One Stop Destination

      Chocolate cakes have this knack of making you go weak on the knees. Being a strict Vegetarian, eggs were definitely out from my diet. This, however, never stopped me from experimenting with food and baking. During the initial months of my marriage I tried ways and means to please and impress my husband with my culinary skills. Here is one such eggless cake recipe that I have tried and tested on my guinea pig husband and found it a success. I have borrowed the pic from another site because at the moment I am in the process of shifting to a new place. Will upload my original pic once my kitchen becomes operational...  Ingredients 3 tbsp Cocoa 1 1/3  cup Flour 200 gm Butter, cubed 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp Cooking Soda 1 cup + 2 tbsp powdered sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence ¾ cup Milk For frosting 1 tbsp Butter 2/3 cup powdered sugar 1 tbsp Cocoa powder 2 drops vanilla extract 1 tbsp vanilla ice cream Direc...

Love never means materialistic and physical gratifications.

I needed a Proof of Heaven.  It goes without saying that death of my husband definitely added on to my explorations.      Does a person truly live after dying?  Is life just a transitory phase ??? I don't know. Or should I say I didn't know. It was only when my husband died that I asked these  questions. I didn't know whom to turn to for answers. Afraid of the darkness slowly engulfing my mind and unsure of people's views, I resorted to books.   Read through lots of books which included:- Life After Life by Dr Raymond Moody Laws of the Spirit World by Khorshid Bhavnagri Proof of Heaven by Dr Eben Alexander The Quest of the Overself by Paul Brunton Books by Nan Umrigar Books by Dr Bria...
