Im getting to writing this a little later then normal. Not wildly later. But I felt like I lost a lot of energy after work and am just feeling a little better right now. Thankfully sleeping last night after James brought me home juice and a donut knocked out my headache. And I slept pretty well for the most part. Waking up is still hard but it wasnt so bad today.

I got up and washed and dressed. I felt a little off but not to bad. Dasia let me know she wasnt going to be in and that was alright. We had someone else coming today anyway so it just worked out. James drove me to work and I was happy about that.

I was a little upset though because I had seen a dead cat on the road yesterday and I didnt want to see it squished today. So when we got near there I told James I was going to close my eyes because it had upset me so bad yesterday. And he let me know we had passed it but then was about to tell me what it looked like!! I literally just closed my eyes to not see!! He didnt tell me but it threw me off that he would do that.

But soon I was at work and I had to focus on the kids. And they were a little tougher today. The two newer girls lied to me a lot today. First about classwork, then about their actual classes. And they figured out a work around to get on youtube (which is supposed to be blocked on their chromebooks) and we caught them on them multiple times today. To say I was stress about this would be an understatement. I dont like talking to the kids so sternly but I was not happy. And after having such a nice day yesterday. Ugh.

Then I went to have a snack and discovered that my bunny grahams tasted like tomatoes sauce because of the container they were in and the actual lunch of leftovers was spoiled and I just sort of spiraled in upset. Texting James and being upset and frustrated and so to try to help me feel less grossed out he promised to clean out the fridge and he did and that made me feel a little better. But it didnt help my food situation much. Thankfully I still had grapes and cashews but it was just a weird food day.

We had some fun though. Sewing. Working on things. Skateboarding at lunch. It was a beautiful day and that helped my weird feelings. We only got outside once though because the kids had a lot of afternoon stuff. Though the sisters told me they didnt have anything for almost 2 hours and when I insisted on looking at their schedule I discovered they both had a whole class that they may have never gone to?? Like ever?? I think their parent, or the people at the other daycare they had been going to, dont know how to use the schoology site and so they had gotten used to being able to show them a page and be like "See! I did everything Im supposed to do!" but I opened up like two things and found they havent actually completed anything. So I made them complete a few of them at least. I hope mom comes in tomorrow morning so we can talk about it. I know she knows the one was behind but I dont think she is aware by how much they both are. Im trying my best for sure but man. Frustrating.

Soon the day was wrapping up. And James was on his way to come get me. I finished cleaning up my area and was about to leave when I remebered I left the ipad in the class so I went back in and found that the two girls who I know had class for another half hour were on youtube again!! I told Mr Burns, who takes over after me, and so he went in to watch them closer. So frustrating.

But James was here and off we went. We stopped at tacobell since I had no lunch. And then we drove out to Timonium so I could meet up with an guy I bought James a christmas gift from. He was having shipping issues and because we were so close I was like. Its all good Ill come to you and he was really nice. The building was the Pay Pal office and it was really pretty inside, all marble. Plants. And the guy was really nice and I think James will really like the gifts. The guy gave me another free thing for driving out there.

We headed home after that. But made a pitstop for a milkshake. Which was good but I think zapped my energy.

We got home and James went to play video games and I went to pack up some orders. Be proud, I surpassed $800 in sales today. In my first month!! Im pretty proud of that. But I packed those up and took them down for drop off. And then I felt weird and tired so I went and laid in bed and watched a video until James got off the switch so I could play for a little. I just did some clean up and some christmas decorating. But then I got off and got back to laying in bed. Being mopey.

Eventually James came and laid with me. But he had been cutting peppers and touched my face and them my face was burning from the peppers!! Rude. So we had to run to the bathroom to wash my face and his hands.

I did mope around a little more but then we got to work on decorating our tree and that was fun. James had dried an orange and I strung those slices with cinnamon and anise stars. We might add cranberries but I am really happy with how it looks and it smells like black licorice but its so cute. It was a fun activity for sure.

Once that was done I got to work and made some more bears that Im really proud of. Im going to have to get more fluffy fabric even though it sucks to sew because the results are just to good. Just entirely to cute. So I worked on those until almost 930 and finally called it a day.

I went and showered and washed my hair. I found sweetP sleeping in the towel basket in the closet. So cute. And now I am in bed. I have to dry my hair still. But I feel a lot better. Just sleepy.

I hope tomorrow is a good day with less lying and more just hanging out and enjoying the day. I hope you all have a nice night and a great day. Goodnight everyone!

