Sojourn Chimera: The journey Begins

“Don’t ever let anyone prevent you from dreaming. Imagination is one of our greatest gifts.”

So I’m a dreamer, a complete dreamer. I dream about various creative roles, sometime I dream that I would be a great chef or I would be a great singer or I would be a great dancer or I would be a great writer. People think I’m mad or an unpractical dreamer. So I asked myself is it true? And I said to myself no dream is unpractical so why not combine all my dreams in one and make it real. You must be wondering who this crazy human being is. Why on earth I need to read this blog. I will say just waste two minutes and you will find that I am no one but the image of your dreams which is in oblivion. The dreams which make you feel like a kid, makes you feel like a celebrity. These eyes which will take you into that utopian world, helps to explore the lost you. That’s me.

 

Why do I say so, because every human being dreams, dreams to become someone, to die someone who is worth remembering? Agreed? 

 OK now, why do I say combination of all dreams, this blog will have a recipe which will be inspired by a song/music or the innocent smile of a  baby or a snowy winter morning and each of this  will depict a story or a thought process which will translate into a recipe. Do you mind  to dance to the tune of a song. Don’t you think our actions are combination of someones dream? I’m sure there are millions of people who dream of so many things and ahh, no dream is unpractical. Dream gives happiness which leads to peace of mind and what else, food does the same magic. I’m sure you are saying come on start your thought process, I know you are restless and you have started hating me (smiles), believe me every feelings you have I love them.

 Ok let’s start the journey together  , so I was listening to this song today,  from the Bollywood ( Indian Film Industry) movie named “Life in a Metro”  and the song is “In dino dil mera”  and do you know what does this song say, it tells you to love yourself, take out time to love yourself.  While listening to the song I was thinking hats off to those lyricist who come up with new lyrics every time, hats off to the composers who come up with new music, hats off to those people who make you cry, laugh, motivates by their movies , takes you to the dreamy world, hats off to those people who think out of the box and enriches others life.  So I thought why not come up with something which makes you feel as a celebrity and who doesn’t want to become, right?  Which might motivate directly or indirectly to think out of the box and follow your passion. So let’s be a celebrity.  I made a desert which is inspired by the song and you know while preparing, mind and heart were dancing to the tune of the song. Imagine yourself biting on dark chocolate which had a topping of dried apricots, pistachios and raisins and while munching that, take a sip of sweet wine. Imagine the bombardment of flavors like bitter, tangy, nutty, sweet taste from dark chocolate, apricot, pistachio, almond, raisin and a kick from that sweet wine. Tell me do you feel the flavors, did I make you restless and I’m sure you want to make the desert and feel the flavors. I promise you will not be disappointed. Did we not treat ourselves as a celebrity? Don’t you think it was a beautiful journey together where we made a desert and treated ourselves as a Celebrity? Yes celebrity like actors portrays numerous emotions and this desert had number of flavors, so is it not a combination of everything? Did I not make everything real, all my dreams?  The combination of all the flavors  in the desert depicts the theme of the song.

Love Your dreams.

Why do I say love, anything you do with love you always ex-cel. So indulge yourself what you love the most. This is my passion and love to write and provide you some mouthwatering recipes and I know you all will love me J.

      • Nutritional value of sweet red wine :-
        • Since the skin is left on the grape for considerably longer during the production of red wine, red wine particularly is high in antioxidants. The risk of contracting diseases like cancer, certain heart conditions and diabetes is greatly reduced due to the presence of high quantities of antioxidants in the wine.

 

 

Not much effort but yes truly blissful.

Disclaimer :-  Dessert wine is sweeter and higher in sugar levels as compared to other table wines. It is loaded with lot of calories as compared to the normal wine to the tune of 125 calories in a 3 oz to 5 oz glass. If someone is having chocolate dessert along with the dessert wine then he or she is obviously piling up lot of calories. In summation, make smart food combinations. Combine dessert wine with plain or low-fat biscuits and pastries. If your dessert is something rich and heavy like cake or tiramisu, skip the wine altogether. Drinking wine every day is recommended for a healthy life but do not overdo it. Limit yourself to a glass a day.
