Purple Capsicum

Nowadays my diet consists more of a variety of vegetables and some chicken meats. I find it easier to digest and it is not so heavy a meal to eat. Recently, while shopping in a supermarket, I was astounded and very much in awe when I came across a deep purple capsicum variety, for I only knew of the more common varieties, green, red and yellow. It is quite a surprise to find a deep purple coloured Capsicum. It’s pretty though, I actually like the colour. I cannot help admiring it and after a few days I went back to find that it was almost sold out, the next time I definitely will not hesitate to buy and try it.

A Thoughtful Gift, Vegetarian Fruit Cake

These few days I have been busy with my Christmas baking, I really like to bake especially at this time of the year where the holiday season is so much upon us. I have had fruit cakes baked and the multitude of cookies that I had decided upon to bake. At last I had all of it packed and ready to give as a gift to my family and friends. I had a friend who is a vegetarian and I have been meaning to chunk up something that I can give her, she like fruit cake but I have never bake a vegetarian fruits cake, it is easier say than done. After pondering it for a few days I decided to give it a try. So, came this fruit cake, it is Eggless, dairy free and I use wholemeal flour, vegetable oil and water to bake it, what a relief when it turns out nice and moist and most of all delicious. When I presented it to her she was so grateful and touched.