21 Sparkling-Cocktail Recipes for a Bubbly New Year's Eve

[Photographs: Elana Lepkowski, Vicky Wasik]

It's always fun to ring in the New Year with a glass of bubbly. If you're celebrating with just a few other people, it might be worth busting out a fancy bottle of Champagne—or the best Cava, or Prosecco. But good sparkling wine in large quantities can get expensive quickly, so if you're hosting a party, you might want a way to stretch your supply.

That's where sparkling cocktails come in. Once you cut the wine with booze and mixers, there's little detectable difference between an expensive bottle and a cheap one, and the pop and fizz are just as festive. To toast the New Year with delicious drinks that won't break the bank, check out 21 of our favorite sparkling-cocktail recipes below, including a classic French 75 (and several variations), a bittersweet Negroni Sbagliato, and unusual bubbly takes on traditional drinks like the Jungle Bird and caipirinha.

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

This classic drink is, without a doubt, the most elegant cocktail to ever be named after a piece of heavy artillery. It's made by combining sparkling wine with herbal gin, tart lemon juice, and a little sugar, for a drink that's perfectly balanced—the proportions of liquor and sugar make it just strong and sweet enough.

French 75 Recipe »

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

If you're in the mood to change things up this New Year's, the French 75 is ripe for variation, as this recipe (and a number of the ones that follow) proves. With its blend of lightly aged rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, and orange curaçao, this slightly tiki-inspired version will take you out of the cold grip of winter and momentarily transport you to a tropical island. A couple of drops of Angostura bitters gives the drink just a touch of spice.

Silver Daisy (Sparkling Rum Cocktail) Recipe »

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

This recipe takes a little more effort than a typical French 75, but the results are worth it. We start with sparkling wine, gin, and grapefruit juice, then add a homemade spiced cherry cordial flavored with cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, and cloves. The cordial can be made several weeks in advance, and you'll likely have some left over; it's great served with club soda and a squeeze of citrus juice for a nonalcoholic refresher.

A Minnesota Good-Bye (Cranberry French 75) Recipe »

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

There's more to sparkling wine than the most common white varieties, like Champagne and Prosecco. This French 75 twist makes use of a well-known red variant, Lambrusco. To complement the wine's bold, fruity flavor, we turn to caramelly, bittersweet Amaro Lucano, fresh mint, and just a dash of white balsamic vinegar for tartness.

Bellissimo Aceto (Lambrusco-Amaro Cocktail) Recipe »

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

This drink is more of a departure from a traditional French 75 than its cousins above, as it isn't made with wine at all. Instead, we use Austrian Stiegl-Radler Grapefruit, a canned beer-and-grapefruit-soda combination. The light radler is kicked up with gin and lemon juice to make an incredibly refreshing cocktail, one that's as tasty at brunch any time of year as it is on New Year's Eve.

Salzburg 75 (Grapefruit Radler French 75 Variation) Recipe »

[Photograph: Elana Lepkowski]

If you're committed to drinking until (at least) midnight on New Year's, then it's a good idea to pace yourself with lighter concoctions. This cocktail, for instance, doesn't contain any hard liquor—we mix the sparkling wine with a sweet-tart cranberry–black pepper shrub instead. The drink is well suited to entertaining, since the shrub can be made far in advance.

Tangy Cranberry–Black Pepper Shrub Cocktail Recipe »

[Photograph: Elana Lepkowski]

Suze is a floral, citrusy, bittersweet French aperitif that's perfect for fans of Lillet. Mixed with sparkling wine and a lemon-sage syrup, it's another light cocktail that won't knock you out before midnight arrives. The syrup can be made up to a week in advance and can be mixed with the Suze on the 30th, minimizing the work you'll have to do on New Year's Eve.

Sparkling Lemon-Suze Pitcher Cocktail Recipe »

[Photograph: Elana Lepkowski]

This one's for the true apple lovers—it combines apple brandy and muddled fresh apples with nutty oloroso sherry and citrusy Mandarine Napoléon liqueur. Mandarine Napoléon probably isn't a standard part of your home bar, so feel free to substitute it with Grand Marnier. The drink gets topped off with a few ounces of Prosecco.

Legend has it that the Negroni Sbagliato was invented when a bartender was making a Negroni and absent-mindedly reached for a bottle of sparkling wine instead of gin—sbagliato is the Italian word for "bungled" or "mistaken." The story sounds apocryphal to me, but that doesn't change the fact that sparkling wine is a lovely partner for Campari and vermouth.

There's more to cranberry cocktails than overly sweet Cosmos and vodka-cranberries. This (partly) make-ahead pitcher drink treats the fruit right, mixing tangy, unsweetened 100% cranberry juice with white rum. Orange zest and fresh ginger make the cocktail taste a little like cranberry sauce, in a good way, and the whole thing gets topped off with sparkling wine right before serving.

