Thursday Night Outing - Amul Ice cream parlour

Because I run a chocolate making business - there is always a box full of chocolates in my fridge. Due to this, both my son and daughter have now got used to having meetha after dinner.This year because of  an increase in orders during Diwali, I exhausted all chocolates and wasn't getting time to make new ones. But the n number of mithai ka dabbas that we got as gifts from family and friends, took care of our khane ke baad ka meetha.

The last kaju katli ka dabba got over yesterday and my son started complaining of missing the meetha. So all 3 of us - me, my son and my daughter convinced my husband to accompany us for ice cream at the nearby Amul ice cream parlour.  I ordered my kaju pista kulfi and my son & daughter hogged on to chocolate chips ice cream with chocolate sauce. All in all it was a well spent evening. With my kids spending almost 10 hours in office and just 3 months left for my daughter's wedding - we hadn't got a chance to spend time as a family and catch up on each other's lives. This evening out gave us an opportunity to do exactly that. We all were so engrossed in talking that all of us missed clicking pics of our ice creams. So all I have for you today is a pic of our empty ice cream cups :). Take care and happy reading :)

Potato Chips dipped in chocolate

I was browsing the net for some new recipes and came across this one - Frito Lays has launched limited edition Wavy's Lay's potato chips dipped in milk chocolate !! The chipmaker says that the salty sweet combo is tailor made for young women who apparently can't get enough of the stuff. And I was like - Really ??????? I made my brother read the article and his reaction was - "Ofcourse. Look at you - it is made for girls like you who even add chocolate sauce to their lassi."

And that set me thinking. I went to the nearby Reliance Mart only to pick up a big packet of salted Lays Chips - you know the ones that come in the yellow packet.
I tried making my own version of potato chips dipped in chocolate and this is how they turned out to be. I must say that they taste really yummmmm.

They are now available in the product list of Chocoholic You can order them by visiting www.chocoholic.co.in or  calling us at +91 9673331423

Can chocolates make you clever?

Atleast that's what a recent study done by a researcher of Columbia university seemed to suggest. And if the study is to be belived - eating more chocolate improves a nation's chances of producing Nobel Prize winners!!

Franz Messerli of Columbia University, started wondering about the power of chocolate after reading that cocoa can prove to be good for health.So he took the number of Nobel Prize winners in a country as an indicator of general national intelligence and compared that with the nation's chocolate consumption. The results - published in the New England Journal of Medicine - were striking.Switzerland, the country with the highest chocolate comsumption per head has also the highest number of Nobel laureates per capita. Countries at the bottom of the league included China with low chocolate consumption as well as less number of Nobel laureates...hmmmmm... wondering where India stood in the ranking ...hmmmm.

So what are you waiting for - go grab that piece of dark chocolate that you have been eyeing for so long - and don't forget to share it with your kids and be a good momma :):):)
