Healthy Pumpkin Dip with Spiced Apples
3/4 cup (6 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2-3 large apples (I prefer Honeycrisp)
3 tbs lemon juice
1/8 cup lite whipped topping
★ Place cream cheese, brown sugar, and pumpkin in a mixing bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add syrup and cinnamon, and beat until smooth.
★ Garnish with whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon (an little dash of nutmeg is nice too if you choose).
★ Cover and chill 30 minutes.
★ Core and slice apples. Drizzle with lemon juice to keep slices fresh (this won't affect the flavor of the apples). Sprinkle a layer of cinnamon onto the apple slices.
★ Arrange on a pretty dish and you're good to go!

Every year hundreds of Sadhus gather in the city of Kolkata before they set their pilgrimage to Sagar Island for a holy dip. Our state Government takes a rigorous step every year towards security, shelter, food, and hygiene for hundreds of them assembling from all over the country. Many common people gather to see them; many with a hope for getting their blessings. My notion was different. I always get fascinated by their ritualistic practices, faith, and portrayal of facial expressions! They are excellent subjects to study portraiture. I seldom miss this opportunity. This year was no exception!
Hereby I share a few interesting portraits with you…hope will like them.
Gangasagar pilgrimage and fair – A brief note.
Gangasagar pilgrimage and fair, held annually, is the second largest congregation of mankind after the holy Kumbha Mela. Almost a million of Hindu devotees from all over India gather at Gangasagar for a holy dip.
Besides the devotees, hundreds of sadhus, priests and alms-seekers come to Gangasagar every year for a unique spiritual experience!
The river Ganga (Ganges) which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad high Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga meets the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day (January 14/15), when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius.
My own experience of Gangasagar fair...a couple of years ago:
The Gangasagar fair (mela) exhibited a colorful ceremonial display of ritualistic acts, all being driven by deep faith in Hindu religion, directed for the sake of wealth and peace for self and for the dearest and nearest ones, for new generations to come, and of course in deep regards for the ancestors. I wondered by how for generations , the faith, devotion, endurance and love directed the people of my country in their continuous journey for eternal peace with all poverty acclaimed, other wise .I wondered by the gleaming faces of my country people who had no affluence of the west. I wondered by their enormous life forces with very ordinary food. I wondered by their grace with very ordinary cloths, and simplicity out of ignorance of the complex world. I found my religious India at a glance there. And I believe that my India isn’t a “Lost Paradise” even today, where humanity flourished forever.
SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH...
I have passed up zillions of chip and dip bowls but this one was amazing , it had the box too(even though I do not like the writing on the box!!)
Beef dip, also known as a French dip sandwich, is a hot sandwich made with thinly sliced roast beef served on a baguette or French roll.
A snowy egret dips its feet into the water at the start of its flight across a canal. It flies slowly and a dip-fishing flight is usually quite short, in this case about 70 feet (20 metres). The egret looks ahead to see if the disturbance has caused a fish to swim away.

Before this shot, he was lifting her triumphantly into the air. She seemed very enthusiastic about that. She started seeming decidedly less enthusiastic when he started lowering her whole body into the freezing water.
Skinny Dip - New Belgium; Fort Collins, CO.
They say: "you can drop everything for New Belgium's Skinny Dip, a full-bodied beer that's designed for the summer dress code. Cascade hops frolic with a splash of kaffir lime leaf cresting a bright, citrusy palate that's as crisp as chilling in a mountain pond. Skinny Dip- a most revealing beverage.
Tastes like: medium body, slight carmel and wheat notes.
Feelings: not my fave, in fact my least favorite New Belgium so far. Still, it's New Belgium, so I would repeat.
Drank at: SD condo with TC, JMD and MHD with BBQ and some movie watching.
