Happy Birthday all you darlings! Hope you have a fantastic day, and a great year ahead!

There is a beautiful song in a old English movie, called Gigi, its in English, but sung with a French accent. It starts with “Thank Heaven for little Girls….”

Its a beautiful song, and the movie is very cute too!

SUPER Easy, quick and Delicious!! I made this tonight for dessert. We had a small party to celebrate the return of Nur and Nilgun, and farewell to Asiye.
Ingredients:

Ghiradelli Brownie Mix,
Whipped Cream,
Vanilla Icecream,
Hot Fudge Topping (I used Hershey’s, but you may make your own too)
Method:

Make brownie as per the directions on the package. Cool it completely.

Now use a glass cup or bowl. You need to make layers. First I put vanilla icecream, then a piece of brownie, then a dollop of whipped cream and finally, I warmed the Hot Fudge topping in the microwave, and drizzled it over.

That’s it!! Hmm.. what was I saying… easy huh?

I got a taste of this new Pom (Pomegranate) juice when I was passing the Estee Lauder Cosmetics Counter at Macy’s. They were actually promoting their new product which had pomegranate in it. They were handing out the Pom juice, as a promotion. The lady said the juice was ‘tart’. When I tried it, my facial expression weirded out my husband. :D It was “tart” with a capital T. :D I know its wonderful and all, its antioxidant properties, etc, etc, but how can you drink a full glass of this tart juice!!

So, you know me, I usually like to eat healthy things (Chocolate is healthy in my dictionary…ahem!); so I mixed Guava juice with Pom juice, and the tartness was greatly reduced because of the sweetness of the Guava juice. So, I wouldn’t mind having Pom juice in the future, if its mixed with some sweeter juice.

These are a couple pictures of Pom tree, and the flower taken in Kashmir recently, around my in laws house.
