In natural peanut butter , the oil seperates from the paste. I use skippy which clearly lists in the ingredients, that many oils have been added to stop the seperation.

Brokenness

Mothers are encouraged to create their own den for nursing. Is that not what we all want a place that is there for us forever. Even if its not the same. A corner of a bed. A bed you will have no matter where you go, unless you change your life dramatically and lead a peripatetic life. Cucumber & Lemon flavor of softsoap with its fragrance reminds me of my fondness for the buyer, that I should let him know about it and so does the ineffectivness of a new dishwashing liquid. A suffusion of memory into time. How much is enough? What is forever? 40-60yrs? With motherhood, like the cracking egg, an identity dissolves, another forms. In this brokenness, have to figure a wholeness. An ornamental oil bottle procured when a friends family moved back to India For a while it decorated my office desk until some colleagues found it funny It then moved from kitchen to kitchen with me Today when the refrigerator was open or shut There was a sound something fell but nothing vi

Break cake

It is ironic that the time that I have been eating lots is the time that I have been writing less of it. I havent been having much variety. Bored of whole wheat with peaut butter and brown rice, I have finally moved to some grapes and banana. I first read of Viennese brownies on womansday.com but hey picture wins. with these I hope to break the fast of not having made desserts in a long time. I have a birthday coming up. Cake time again. Yippee! Thinking about Viennese brownies, I realise that it rhymes. Instead of baking them in a 9x9 square pan, I used a 8in round pan. And there started my troubles. I dont know why I wanted the brownies to be like pie slices, I had to almost bake them double time. Family and friends liked the taste, so no regret. I felt that the cream cheese part tasted like khalakand sweet.What I made didnt have the nice sandwich layer like in the pictures. once of the reasons is the swirl that I did which I shouldnt have because I put almond slices on the top.

Snow pea leaves

A bunch of snow pea leaves lies in the refrigerator for a while. We decide to make it along with a potato. My mom had a tough time in the stomach. I though she was just being disagreeable. Same happened with me. And then some more. It just happened to be a tummy bug in my case with all the 'emptying works'. Now I have a literal bad taste of it, with its disagreeable taste still reeling in my throat after a day or two, unwelcome through belches. I could now use it as a natural emetic.

Almond oil

Yesterday while looking for sesame oil or grapeseed oil for massaing the baby, I found Almond oil and wondered about its use. Looks like it could be used for massage too. I didnt know that almond flour was gluten free.
