It's been a while, but I've been trying to keep up with a photo a day even if I haven't been uploading. My boys are obsessed with cars right now, so whenever we've stayed at a hotel it's always a treat for them to have a window facing the street. This is great for photos due to the window light =)
As always, critique is welcome.
Kalojam, also known as Black Plum, is an evergreen tropical tree native to Bangladesh, India and Indonesia region. This fruit is available only during Aashar month (আষাঢ়). They might look similar to Blackberry but their taste varies a lot!!
We, Bengali, usually eat them making 'Bhorta' by smashing some with salt, sugar, green chilies. It's quite funny to eat since you have to throw the seeds away on every bite!!!
You can make some sweet n' sour squash out of it too! Here's the recipe for you--->
- Take 1kg of Kalojam on a deep bottom pan. Add water just to submerge the berries. Boil them for 10 mins or so, just to soften the berries enough to make pulp. Turn off the flame & let it cool down a little bit.
- While it's still warm, use your washed hand to crush them well to separate the seeds.
- Take a cheese-cloth, with the help of a spoon, put few of this pulp and squeeze them very well & let the juice pour into a new clean deep bottom pan. This way all the juice will be out leaving the pulp & seeds out (thus making a clear squash).
-Now measure the juice. For 4 cups of Kalojam Juice, add 3 cups of sugar. (Remember this measurement & calculate yours)
-Bring it to boil till the sugar melts. Some foam might create while boiling. Don't discard them as they will dissolve while cooling down.
- Add 1 Tsp of Citric acid. Boil for 1 more minute & turn off the flame.
-Let the squash cool down completely. Pour them into clean dry bottles & you can keep them in refrigerators for up to 1 month.
- Add few Tbsp of this squash in a glass, add some ice & water. You can add some rock salt & ground cumin if you want to make it taste more fancy Bengali flavor!!!

A lonely little penguin is searching for some fish. It came all the way to the UK and eventually might get some fish in the store :P. Let's hope.

Sometimes the bears don't really act out. That is when I ask a few if they would like to pose for pictures. Fortunately these three said yes. I could not remember the other two bears names. Gerry of course is my steadfast buddy and hangs with me a great deal.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday

Windowlight
A quiet windowlight
Presses softly on written page,
Warm, soporific,
Lulling me inexorably
To the place where printed words
Dance entwined
To music only they can hear.
And time, inconsequential.
Words to music, music to light
The mystery’s revealed.
Clear and simple,
As windowlight pauses
On written page