Brazil's answer to the daiquiri, the caipirinha swaps out rum in favor of cachaça and uses whole lime pieces instead of just lime juice. It's an intense cocktail, one that we tame here slightly with pomegranate juice and fizzy sparkling wine, resulting in a pretty and festive drink for New Year's.

I'm usually skeptical of floral cocktails, since badly made ones make me feel like I'm drinking perfume. This one, though, works wonderfully well. The herbal gin and floral chamomile are offset nicely by tangerine juice and tart white balsamic vinegar, and the addition of sparkling wine makes it just right for a party.

Lemon juice is one of the most common cocktail ingredients around, but I'm willing to bet you haven't had it like this. Searing lemons in a skillet gives them a much deeper flavor and tames their harsh bite. We like to combine this complex charred-lemon juice with woodsy rosemary and gin—go with something botanical-rich, like Botanivore from St. George Spirits.

Sangria probably isn't the first drink you associate with winter, since most of the fruits you'd make it with are out of season this time of year. But grapefruit is at its prime right now, and who doesn't love sangria at a party? That's reason enough to try making this citrusy sangria with grapefruit juice, mint, and bittersweet Lillet Rosé topped off with Cava.

This drink looks a lot like a Negroni Sbagliato, with its combination of Prosecco, Campari, and sweet vermouth (or quinine-flavored Cocchi Rosa). But it comes into its own when you add a dash of absinthe, which gives it a subtle anise aroma. Besides the Prosecco, we add club soda for some extra effervescence.

This simple drink combines fresh apple cider, crisp Prosecco, and herbal, honeyed Bénédictine. The result is fruity but not too sweet, and it's super refreshing. Be sure to use a good-quality cider here—fresh and local is best.

Named after an amusing piece of old American slang, this cocktail spikes sparkling wine with floral St-Germain elderflower liqueur, tart lemon juice, and gin. We sweeten the drink with a thyme-infused syrup—you can make it with any variety of fresh thyme, but use lemon thyme if you can get your hands on it.

23 Skiddoo Recipe »

The Devereaux also relies on the time-honored combination of sparkling wine and elderflower liqueur, but replaces the gin in the 23 Skiddoo with Bulleit bourbon. We also throw in a lemon's worth of juice to brighten it up, plus a standard simple syrup for sweetness.

The Devereaux Recipe »

Made with Campari, rum, lime, and fresh pineapple, the Jungle Bird is a tiki classic. We give this bubbly variation a complex richness by roasting the pineapple, which we then infuse into aged rum, along with lime zest and juice. The infused rum is mixed with dark rum (yes, double the rum!) and Campari, then finished with a splash of sparkling wine.

This sweet, spiced cocktail doesn't get its bubbles from any sort of wine or Champagne. Instead, aged rum is combined with apple cider (whether it's from the orchard, farmers market, or refrigerator aisle) and chilled sparkling apple cider. Garnishing the cocktail with a star anise pod and an apple chip gives this simple yet delicious drink the flourish it needs to impress.

Spike the Kiddie Table (Sparkling Cider Rum Cocktail) Recipe »

It may sound really out there to use sesame oil in a cocktail, but this fantastic drink, created by Ran Duan of the Baldwin Bar at Sichuan Garden in Woburn, Massachusetts, turns out delicately spicy, tart, and just subtly savory. Fresh ginger juice and plain club soda keep the rich and smoky mezcal in check for a drink that's complex and refreshing.

11 Potluck Dishes That Will Get You Invited Back For Thanksgiving

Berry Fresh

Cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving essential, and this homemade version by Miss Robbie Montgomery, star of OWN’s “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” and author of the new Sweetie Pie’s Cookbook, is the stuff of tradition. “My friend Mrs. Strauss told me how to make it, and it’s so good,” Miss Robbie says. “For almost 20 years I’ve been giving my Thanksgiving guests jars of it to take home.”

Get the recipe: Pineapple-Cranberry Sauce

Hot Potatoes

For a more sophisticated take on mashed potatoes, try a gratin of sweet and russet potato slices layered in Gruyre, cream and pumpkin puree; it’s a favorite of Adam and Jackie Sappington, chefs and owners of the Country Cat in Portland, Oregon, and authors of the new cookbook Heartlandia. “I always make it a day ahead so I have more time with everyone on Thanksgiving,” says Adam. “Plus, when you give the dried herbs time to bloom overnight, the flavors get even better.”

