I was listening to this Buddhist monk talk this morning. At one point he focused on how often we forget we deserve good things in our lives, instead we think we don't deserve. For this reason he use to say Yes I DESERVE IT whenever there is the opportunity. It can be because of a compliment or a good thing happened to him. Then he says, loud: thanks, I deserve it. :-)
I found this true. We often forget to deserve good things, and we don't care of ourselves.
Last sunday I was at a BBQ party of my friends Alessia and Charlie, who got married last year and have just moved to a new big house. We were enjoying the nice weather and the happy atmosphere in their garden, when Charlie came out with a homemade lemon cake and two ice creams. As a couple they use to cook often toghether and prepare nice food and cakes even without guest...why? First of all they love each other, but overall they deserve it, without a particular reason.
Anyway their fridge lemon cake was lovely, so... I asked for the recipee and made this afternoon!!!
Ingredients:
1/2 packet digestive biscuits, crushed
50g melted margarine or butter
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 lemon juice and lemon skin
300ml fresh double cream
Optional: Berries, lavender for decoration
Method:
Combine digestive biscuits and melted margarine or butter; tip into a buttered cake tin and using the back of a tablespoon, press down firmly. Put in oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.
Whip cream, adding the skin of lemons and Condensed Milk.
Then slowly pour the lemon juice and all the mixture will become thick!
Spoon this mixture over the biscuit base (when it is cold), cover with cling film and leave it for a few hours or overnight to set in the fridge.
I have decorated this lemon fridge with raspberry, blueberry and lavender.
Why I made this?
Of course...
'Cause I DESERVE IT.
This cake has been shared with my flatmate, and has improved much our relations !
