IS WRITING A BLOGPOST A COMPULSION FOR ME?
None of the above are true in my case though I feel tired sometimes! We did the shopping locally, Cristine headed back home, I walked towards the Indian Market! I have a food delivery to be made on Saturday! I was unwilling to walk today, my body was not allowing! Then, the only pressure I allow on myself is that I must do some cardio five days a week; also I cannot allow myself rice or chapati every day! I met my Saturday's client on the road, giggled, told I am going to buy the raw materials. It is always a pleasure, I am doing what I enjoy doing! Just that I wished to take the MRT today! I stopped at every station on the way but walked forward! I was counting milestones! This spot, where the canal is had been my favourite, some days I would walk along it, had stolen vegetables too during the pandemic. That "thoka togor" does not have a smell, but I would stop for a while! This way, I reached my destination on foot & covered a good distance!
I AM DOG TIRED; BUT HAPPY & CONTENT!
I had plans to try at Vana Bhojanam, their thali meal. Then I stepped back. It was difficult taking the trolley up the steps. Then, how much I shout at our mother, I never forget the lessons she taught, warned not to go alone in the segregated areas ever! Vana Bhojanam is between Copper Chimney & Urban Roti!
I got the drumsticks from Rajdhani Stores, they looked fresh, T and the son would never eat it! Certain authentic Bengali dishes my brother does enjoy!
WHAT IS THIS CORNMEAL BANANA CHERRY CAKE?
I am such a Bengali at heart, why didn't I get a Bengali share today? I was to get a homely, Bengali recipe to the blog today but changed my mind! I chose this healthier cake with gluten-free flours; CORNMEAL BANANA CHERRY CAKE! I am not a good observant; certain things I pass by do not make me happy, I ignore! I need not look at anything that doesn't serve me enough love! The only guilt is that two precious lives are gone in the Bengal scenario, but what can a food blogger do except for seeking peace for the departed souls? Untimely Deaths cause me depression! Neither cornmeal is my choice of flour! I only enjoy a paratha which has equal amount of cornmeal and refined flour, I find it easier to cook such a dough! I believe refined flour makes the best cakes; taste wise, texture wise! I just try my hands at healthier stuffs for my good; also it gets me better visits. What I totally dislike are the processed fruits, regret planning recipes with them. Fresh cherry burst desserts would have been better! THIS VEGETARIAN, GLUTEN-FREE, STOVETOP CAKE is otherwise good!