Get the recipe: Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Gratin

Give It a Swirl

“A soup is a nice first course to get festivities under way, and it doesn’t have to be super filling,” says chef and O columnist Curtis Stone, whose velvety carrot soup garnished with rich celery root cream and crispy prosciutto showcases fall’s earthy vegetables. “We often overlook the appetizer and go straight to the turkey and the gravy and the stuffing. A soup is the perfect add-on people don’t often think to make, and this one works hot or cold.”

Get the recipe: Carrot Soup with Celery Root Cream and Prosciutto Chips

Wings of Victory

“What I enjoy most about turkey is the super-crispy skin,” says Brandon Kida, executive chef at L.A’s Hinoki & the Bird, who created these succulent turkey wings. “This way, everyone gets a helping. Plus, it’s Thanksgiving and football is on, right?” Coat them with spicy cranberry-habanero sauce or drizzle with sweet maple-sage sauce, and dip in cooling walnut crme frache.

Get the recipe: Slow-Roasted Turkey Wings

Green Light

Next to all the decadent sides, everyone will appreciate something refreshing, like this sweet-tart salad from Andrew Weil, MD, author of the new cookbook Fast Food, Good Food. “The different colors and textures make it a real eye-catcher,” he says. The dressing, which pairs orange juice and zest with a dash of cinnamon, softens the raw Tuscan kale without wilting it — so you can toss it ahead of time.

Get the recipe: Kale Salad with Oranges, Cranberries and Maple-Toasted Walnuts

Pineapple Express

This pimento cheese and pineapple casserole from chef Sarah Simmons’s New York City restaurant Birds & Bubbles is a fancier version of her Aunt Edna’s famous dish. “It’s got all the things you wanta little salt, a little sweet, a little texture, creaminess,” Simmons says. “It’s fantastic hot, but I actually prefer it at room temperature. Which is great, because then you don’t have to fight for oven space.”

Get the recipe: Pineapple Casserole

Spice of Life

Squash doesn’t need to be creamy or sweetened to have crowd appeal. Anita Lo, executive chef and owner of the New York City restaurant Annisa, drizzles chunks of kabocha with a sauce inspired by a traditional Mexican mole — a mix of extra-dark chocolate, shallots and garlic, plus warming spices like cumin, cinnamon and star anise. Kabocha makes for easy cooking and eating since its peel is edible, Lo says, and the unexpected topping gives it an addictive twist: “A little bitterness balances the squash’s sweet flavor.”

Get the recipe: Roasted Squash with Mole Sauce

Northern Exposure

Instead of bringing yet another pie, pack a cooler with Amanda Cohen’s modern spin on Nanaimo bars, a layered dessert popular in her native Canada. When the chef and owner of the New York City restaurant Dirt Candy first moved to the States, she made this her signature contribution to Thanksgiving gatherings. “Everybody likes the person who brings ice cream,” says Cohen.

Get the recipe: Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Nanaimo Bars

Special Sauces

Score major points this Thanksgiving — or any game day — with these three accompaniments to chef Brandon Kida’s crispy beer-roasted turkey wings, his seasonal take on the Buffalo wing. You might also try dipping sweet-potato or barbecue chips in the Cranberry-Habanero Sauce or Walnut Cream, or mixing the Sage Maple Syrup Drizzle into a batch of popcorn.

CHUCK THAT KIWI : CHECK THESE NATIVE FRUIT INSTEAD

From the Himalayas to the tropical south, we are lucky to be blessed with a variety of climatic conditions that allow fruit from all over the world to find a home. India holds the distinction of being the world’s second largest producer of fruit, and are now the world’s top producer of several fruit, including guava and banana — neither of which are indigenous to India.

Sure, we are lucky to have the 'King of Fruit' be native to our country, along with the coconut and even the pomegranate, but we (and the plant kingdom) accepted globalisation a long time ago. Neither the onion, garlic nor chilli are native to this country, having *only* reached some 5000 years ago.

And so it is with our fruit.

Our world was a mash-up of food, culture, plants and people centuries before the Internet and 'neo-globalisation'. The idea of a 'pure' race, species or culture is, at best, imaginary. Nonetheless, we have a treasure chest of indigenous fruits that are often, too 'inconvenient' to be mass produced, due to either a short shelf life, annoying seeds, or a long gestation period. But they hold within them the stories of our ancestors, of our land and our culture. They need to be saved, if only to maintain the intricate cycles of biodiversity that we, and our planet, thrive on.

PHALSA Grewia asiatica Phalsa is a small berry in a gorgeous plum colour, with a hard shell that hides white, grape-like flesh inside. The berry is sweet, but balanced with astringent, acidic and sour notes, or the flavours of cranberry, grape and jamun. Unsurprisingly, given the fruit’s arrival during the scorching months of summer , it acts as a coolant and is used to treat dehydration.

