Fridays are usually relaxed family time for us, some nice kids friendly movie, few homemade snacks to munch on and a lot of laughter.
Today is one of those usual Friday afternoons, kids are back from school and off to play at neighbor’s home.
Cold and rain altogether left nothing much to do, so I made myself a nice cup of tea and snuggled on the couch with a book, which has been imploring me to finish from a while.
With fog on my glasses
From the still steaming tea
A book in my hand
As I casually read
A catch in my breath
As the climax grows near
Will Kalua be able to escape his destiny?
Or Deeti will be widow again?
Will Ah Fatt’s description of Canton be able to provide Neel with the escape he needed, into a realm that was wholly unfamiliar.
I’m deaf to the world:
The book is all I can hear.
My eyes lingered on it, emotions churning within me.
I’m completely lost now, or perhaps I’m found
In this strange paper world, that is far from the ground.
Too absorbed in reading, I didn’t notice when did the kids return home. A gentle reminder from the younger one about the promise I made earlier today, pulled me out from the realm of fantasy. A baked treat to go along with the movie tonight.
A quick glance at the pantry and fridge seeking some inspiration. It has to be something different as well. Muffins won't work today, I knew, nor do I have time for cookies. Few ripe bananas lying in the basket. What if I could make something with banana, I muse...
Almond flour, banana, honey and egg....mixed with love and baked till perfection.
SCD Banana bread it is…a perfect treat without worrying about sugar & carbs!!
