delectable..indulgent..PINK cake – it’s the sensation my family began this year with!
STRAWBERRY CAKE
beat 10-12 Tbsp butter
with half cup castor sugar.
add 2 eggs and beat one by one.
keep the mixer aside. now begins the manual mixing..
add 2 cups refined flour
half tsp salt
3/4th tsp baking pwdr
1/2 cup milk.
then the king ingredient- strawberry crush syrup!!!!! 3/4th cup.
bake @180 degrees C for about 35 minutes.
Indulge.
it requires mettle to get things done NOW and not ‘someday’. there’s grit and determination that make one a go getter. heard of the adage- now or never.. seize the moment.. ?! my instructor at the Military academy used to say- tomorrow is a fine day, but it never comes. and just so elusive is that ‘someday’.
i heard somewhere- when you’re down and out just get up, dress up AND show up! the essence of it all is in ACTION.. prompt action.
my experience of 22 years or rather since the time I’ve come to mature senses has laid bare one weakness that affects people in more ways than one-… PROCRASTINATION. it means having pending jobs up the head that keep mounting and piling up that further lead to mental stress and the ultimately – no fruitition.
if one is prompt, she’s also tension free and she gets things DONE. ain’t that blissful?
now that i am employed and shoulder responsibility.. i shall endeavor (to the best of my efforts) to let go of the bondage or restraints… to be prompt..be a go-getter!
THAT is my resolution for this new year that beckons another new beginning! cheers.
hey new year
you already here
how soon you came
such short time frame.
Harbinger of beginnings-
furthered learnings,
and new resolutions
that time of benediction
always. for me and you
yet again. In this chapter new.