Peak season Phalsa is a summer fruit, and is readily available from March to June acorss the country. The harvesting season however, is short, lasting only three weeks.

How to cook it Phalsa sherbet is a legendary summer drink employing its tart flavour and anti-coolant properties to full effect. It is, however, exceptionally difficult to de-seed. Traditionally, the fruit is soaked overnight in a shallow bowl of water, squished by hand, and then passed through a sieve. Once juiced, it is easy to make the delicious syrup that has long been a delicacy in northern India. It is often used as a substitute in recipes that call for black currant.

Flavour complements Cranberry, strawberry, mulberry, cherry, jamun, tomato, mint, bananas, lamb/game, pinot noir, chocolate, salt.

Growing the fruit at home The phalsa tree is a drought-resistant, hardy plant that can grow in most kinds of soil. Because it is more of a shrub, and the flowers are beautiful, it makes for an excellent house-plant.

WATER CALTROPE (SINGHADA) Trapa genus Contrary to popular belief, singhada is not the water chestnut. Though they look and behave extremely similar, the true singhada is far more sinister — winged like a bat, it is extremely poisonous when raw.

Though not of the same family, the water chestnut could be called a close 'family friend'. Fresh chestnuts are flavourful: sweet, nutty and tart, flavoured like a cross between coconut and apple. Water chestnuts are a staple in Chinese cooking, often found in stir-fries and wantons. Seeds of some species of these nuts are preserved in honey and sugar, and candied.

Singhada or water caltrope however, is darker, and has a nutty flavour, reminiscent of chestnuts, brazil nuts and peanuts, with a hint of sweetness. Its texture is starchy and crumbly.

Peak season Not unlike other shelled nuts, caltrops are an autumn and early winter treat. They are most often planted in June, and bear fruit in November.

How to cook it They are either boiled or slow-dried and roasted before opening. Be warned that opening and extracting the meat is a time-consuming task. Traditionally, the fruit is dried and ground to a flour called singhare ka atta, used in many religious foods and ubiquitous in the phalahar (fruit diet) during the navratas. There are also several versions of a singhada ki sabzi made around the country, putting its starchy fullness to good use.

Flavour complements Star anise, mango, pepper, bacon, Indian masalas, soya, garlic, vinegar, mayonnaise, spinach, green onions, asparagus, onions, oyster sauce, prawn, chicken, beef, pork.

Growing the fruit at home Water chestnuts are easy to grow in any container that holds water. Seed tubers directly into soil and fill with water. You will have to uproot the plant to harvest, since the nuts are the root of the plant.

STARFRUIT Averrhoa carambola

Green and firm when raw, and a subtle yellow with 'burnt' edges when ripe, this fruit is named for the star-shaped discs it yields when sliced. The fruit is fragile but crunchy to the bite, a watery hybrid between grape and pear. Ripe starfruit are mildly sweet, with sugar content that hovers at about 4%, and a tart, sour undertone. Unripe starfruit are firm and sour, and taste very much like green apples.

A variant of the starfruit is the Indian variety of bilimbi. This fruit is far more acerbic, and without the five ridges that lend its cousin a visual edge. Bilimbi lemonades are famous and the fruit is often used in chutneys, pickles and jams.

Peak season Star fruit season is year-round, although they flourish during two particular times of the year: September through October, and January through February.

How to cook it The starfruit has travelled far and wide, and both raw and ripe varieties are used all over the world. They are used in relishes in Australia, consumed dried in Jamaica, and used in Thailand and China to cook alongside shrimp and fish. Many in India use raw star fruit as a substitute for tamarind, even using it to make a starfruit rasam. Both ripe and raw starfruit are great in salads, particularly on Asian-inspired menus. They also make for great desserts when stewed. The starfruit is presently going through a renaissance on the cocktail front, and many bars in India have wholeheartedly embraced the fruit.

Flavour complements The duality of starfruit is in its mild flavor. Although too subtle on its own, the fruit's delicate flavour lends itself to pairings very well. See: Bilimbi, kiwi, pineapple, orange, banana, strawberry, cacao, cashew apple, guava, citron, coconut, cucumber, kokum, kumquat, lemon, lime, lychee, mango, mangosteen, nungu, papaya, passion fruit, pomegranate, pomelo, rambutan, amla, sweet lime.

Vegetables: Tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, celery root, celery stalk, cabbage, radish, shredded raw papaya, shredded raw mango, kimchi, onion.

