<li>Cream butter and caster sugar till pale. </li>

<li>Fold in the flour and baking powder, adding the milk till the batter is of folding consistency. </li>
<li> Bake in oven at 180C for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown. <i>Tip: You will know when your cake is ready when you poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean. </i></li>
<li>Cool the cake on a wire rack. Once cooled take it out of the pan and slice the cake about 1cm thick. Take a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut of the hearts. </li>
<li>Place either one on top of the other, stacking three of them like I did. Or simply lay them out on a plate. You can also choose to add buttercream in between cake layers. </li>

Have fun baking!
Let me know how it goes.</div>

I simply cannot get enough of this brown matte nailpolish by Faces Cosmetic. It looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
Wonderful enough to add a little accent to a finger or two.<br />

Matte nail polish is simply fantastic. I normally wouldn't pick such shades but what the heck a girl can never have less of nail polishes. In India, Faces is a brand that I like with the other one being Sally Hansen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So for this manicure, you would need the following.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now the thing with Faces Nail paints are that they are of a reasonable cost. But most importantly, the brush being flat makes application perfect. And they are fast drying polish, so you really don't even need to wait in between coats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><b>Getting started</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The brown matte polish was quite translucent, so in this case I used four coats of the polish. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4Pvmu7E7fPw/UuDn7UPFj3I/AAAAAAAAPHo/Din_JY0hdwE/s1600/IMG_20140123_032216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4Pvmu7E7fPw/UuDn7UPFj3I/AAAAAAAAPHo/Din_JY0hdwE/s400/IMG_20140123_032216.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I gave it sometime to dry before I used my cheeky plates to add the stripes. Alternatively you can use a brush and do it freehand too. </div>

Last Christmas we had new additions to the family, many of
whom were vegetarians. So when faced with the daunting task of preparing a veg
dish, I had to call on the expert – Executive Chef Conrad. Well he improvised a recipe on the go and it was delicious. <o:p></o:p></div>

1 kg Paneer (block)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Cut the Paneer into two inch squares and roughly one finger
thick. See that you have even number of pieces as you will need to create a sandwich

blocks.</li>

them in semolina (rava) coating them evenly. Place onto a hot pan and cook for
about 5 mins on each side or until the semolina starts to darken.</li>
<li>Place on a kitchen towel to drain out excess oil. Serve hot.</li>
<li>You can use the chutney used for marinating, simply transfer
it into a bowl. </li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the first time ever I bought a L'oreal nail paint, and I must say I am not impressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3YAaqH8f1fU/Us2ULGLxAnI/AAAAAAAAO54/RC1oRQK1sXg/s1600/20140108232808125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3YAaqH8f1fU/Us2ULGLxAnI/AAAAAAAAO54/RC1oRQK1sXg/s1600/20140108232808125.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Called the Flaming Sunset, it fails to live up to its name. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My major discomfort is with the brush. While the wide brush is designed to make it easy to apply, unfortunately it offers a very chunky application.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g7JPTPG4moQ/Us2CvYltPCI/AAAAAAAAO5c/68wfKcT5-Ss/s1600/IMG_20140105_025600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g7JPTPG4moQ/Us2CvYltPCI/AAAAAAAAO5c/68wfKcT5-Ss/s200/IMG_20140105_025600.jpg" width="200" /></a>For the price this nail paint comes at, it fails to live upto expectation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have really long nails, and you can see the result of it. I wanted to add some drama to my other plain red nail polish and it failed. These a black coat which overshadows the glitter. :(<br />

Yay my first post of 2014.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is the first time I've used nail studs. I was sceptical about using them as was worried they would fall off quickly, but must say they going strong. </div>

I dabbed a little glitter to the tips of my nails in order to balance out the glam on the accent nail. </div>

I love you. <p dir="ltr">2013 was a great year for me. It started out as a struggle and unfolded in one full of blessings. </p>
<p dir="ltr">It was a year in which I discovered my passion for baking and nail art.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It also presented the opportunity for us to go on a really long holiday to London and Scotland, one where I got to celebrate my birthday roaming in the rain and watching my favourite movie Despicable Me 2. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Well I lost my much loved Samsung S3 a day before my birthday on the streets of London. So :( </p>
<p dir="ltr">This year allowed us to spend most time with our adorable Brielle, my niece and the apple of our eyes. I got to spend so many wonderful moments with my cousin and her husband. Mariella thank you for giving us a roof in London and Conrad for the amazing food. You are truly a chef extraordinaire. </p>
<p dir="ltr">My brother too got married. So we have a new addition to the family. Welcome Priya. </p>
<p dir="ltr">And my best girl friend popped! I have a nephew too now, one who I am yet to meet but I can assure you I am going to spoil him rotten. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, I got to spend Christmas at home in Goa. There aint a real celebration like how we do it in Goa. My Mama and Papa were glad to have a housefull this year with all of us down even cousins. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So yes 2013 was awesome. Thank you God for the wonderful year. I know 2014 will have it's own set of surprises.</p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The holiday season calls special nails. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, here are three easy steps to sporting your own fabulous holiday nails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Put on a coat of red paint. I used Revlon Deep Red. A single even coat did the job for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HklpVDCUHzE/Uqq0LIOgHeI/AAAAAAAAOyM/EQfZvhwxRh8/s1600/nailsbyjo_nailpaint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HklpVDCUHzE/Uqq0LIOgHeI/AAAAAAAAOyM/EQfZvhwxRh8/s1600/nailsbyjo_nailpaint.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get out your stamping plates. I used cheeky plate numbers 6 and 17 which had the holiday designs. Use the white nail paint for stamping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rpdsJkUIidM/Uqq0Ks8LVeI/AAAAAAAAOyU/4wKqTB3fzRo/s1600/nailsbyjo_cheeky+stamps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rpdsJkUIidM/Uqq0Ks8LVeI/AAAAAAAAOyU/4wKqTB3fzRo/s1600/nailsbyjo_cheeky+stamps.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tadaa... Finish with a transparent coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-klK2RwH9EpU/Uqq0LeRsEDI/AAAAAAAAOyc/k8bGUBjjQ_g/s1600/nailsbyjo_holiday+nails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-klK2RwH9EpU/Uqq0LeRsEDI/AAAAAAAAOyc/k8bGUBjjQ_g/s1600/nailsbyjo_holiday+nails.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
