
Milk – 1 cups
Chopped Walnuts – 1/4 cup
Gems (toffy) - 10 in number
Milky bar - 1

Method:

1. Add the Chocolate Powder, Cocoa Powder, Sugar, cream and Butter and mix well.(sauce)
2. Add in Instant Coffee Powder and allow it to mix in well.
3. Stir constantly, once the mixture starts thickening.
4. Keep stirring to make sure it is a smooth with no major lumps. Use a whisk or a hand blender if needed.
5.Now for the assembly of the cake, open the packets of biscuits and take out the broken ones.
6.Take the biscuit and give it a quick dip in the Milk (1 cup) and start layering on the platter.
7.Lay out the 1st layer of biscuit and then spread some syrup/sauce over it.
8.Alternate with a layer of Biscuits and Sauce…till you reach a desired height.
9.Cover the top most layer with the balance of the Syrup and some on the sides.
10. Sprinkle with chopped Walnuts, decorate with gems and chocolate and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
11. Slice like you would for a cake and serve.


Tips:

1. Buy a few extra biscuit packets…they taste yummy and you will end up eating a lot more than you think.
2. We have tried a lot of different kinds of biscuits…Parle G workout best.
3. The layering needs some careful handiwork…do it slowly and don’t be in a rush.
4.You can sprinkle the top with coconut powder, sprinkles, assorted dry fruits and/or chocolate syrup.

A key to independent living.



Life keeps on teaching us lessons though we dont want to learn. But this time life taught me something which i think everyone should learn. In the phase of life what i'm going through i came accross many things like recession, job firing, ill health, and stuff. Its always well said "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST". So who is the fittest? I had a wrong assumption that the person with power and money is the fittest. But now i realised its not so. The fittest is the one who knows the art of independent living.
What is independent living?
Here is what i define. Its like you dont've to depend on any1 or anything for your surival. In case if u r lost in a island where u dont find modern technology and readymade food as we get now, 1 shud be in a condition to grow his own food. Every1 shud know the art of farminf. Cultivation, farming, irrigation have only been in books for us. At the end of the day food is something we earn for. Ita so unfair that we dont now to grow our own food. Its something which evry1 needs. its should be of primary importance. It shud be the first thing we shud belearning. We dont've to deoent on others for that. I have a desire i shud be able to grow my own food and build my own shelter in my lifetime. I know its not something which is impossible. Difficult but not impossible. According to me a perfect man is the one who knows these arts. I realised it lately but not too late to know all this. I wish i will be able to fulfill my desire :)

Why always mama's boy!!!! why not girl.......


We always have found people saying Mama's boy. Have you ever wondered why? Me neither. I happen to get this thought recently where i found that mama always loves daughter more than son and daughter always loves mom more than dad. Mama becomes a friend when the girls reaches her teen. They share many things common in them. But still its mama's boy. And what about girl? yeah its papa's angel. Papa's Angel? Mujhe aaj tak yeh funda samaj nahi aaya. Paapa hamesha apney khaandaan ke chirag ki chah karte hain. Paapa ka naam toh beta roshan karta hai, agey leke jata. Toh papa ki ladki kaise hui? Yeh soch mujme jaagi hai, iska jawab doond rahey hai hum. Dekhte hain kab aur kaise milta hai answer. Koi kuch bhi kahe me Mama's angel hon.
