EASY QUICK-MADE CUP CAKE

 Its 3:30 pm Wednesday, exactly. My aching bones seek relaxing with a read, music. I would remain busy next two weeks, thought of sharing a new recipe today! Its never ritual, pleasure for me! Besides being my reader, if you follow me in social media handles, you would see me sharing details next week onwards! I am a public person unlike rest in family. Only in few occasions, I seek their permission to share their pictures, details in social media. I take immense pride in them, if only they acknowledged it. Achievements makes me happy, whosoever's it is, my family's more. I have the habit of enquiring about others' academics, university rankings with same interest I take in our son's. Why is it considered poking, its quality jealousy doesn't plague me. I want Human Race to progress steadfastly. That I am worthless lazy bone is another issue.

I am supercharged when it comes to cooking, playing with ingredients! Years back I tried sattu/chatu/roasted gram flour cup cake, wasn't satisfied. Weeks back I was happy with outcome, top got overly baked, I dropped idea to blog about it! Being busy, I thought of trying two recipes this morning; one was these cup cakes, another one was herbs breads with gluten-free flour. I picked up cake for today's bake. I don't know if Cristine is reason for my energetic self in kitchen, love for cooking runs in family! What is wrong in saying that? I don't deprive my man, son, eat up everything I cook. Its six years son left home, mumma couldn't come into terms with his absence. Mumma wants to spend more time together because in few years he would have his own family, we wouldn't remain his prime! What his father & him means by "there is time" I don't know. "Now, This Moment" is real, no one has seen tomorrow. I wish three of us get more of time to be together, neither I wish to delay entry of daughter to be in family. If son can't choose, we are here to find one. A couple of islanders told me they choose, there is no system of arranged alliances here. This I don't agree to, when kids get confused, parents have to handle, help them settle in life.

This lady doesn't spend a word without munching. Since yesterday, I clicked the following! Cristine cooked the vermicelli upma, she takes interest in cooking, good at it, lacks patience Bengali style cooking demands!

Sometime back I had microwave tossed beaten rice-oats-chanachur-onion-green chillies-fresh coconut medley! I think its wrong to have oats without washing, soaking it. I am scared, I can't afford to fall sick now. My system got weakened, I don't wish to live thinking how sick I am, I must practice my interests!

Well, I may not follow alternative medicine but amla / gooseberry is high in vitaminC, I don't have issue accepting that. For our treatments, we would go to certified medicos. Saying this we aren't disrespecting anyone. I go for TCM massages, never would trust having medicinal leaf juice for tumour growth!

Its 5:10pm, lets wrap. What more to say about this vegan, gluten-free, coconut milk, banana, roasted gram-flour EASY QUICK-MADE CUP CAKE? 

Baking cake without milk, yogurt, condensed milk, eggs is challenge! Doing them, I accept challenge, love having them! Neither man, nor Cristine refuse to have, they say my sweet stuffs are too low in sugar! If only I knew all these when son was recommended gluten-free diet for three years. Thereafter, gradually he started having. He loves chilled milk, I still ask him not to drink much of milk. He loves to drink what Singapore loves drinking chilled; Iced tea to sugar-free chiiled Oloong tea to chilled soy milk. They ask why can't I let go? I say I would if he behaves normal like other kids, calls regular, sends pictures.

Well, mumma cooked raw mango spread too today, would send a little to kids around thinking how mine loved on bread.

Our mother did jam, jelly at home besides getting Kissan's, Druk didn't come regular. In parents' absence, my brother, I fought, thereafter sat together with biscuits with butter or jam, ate 16-17 biscuits at a time. I had been obese for half century! The cup cakes ain't looking great but they are moist inside, crumbly a bit, tasting good!
