passion in munich

On August 5th my fav friends Kanyika and Nikhil got married in one of the most entertaining and alternative weddings i've attended. I realised when i saw the story of nik-nak and kan-kin (was it not?), what a fairytale time they've had, leading upto the big moment. they're moving away to far away lands to start on a four month (well nearly!)long honeymoon. the ultimate gift for K would have been a breakthrough technique of not only packaging but also transporting fresh gobi manchurian to munich just about..every weekend?! K's wedding gift to all of us was to be a photo-copy of her deliciously detailed and brilliantly compiled collection of receipes. The request still stands :) In the meantime, as i was flipping through an old book, i came across this yummy sounding receipe:

This receipe (which you should try and let me know if its any good)is dedicated to K and N, for a happy life full of passion!

(really i know you're thinking, 'who puts up receipes on their blog unless they've tried them out, right?'. but if K can make ANYTHING taste scrumptious, so can you!)

Passionfruit Cheesecake:

Ingredients: (Serves 6)
. 350 gm soft cheese
. 50 gm castor sugar
. 300 ml fresh cream
. 1 tsp vanilla essence
. 100 gm digestive biscuits
. 60 gm melted butter
. 250 gm rasberries
. 1 tsp icing sugar
. 1 tsp lime juice
. 100 ml passion fruit puree

Method:
To make the blance, cream the cheese and sugar until fluffy. Whip the fresh cream in a bowl until it is slightly firm. Fold this into the cheese mixture and add vanilla essence. For the base, place the biscuits in a food processor and blend until fine. Melt the butter in a small bowl and add to the biscuit mixture. Then spread over the dish / mould. Set in the fridge for five minutes. Take it out and spoon the cheese mixture into each mould or dish. Leave it to set for two hours. The sauce is made by blending the rasberry in a food processor. Pass through a sieve; add lemon juice and icing sugar and pour over the blance before serving.

(passion fruit puree?) guess it goes in somewhere!

try it this sunday!

damn you RAM

The illustrator file is still saving.
I went for a walk into town, watched the sunset and its still saving its precious little image in my home. Why does it take 1's & 0's so long to do their jiggy little dance in my home? Man group dire straits is belting it out fast enough to put your lamborghini to shame, but we too shall be patient like the lizard that sits by the stream of light, close to the ceiling waiting for a fat juicy fly (aka dinner) to fly past and just when i begin to occupy more space in space and my hopes of the file having finished its business soar, my peepers, pretty black (no make-up) peepers, steal a glance at the screen and the darned indigo blob is as incompletely rectangular as ever. Every muscle in my right arm begins to respond to the texture that is forming under its shadow. Even here there are layers, though not correct punctuation, we shall leave that to the imagination of the reader....
