My Random Life

Since summer's right around the corner, here's a nice way to cool off in the 100 degree Dallas heat. I got this recipe from a few friends, I mixed n matched what I heard & here is how I made my version of the Kulfi. Ingredients (serves 4-6): 1 cup Mango pulp (canned or mango puree) 1 cup sweetened condensed milk 1 cup evaporated milk 1 cup heavy cream, I prefer Cool Whip 1 white bread slice Sugar (optional) Method of preparation: Mix mango pulp, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk till all the ingredients consistently blend in. I use a spoon to mix them all together, a blender can be used too. Add sugar in this mixture if you prefer to. In another bowl (a round one) put heavy cream, using a spatula whip the cream till it's smooth. Use more cream if you want the ice cream - creamier. After the cream is whipped, pour the blended mixture and mix till everything blends in. Cut out the corners of the bread slice and toast it - make sure it doesn...

Really?? Barcodes for URLs?? Never heard of that before! My colleague told me today that there are websites that generate barcodes for URLs, and she got my attention.....bar codes for URLs? I rephrased what she told me just to make sure I heard it right. Yes, there are websites that generate barcodes for URLs. These generated barcodes can be scanned by mobile devices (that have a barcode scanner app, or built in scanners) to directly open the website instead of typing in the URL!! How cool is that!!! So...I tried it out! I generated a barcode for my blog using the website: Bar code generator You can use your mobile device to scan this image and can get to my blog. I use an iPhone, so I downloaded the " i-nigma bar code reader " app. I noticed that catalogs that come in the mail also have barcodes, found one on the Express catalog today. See...I got a chance to learn something new today! :)

I had my first Chiropractor appointment today in the morning and I learnt so much about it that I was in awe after an hour. A one hour appointment changed my whole perception of this line of medicine - I did not ever imagine that would happen. What I knew about Chiropractic medicine before today -  a 'bone-setting' practice, an inexpensive way to get a massage :) honestly that's all I knew!! And that is one of the primary reasons why I went there today. I've been having pain in my neck and shoulder for a while now, went for one massage therapy session and I did not see much of a relief after that. It was the same case with my husband too. So we wondered if at all it will help if we went to a Chiropractor and got the spine 'reset'. We looked up for providers and found the one closest to our apartment and I'm sooo glad we found him! He's such a passionate person and all that he told me about Chriopractic medicine only reinforced that thought. He did no...

Here's my first blog post about recipes. I'm working from home today, which is boring....and to top it off we don't have much work! Just imagine how bored I was to experiment a recipe and then blog about it immediately :) Well, this is a pretty simple recipe - so no worries, did not take much time and effort. Since this my first post about recipes, I'm going to play around with the format a little. For now I plan to list the ingredients and the preparation method, will list the amount of each ingredient if necessary. If not, just follow your heart and throw in how much ever you feel like! Ingredients: Mango Pulp Plain Yogurt Milk Sugar Preparation method: Blend all the ingredients into a puree - I used 'Magic Bullet' for this, really easy and simple to use. Serve chilled. Variations: If you want your Lassi to be a little sweet, add more sugar. Add more mango pulp if you want it a little sour. You can also use fresh mangoes if they're availabl...
