Birthday cake dilema, sorted.

-




It is the little one`s birthday and so the baking dish has to be out of the rack. While I craved for cheesecake, we talked over making an amazing peanut butter and chocolate layered cheesecake. The excitement of satisfying my sweet tooth was overwhelming and I was fully prepared as the plan was made that I start preparing for it 3 days prior so that I don't have to worry on last.


But all the imaginary satisfaction that I had created in dreams was shattered when little one announced: " cheesecake, cheeeeee no I want only proper chocolate cake".


Probably she had a vision of one of those cakes on the isles on cake shop where they stack up varied coloured and shaped cakes. But the mom in me did not agree to give up into those sugary indulgent cakes but was in a dilemma now.


It was her day so better not disappoint her, finally, I gave in and agreed to make a double layered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Hearing this sad face changed into a happy face in an instant. 


Now for the change of plans into action, the task was to make 2 layers of cake day before allowing them to cool in the fridge, next day make frosting and decorate it. Which will be ready by the time she reaches home, this is what I intended to do.


But like they say any happy plans can be ruined without any notice, the migraine took over my happy baking mode to bedridden mode. And with a heavy heart, I settled for a single layer cake which I would bake early fruitfully turned out well, and finally, the cake was in a place that vegan cake.


Morning on that day and later make a chocolate ganache for the cake. Which yummy cake, mummy happy, baby happy what more to ask. Even if all the plans were a flop, happy that the final outcome was fruitful.

My story of fibroids and aloe gel

Yes yes am talking about that gooey jelly stuff you find In that cactus kind of plant. Well not cactus really, but that Pricky plant with thick stem and has large amount of gel in it. OK I won't be talking about all the health benefits of aloe vera plant here except for one and since its my personal experience I can talk with all my knowledge. I have been suffering from uterine fibroids since few years well I have just one fibroid but a massive one, I was given only optional treat it was to get to get it operated and removed. The effects I faced due to the fibroid is directly proportional to its size, as the fibroid grew the problems also. I won't go deep into it, as its a medical condition and varies for every person. While I had tried various methods like castor oil packs, mustard oil massages, hot bag treatment and even certain medication. None of it helped, and the pain was so much that I was prescribed painkillers. We all no the side effects of painkillers,...

I Love You...........

Have you ever felt, Like you were holding a fragile heart, That could break any second, And then it shatters, And you don't know how to fix it? Then your world goes wild, With everything spinning but you, You stand still and stare at the moment, Not knowing what to say, Not even paying attention anymore. You want to say something to help the moment, But tears are saying enough. I want to hold the pieces of your broken heart, And put it back to one. I hold you close, Hoping you can forgive me, For hurting you so badly, I tell you I love you, And it's far from a lie. I cry on your chest, Apologizing again and again You finally pull me away and lift my face up towards yours, I look into your eyes, Wanting to turn away, But I'm forced by love to keep looking. And you say the three words I longed to hear:: I love you. You wipe away the tears, Leaning forward to place a kiss upon my lips, A...

I cry alone

Every night underneath the darkened skies Many tears fall from my saddened eyes. No one will ever feel my pain It’s strong enough to drive one insane. The torment inside is not fake, It burdens me from the moment I wake. I’m bound by invisible chains, Every attempt to break away is in vain. I need to be taken into strong arms By a man who will protect me from harm. Someone who won’t let me go Until then, I want you to know I cry alone. My head is in constant torment, For me, no one will lament. I feel like I am among the living dead, Wandering all alone in my head. Darkness is all I can see, Other than shadows looming all around me. I feel half alive, I don’t know how much longer I can survive. With you, I’ll forever feel protected, Loved, cared for and respected. My heart needs a place to call home. Until I can make you see, just know I cry alone. I don’t know what to do, For I have been torn in two. All I know ho...