Herbs, oil, and spices: The star fruit is well complemented by most nuts and seeds, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, lemongrass, chilli, turmeric, coriander, cumin, black pepper, basil, mint, liquorice, anise, clove, nutmeg, cardamom, saffron, vanilla, black tea, green tea, sugar syrup, jaggery, agave, vodka, rum, white wine, champagne, ginger, sesame oil, coconut oil, coconut milk.

Growing the fruit at home The ‘Maher Dwarf’ variety bears small to medium-sized fruit on a three-foot tall tree. Its beautiful pink flowers make it a pretty addition to any garden, even when the fruit is not in season.

BAEL (WOOD APPLE) Limonia acidissima As the name suggests, this fruit literally looks like an apple made out of wood. Its hard, wood-like exterior conceals a creamy orange pulp.

Its flavour is sweet, pungent and lemony, with a pleasantly fermented aftertaste. When raw, it can be compared with the tamarind. The texture of its flesh is granular and fibrous, yet damp and sticky. Its numerous tiny, hard seeds require no spitting or removal. You will know the fruit has ripened when you catch a whiff of its unique aroma: a fermented sweetness, similar to raisins or blue cheese!

Peak season India’s bael season is February through May.

How to cook it A few soft, consistent blows with a heavy knife around the middle will help open the fruit. Raw wood apple is often used as a substitute for tamarind in chutneys, and in a delicious Andhra pachadi with yogurt and chillies. The ripe fruit can be used in a variety of desserts — from pancakes to custard, panna cotta and ice cream.

Flavour complements Tamarind, orange, lemon, lime, kumquat, vanilla, coconut milk, dairy products, chilli, fennel, pepper, nuts.

Growing the fruit at home The wood apple tree, grown from seed, can take up to 15 years to fruit. They grow into large, shade-giving trees — perfect for the dry plains that they are native to.

KARONDA Carissa carandas A nutrition-heavy wild berry, the karonda is an olive-shaped fruit with tiny seeds at its core. These pinkish-white berries are sour with the dry astringent taste of jamun. They do have a slight, almost-salty taste that lends it the depth of umami. Extremely addictive when sprinkled with a bit of rock salt.

The natal plum (Carissa spinarum), bears close resemblance in name, appearance and lineage, and cause many to mistake karonda for its sweeter cousin.

Peak season Fruit harvest is August through October, though unripe fruit gets plucked from May to June.

How to cook it In India, karonda has traditionally been relegated to the pickles-&-chutney aisle. However, in its ripe form, the karonda has now become commercially viable as India's answer to the maraschino cherry. They are also a great substitute for recipes that require cranberries, turning a tender, luscious purple as they ripen. A great source of natural pectin, these berries also make for great jams and sweet pickles. When sweetened in brown sugar, clove, and cinnamon, karondas can substitute apple in tarts and pies. For a more modern riff, they are great addition in salsas; their flavours balancing well with avocado and lime.

Flavour complements Cranberry, raw mango, amla, orange, lemon, pear, ricotta, almonds, tamarind paste, turmeric, chili, garam masala, parsley, fenugreek, asafoetida, coriander, lime, mustard seed, garlic, vinegar, salt, curry leaves, white wine, nutmeg, anise.

Growing the fruit at home Karonda is a perennial evergreen that is often used as spiny ornamental plant with beautiful jasmine-like white flowers. It grows well in most parts of India.

BUDDHA'S HAND Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis India is one of only three countries in the world that grow this fruit, and we must start putting it to good use. This intriguing fruit has no pulp, juice, and or seeds. It wholly consists of rind – but oh, what a rind it is.

On her website, chef Julie Logue-Riordan writes about cooking with the zest, describing overtones of ‘coconut, macadamia nut, banana, light caramel and cinnamon.’ Buddha’s Hand also trumps other kinds of citrus in that it lacks bitterness, and the zest can be used whole.

Peak season Buddha’s hand season is in the winter, from November through January.

How to cook it You can substitute this fruit in any recipe calling for a lemon zest, but its complexity carries it far beyond the call of duty. A teaspoon of finely ground rind can go into tea, smoothies, juice, or even plain water. Same with alcohol infusions (Buddhacello!). It also makes for delicious vinaigrettes, marinades for tofu and fish, in soy dips, tamarind pastes and date-based sweet glazes.

Flavour complements Fruits All citrus fruit, passion fruit, apricot, peach, fig, pomegranate, cacao, bel, date, wood apple, kiwi, kokum, tamarind, kumquat, sea buckthorn, mango.

Vegetables: Bell pepper, tomato, bamboo, asparagus, fiddlehead fern, beans, raw papaya, leeks, cucumber.

