What do I do with my sweet tooth🤦♀
Hello fellas!I was missing in action or MIA for a couple of days and now I'm back with more enthusiasm.I celebrated Eid-ul-Adha with my family and cousins.Belated eid mubarak again,peeps!Hope you all are doing well and staying safe and sound.
I'm a sweet freak and I have a big sweet tooth.Every second day,I end up making a sweet dish. 😅
I just made this Kunafa.Now I'm back from kitchen and writing this article.Kunafa is a Turkish dessert.Even though I'm a Bangladeshi,I love to try different cuisines.
This is most probably the 5th time I made this.I also made 30 chocolate cupcakes the day before Eid for friends and family.
I also tried lemon cupcakes and wrote an article before.
This article is all about desserts and my sweet tooth.Oh no,I'm gonna become even chubbier.Trying to lose that extra fat by working out.
Tried mango kulfi last month.I have an article about the recipe.It was great!
More cupcakes!Don't kill me,guys.
Tried peanut cookies.It came out really nice!My parents loved it.
Doughnuts!It was my first try.Doesn't look too good but okay.
Self-made😌
Not a dessert exactly.But who doesn't like fresh raw mango juice!It's sweetened by the way.I gotta stop eating this much sweets. 🤦♀
Self-made Jilapi!
Okay,I'm done for now.I love sweet things and I'm trying to improve my skills.Hope you guys liked it.Thank you!
Cute lemon cupcakes!
Hello people!Hope you all are doing well.Today I'm gonna share the easy recipe of lemon cupcakes.They are so cute!And they came out really nice.
Ingredients:
Sugar-1 cup
Lemon zest-2 tbsp
Melted butter-3/4 cup
Milk-1/4 cup
Fresh lemon juice-1/4 cup
Eggs-2
Sour cream or yogurt-1/2 cup
Flour-1 and 2/3 cups
Baking powder-almost 2 tsp
I made the lemon glaze with some condensed milk and lime juice.According to the number of cupcakes,you take both in equal amount and mix well.
Preparation:
1.With a beater or whisk,mix the wet ingredients.I beat the egg white separately but it's completely optional.
2.Mix baking powder,salt and flour with the batter and beat it.But don't over mix.Over mixing may cause shrinking of the cupcakes.
3.Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degree celcius.Place the batter into mold and bake at 190 degree celcius for 5 minutes and then 170 degree celcius for 15-20 minutes.
4.Garnish the cakes with lemon glaze and lemon zest and they are ready to eat!
I made 8 fluffy cupcakes from this batter.

Why should we take vitamin-C,vitamin-D,Zinc and other minerals during this pandemic?
Hello everyone,when a patient suffer from covid 19, we suggest the patient to take Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc etc. But why??
How these supplements help to fight against Corona Virus? Doctors are also suggesting healthy people to take these supplements.
In this discussion,we will know the roles played by these 3 supplements against Covid-19.
**Vitamin C**
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it can fight oxidative damage. When the immune system activates to kill a pathogen ( read corona virus) it may also cause oxidative damage. This suggests that vitamin C could fight the damage that the disease-fighting process causes.
It also aids healthy immune function by supporting the development of white blood cells.
In its role as an antioxidant, vitamin C may also help fight inflammation ( read when corona virus enters in our body, patients may experience dangerous level of inflammation), which can damage the lungs and other
**Vitamin D**
Nearly all immune cells have vitamin D receptors, showing vitamin D interacts with the immune system.
The active vitamin D hormone, calcitriol, helps regulate both the innate and adaptive immune systems, our first and second lines of defence against pathogens ( read corona vitus).
And vitamin D deficiency is associated with immune dysregulation, a breakdown or change in the control of immune system processes.
Many of the ways calcitriol affects the immune system are directly relevant to our ability to defend against viruses.
For example, calcitriol triggers the production of cathelicidin and other defensins – natural antivirals capable of preventing the virus from replicating and entering a cell.
Calcitriol can also increase the number of a particular type of immune cell (CD8+ T cells), which play a critical role in clearing acute viral infections in the lungs.
Calcitriol also suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines, molecules secreted from immune cells which, as their name suggests, promote inflammation. Some scientists have suggested vitamin D might help to alleviate the “cytokine storm ( you know, most of the death in Covid 19 is due to cytokine storm).
**Zinc**
Zn may also protect or stabilize the cell membrane which could contribute to blocking of the virus ( read corona virus) entry into the cell. It has been hypothesized that Zn supplementation may be of potential benefit for prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19.
The big bang theory:My all time favorite series
Hello everyone!Hope you all are doing well,safe and sound.Today I'm here to share my thoughts on my favourite tv series till now.I'm a great sitcom fan.The big bang theory just won my heart.
This American series is the story of a group of friends who always got each others back.Sheldon,Leonard,Penny,Raj,Howard,Amy and Bernadette are the main characters.They connected life,love,science,humour so well that it caught my attention for 12 seasons and now I want more.Leonard is my favourite character.He's the wisest.I also got him on my phone's cover😅
Sheldon is a big baby.He's a genius but always needs to be taken care of.Each and every character has it's own importance.I love how they always take care of each other in every situation and never ditch each other.
It's a lengthy series but worth time.I just loveee it.🥰 It has taught me many lessons and also many things about science.
Lovely tale of friendship.So humorous!This series worked as a stress reliever for me.Those who haven’t watched it,you guys can give it a try!
I'm noob at writing.I just shared my thoughts.Hope you guys like it.Feel free to comment below.
Thank you everyone.☺
The fault in our stars:not a book review
Hello everyone!Hope you all are doing well.I'm here to share my thoughts on various topics.Today I'll write about one of my favourite books.But this is not a review.Just a thought!
I read this book a long time ago.Watched the movie of same name few days back.I could not hold my tears.The book is mesmerizing.Writer John Green did an amazing job.What cought my attention is,the writing is quite in easy language and it was easy to understand.Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters became my favourite since the day I finished the book.It's a best seller for a reason I must say!The emotional and physical journey of both the characters were heart touching.The other characters like Hazel's parents,Peter Van Houten,Isaac everyone caught attention.
The story is as funny as heart breaking.a bitter sweet story of life,death and love in between.I love their humour.I still remember Gus saying,"Hazel Grace,it will be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."According to Gus,the world is not a wish granting factory.True indeed!
Most of the people I know who read this book loved it.You guys who haven’t,can give it a try!
Feel free to share your thoughts guys.
Thank you!
