Nothing peps up my mood like a great laugh. Mindless giggle,subtle wit,big time howl -- I lap them all like a desert that guzzles rain! Guess what never fails to disappoint me in those badly want to laugh moments ????? Yup - F.R.I.E.N.D.S . I still tune in to those umpteenth repeats on TV to get my daily dose of hilarity.Can anyone tire of that series - not me at least; As I am typing this post I am in splits after having watched a particularly amusing episode and suddenly the world seems a good place to live in !!! MORAL - laugh/smile/guffaw/titter/whoop but be sure to exercise the smile muscles :D
A scorchy sunday afternoon had me scurrying for something chilled and something sweet. Lassi my eternal favourite with roasted & powdered oats also adding to the flavour was a perfect thirst quencher.
Oats are such a regular part of our diet that I jumped in glee when I saw my favourite drink getting a healthy twist in the recipe that came with the oats package (Quakers). I modified the recipe to satiate my sweet tooth. Oats are 100% whole grains and a natural source of carbohydrates & dietary fiber.Rich in proteins, they help reduce cholestrol & gives you the energy required to sustain all day.
You can also try the salty version by spiking it up further with cumin powder. Whet your taste buds with this yummy drink