Herbs, spices, and oil: Vanilla, cocoa, jasmine, orange blossom, mint, honey, coconut oil, white wine, vodka, amaretto, rum, olive oil, mustard, wasabi, thyme, lavender, lemongrass, green tea, black tea, miso, ginger, coriander, chilli.

Growing the fruit at home The Buddhas Hand is often planted as an ornamental tree in gardens, patios and terraces. It grows best in temperate conditions. Trees can be grown from cuttings of branches that are two to four years old.

TAARGOLA Borassus flabellifer This coconut-like fruit has a tough, black shell. It cuts like a coconut on the top, to reveal three translucent, sweet, jelly seed sockets, like lychees with no pit. Inside, this pod is a refreshing, sugary liquid similar to coconut water.

Peak season Palm fruit season is perfectly timed for the hot summers in South India from May through August.

How to cook it Its sweetness and gelatinous texture makes it a popular choice for sweet dishes from around India — it is delicious deep-fried in flour or rice batter. Thai pancakes are made from its flesh; it is also used in milkshakes, smoothies and juices. The jelly part of the fruit is covered with a thin, yellowish-brown skin that can even be eaten raw, boiled, or roasted.

Flavour complements Coconut, lime, mango, pineapple, papaya, jackfruit, sweet lime, orange, pomegranate, lychee, longan, kiwi, apple, pista, guava, dairy, avocado, rice, almond, cardamom, rose water, saffron, jaggery, pistachio, basil.

Growing the fruit at home Taargola grows on large, beautiful palm trees, which will be difficult in a balcony, but do very well in even a tiny garden space.

MYSORE RASPBERRY Rubus niveus The Mysore raspberry grows rampantly, but is hard to find in markets because of its high perishability. They do freeze well though, and will keep up to a year.

Unlike other variants of raspberry, the Mysore raspberry is red when unripe, and slowly shifts to a gorgeous, deep blue before settling on a rich purple hue. Taste-wise, they are more delicately flavoured than their more famous siblings, the raspberry and blackberry.

Peak season Mysore raspberries grow year-round, but the berries peak from May through July.

How to cook it In India, they are mostly just eaten straight off the plant. Mysore raspberry can be used as a substitute for any recipe calling for red raspberries and blackberries.

Flavour complements Apricot, cherry, fig, grape, date, plum, pomegranate, balsamic vinegar, basil, sage, mint, citrus, cinnamon, clove, ginger, cardamom, rose, port, red wine.

Growing it at home Mysore raspberries can easily be grown in your balcony garden, and often grow so profusely they will have to be constantly pruned to prevent overgrowth. Watch out for the spiny thorns, that are sometimes even on the leaves.

20 Healthy (Alcoholic) Drinks to Sip This Weekend

New Post has been published on http://www.kickoffme.com/20-healthy-alcoholic-drinks-to-sip-this-weekend/

20 Healthy (Alcoholic) Drinks to Sip This Weekend

Sure, an ice-cold margarita (or two) can be a refreshing treat, but most cocktails are huge sugar bombs, thanks ingredients like simple syrup, juice, and sweet liqueurs. Not all cocktails are nutritional landmines, however, and healthy alcoholic drinks do exist. We’ve rounded up 20 drinks that won’t totally ruin your diet—just in time for 4th of July weekend.

And while we know the word “healthy” is relative when it comes to booze, there are several ways to make occasional imbibing decidedly guilt-free. But remember: Everything in moderation. A few glasses of brut Champagne is OK, a few bottles is not.

1. Red wine

The antioxidants found in red wine, such as flavonoids and a substance called resveratrol, have heart-healthy benefits, so feel free to enjoy a glass or two.

2. Though if you’re looking to cut calories, go white

Red wine may have the health benefits, but white wines tend to be slightly lower in calories. Light whites such as Riesling and pinot grigio have fewer calories than those with higher alcohol content such as Chardonnay and sauvignon blanc.

3. Basic Bloody Mary with fresh tomato juice

The problem with these—though made with healthy tomato juice—is that pre-made mixes are typically packed with salt and additives. Try ditching the pre-bottled stuff and use no sugar-added, low-sodium tomato juice instead. From there, add in your fixings like one shot of vodka, a squeeze lemon, a teaspoon of horseradish, and a nice big celery stalk.

4. Dark and Stormy—that’s more like a Light and Stormy

This classic cocktail is made with fresh rum and ginger beer, which is packed with artificial sweeteners. Instead, mix 1 shot of light rum with two shots of sugar-free ginger ale and serve over ice.

