Monday:
The morning was cloudy, but not raining. It was very pleasant. I decided to take a long walk in the morning. The tress beside the trail were blooming with white, pink , purple , and more colors. The Spring has come out with full life. The creek on the side of the trail was full of water. The water was flowing in full force, as if it was a mountain river. I had never seen that much water in that very creek. The coots were swimming merrily in the creek.

Simple vanilla cake with egg white
After walking six long miles Sunday morning, everyone had been craving for something sweet, especially me. I suggested baking a cake. Mr. Man suggested buying one warm cake. He was almost ready to leave the home. I told that it was not possible for him to get any hot cake in superstores. Only home baked cake could be warm. I also wanted to do a little experiment with egg white. I didn’t use any egg, or yogurt. However, the cake turned out soft and moist.
Here is my recipe:
One cup all-purpose flour
One fourth cup vegetable oil (you can use butter to get better taste)
Half cup milk (I used almond milk)
One tsp. baking soda
One tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
Three fourth cup sugar
One tsp. vanilla extract
Half cup egg white (approximately 4 eggs)
Oil or butter spray (For greasing the baking pan)
Method:
Take a big mixing bowl. Add all the dry ingredients, mix well, and keep aside. Take another mixing bowl, add sugar, and egg white. With an electric mixer or a hand mixer mix egg white and sugar until creamy. Then add milk, oil, and mix well. After that , add the mixture of dry ingredients, and mix well into a smooth batter. Do not over mix. Add the vanilla extract, and mix with a spatula.
Preheat the oven at 350 degree F. Take a 9X5 loaf pan. Grease the pan with oil spray. Pour the batter. Bake for half an hour, or a fork comes out clean inserted in the middle of the cake.

Couscous with boiled vegetables
Couscous is very popular in India. It is cooked in many ways. Sometime it is cooked with lentils , sometimes with milk. If it is cooked with lentils, it is called “Khichdi”. With cooked with milk is it called rice pudding. It is also cooked with peanuts, and potatoes.The other day I cooked couscous for Mr. Man. I packed it with him for lunch, and some of his co-workers tasted, and they found my recipe is very interesting. I just changed a little in a common recipe. Here, I’m sharing my recipe.

Monday:
Another week started. At last this week had started with bright sunshine. The days had started getting longer. Now when I wake up in the morning I can see the soft pink sunlight of the morning. Anyway, today again my son had a minimum day in school. I had my conference with his teacher. We discussed about the concerns regarding about his progress. His teacher told me that he had been making a good progress, and he is already in his grade level, and could exceed that before the end of the school year. That was very nice to know that.
Since last week I have become very busy with a huge project. Actually in June I am going to meet with my high school friends. I have planned to give all of them some handmade purses. We are 24 friends in our group. So, I need to sew 24 purses.
Today morning I noticed tulip buds in my front yard |
