Testicle treat

Filed under: Baby, Parenting — Tags: , , , — FMB @ 11:16 pm

I’m not writing about anything bizarre or pornographic or weird. I am told, however, that I’m a bit weird. Anywho, what I’m thrilled about is avocado (also known as the testicle fruit). The recipes one can come up with this fruit as the base is countless - chutney, kheer, finger chips, etc etc.

Some I’ve tried, some I haven’t but think would turn out great:

Chutney - A blended puree of avaocado, tomato, lemon, ginger, chilli, salt and pepper (consistency of ketchup or mustard).

Kheer - A blended puree of avocado, soy milk, cinnamon, cardomom, soaked almonds and sugar (consistency of yoplait).

Finger chips - Oven toasted long cut avocado pieces dipped in a mixture of salt, pepper, turmeric, asofetida, gram four or bread crumbs.

Hybrid dosa - Crepes of oats, rice flour and farina mixed with blended avocado. Also, regular crepes mixed with avocado paste.

I am not very much into cooking these days (mainly due to a demanding 8 month old with a reflux problem). But I do enjoy talking about food and learning new things. More so nowadays as I’m cut off from dairy.

Little did I know that I would have dairy withdrawal symptoms. Avocado recipes help me get over them so quickly because they are so delicious!!

Things I could learn from my 8 month old

Filed under: Baby, Parenting — Tags: , — FMB @ 6:02 pm
  1. Perseverance
  2. Learning to give up and knowing when
  3. Happiness
  4. Abundant love
  5. Alternate communication
  6. Patience
  7. Openness
  8. Staying young at heart
  9. Forgetting the bad things
  10. Curiosity

P.S: I was going to elaborate each bullet point, but I figured that people who have kids would easily understand why (so what I say would be useless) and those that don’t will not be able to appreciate even if I explain. So why explain?