5. White sangria without sugary extras

Sangria is wine-based, but it’s also packed with sugar, brandy and, often, ginger ale. To cut major calories, use white wine, tons of chopped fruit (we like apples, strawberries, pears, and peaches) and seltzer. You won’t miss the sweet stuff at all.

6. Tom Collins sans sugar

This lemonade-like cocktail is typically mixed with gin, sugar, lemon juice, and club soda. To lighten it up, use a shot of gin, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and top with seltzer. No penalties if you don’t have a Collins glass.

7. Light White Russian

This creamy dessert drink is packed with fat and calories, but it’s possible to still get the taste using lighter ingredients. Instead of heavy cream or half and half, combine chilled coffee with skim milk. From there, add a shot of vodka and lots of ice. Yum!

8. Margaritas done light

Most margaritas are loaded with calories, as they usually include sugar-filled liqueurs and mixers, like triple sec or simple syrup. Instead, combine tequila with fresh lime juice. If that’s too strong, pour in a dash of orange liqueur, but only a dash, as that’s where the calories are.

9. Healthier mimosa

Overall, orange juice and Champagne aren’t the worst ingredients, but you can still cut calories by using only fresh-squeezed OJ and replace half the bubbly with seltzer.

10. Guinness (yes, really!)

Despite its reputation, this super-thick Irish beer isn’t as caloric as you’d think. In fact, according to Men’s Fitness, a serving of the stout brew clocks in at just 126 calories, which is 19 less than a Budweiser and 24 less than a Heineken. Guinness also contains just under 10 carbs, which is less than something like Sam Adams Boston Lager (18 carbs per serving). Why? It’s partly due to Guinness’ low alcohol content.

11. Vodka and club soda

It might be a bit on the snoozy size, but this clean cocktail is a sure bet when it comes to low-cal imbibing. Spice it up with lots of fresh lemon, lime, or even sliced cucumber.

12. Mojito with honey, not syrup

Mojitos are typically loaded with simple syrup, which is quite easy to replace. Muddle a sliced lime with fresh mint leaves, and add rum, club soda and a half-teaspoon of honey for a touch of sweetness sans extra calories.

13. Champagne—but check the label

All sparking wines have sugar—it’s required for fermentation—but there are measures you can take to cut calories. According to Shape, it pays to stick with Brut nature varieties of Champagne (“brut” signifies that little extra sugar has been added), Cava (Spain’s sparking wine), and sparking wine from the U.S, as these regions have stricter rules about added sugar than Italy, the home of prosecco. Shape pointed out that a five-ounce glass of brut nature bubbly has about 120 calories, compared to around 175 for a non-brut variety.

14. Straight bourbon

You don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health: According to Gizmodo, Bourbon generally ranges between 97 and 110 calories per 1.5 ounces, and it’s packed with complex flavors unlike, say, vodka.

15. Spicy michelada

This zesty drink features a bottle or can of light lager mixed with lots of low-cal extras like fresh lime, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, pepper, sea salt, and ice.

16. A seasonal hot toddy

Unlike eggnog, this classic winter cocktail won’t pack on the pounds and it’ll keep you toasty. Combine 1 to two ounces of scotch, whiskey, or bourbon with hot water, a little honey, lemon juice, and either cloves, a cinnamon stick or star anise.

17. A classic martini

Martini culture has been muddled with high-cal impostors like Cosmos, apple martinis, and—the biggest offender—creamy dessert martinis. Take a cue from “Mad Men” and enjoy a classic vodka or gin martini, which is mixed with dry vermouth and include no fattening additives. Those bleu cheese-stuffed olives, however, are another story.

18. Gin and tonic—with less tonic

A refreshing gin and tonic might not seem terribly bad for you, but tonic water is made with high fructose corn syrup or sugar and clocks in at over 125 calories per can or small bottle. Instead, try mixing gin with club soda and only adding a small splash of tonic for fizzy sweetness.

19. Lighter Pina Colada

Everyone knows that pina coladas are a one-way ticket to calorieville thanks to the use of lots of rum and super-thick cream of coconut. In fact, some versions pack in more calories than a Big Mac! However, there are ways to still get the fruity flavor without all the guilt. One way: Replace cream of coconut with coconut milk or even coconut water.From there, add a shot of rum and fresh pineapple juice.

20. A French 75 with a colored twist

This bygone cocktail usually mixes Champagne, lemon juice, cognac or gin, and sugar. Instead of the sugar, add a small splash of antioxidant-packed pomegranate juice or kidney-healthy cranberry concentrate (that’s 100% pure cranberry juice). Not only will it taste super-tangy, but it’ll have a seasonal red tint.
