Last week Shyama's computer crashed ( I am always using her computer). And I was just lost without it. There are times when hubby was not using his computer I used it fast to check the mail or just to see what is going on Facebook.
Today onwards she is having her finals, so now again I am lost as I am borrowing hubbies :-(
Friday I had to be in Brussels, so I thought I will meet up with one of my blog buddies.She has this blog called Bombay- Brussels We know each other from our blogs but have never met up, so as I had to be there in Brussels we arranged to meet up.
The moment we met up we clicked, the afternoon just flew. We talked and she took me to a japanese store and then she took me to this Asian store I was like a child in a toy shop. I saws so much Indian goodies that I didn't know what to take. Really I told her I think i willmove to Brussels. You name it they had it and if they didnt have they got it for you when you went next time.
So that evening when hubby came home he remarked, well she met one blog friend and she is beaming the whole evening, really i coudn't stop smiling when I thought about the time we spend, it was really wonderful to meet someone with the same intrest.
We had so much fun that while taking the Metro back we forgot to get down in our stop :-)
And I got this most delicious gift from her. A full box of Alphonsa mangoes.
Now to the food.
This is something I just whipped up one afternoon.
I had a small tub of ricotta cheese and I thought why not use them.
So there is no exact recipe i guess you just go with you feeling.
I halved a bunch of strawberries and mixed them few tbsp of strawberry grenadine and left fot 30 minutes in the fridge.
Then took 1/2 cup of ricotta and mixed them well with few tsp of vanilla sugar .
I just layered them up in a glass (you can also add if you like a tbsp of the grenadine on the bottop of the glass too) and poured the left over juice from the strawberry mixture and served them.
They were just so so delicous. I loved the combination of strwberry and Ricotta cheese.
I have added Word Varification in the comment section as for the last 3 weeks almost every day I have been getting comment in chinese or japanese , i dodn't know which one. And I have been rejecting them but everyday there is another one. And it is in the same post, when it didn't work for the last week they coment in a another one.
So for a while there will be word varification in the comment section.

So good to hear that you met a blogger there, it's always to put a face on the blogger.

Happy I have tub of ricotta cheese and straw berries in fridge too..so i'm going to dig into this right now..I always stock on ricotta..since its the SBD diet friendly..
As for the comments in chinese and japanese..its is still happening to me after I pit word verification..very single day this is happening..have to report to blogger security..
Happy, I suspended anonymous comments in my blog because I was getting so many of those Japanese/Chinese things - even though I have moderation, I was tired of getting them.
It worked, but now I am getting one every two or three days even though it's not anonymous. Pain in the neck! (I've not put word verification.)
I met more than dozen bloggers in my first meeting! Imagine how much we should talk! That was 2 years ago!
Cottage cheese and berry, never tasted but sounds very elegant dessert!
A lovely dessert! That is such a delightful combination!
Cheers,
Rosa
What a beautiful dessert, and creative!
