I can still remember the day when I stepped into the new school and discovered the back compound with all the swings,monkey ladders,slides and merry-go-rounds.It looked like a fairy land to me.I would often skip lunch to play in one of those things.I had always wished that I had something like that at home too.It was not possible then.
Now the time has come to buy them,not for me but for Lil Angel.If you too feel the same,take a look at these swing sets at CSN.I am sure you are aware that CSN has more than 200 stores with anything to everything you are looking for.Take a look at swing sets and I am sure you would also want to return to your childhood!
This time too,the wonderful people at CSN stores contacted me if I was interested in a giveaway yet again.I was delighted.It was a great news for me.I take this opportunity to that thank all my readers for being with me all these years ๐

So,coming to today’s post…..I just found out that this is my 700th post!!I am really happy and proud of what is going on around here.It’s only apt that I share my happiness with a dessert and of course, with the giveaway.
Now coming to the dessert for today’s celebration.Here is a simple one that I prepared with China Grass also known as Agar-Agar.Agar-agar / China grass is a gelatinous material derived from Algae.It is a vegetarian gelatin substitute.I will write more about Agar Agar in tomorrow’s post.
I wanted to give this dessert a beautiful pink or green color.Instead of food color,I used rose milk powder to add color and flavor to it.
I used:
Agar sheet – 10 gram
Milk – 1 litre
Sugar- to taste
Rose milk powder – to taste[I used 3 teaspoons]Adding too much can make it a little bitter.So taste and add.
Roasted nuts to garnish
- Bring milk to boil in a vessel and simmer.
- Take half a cup of this milk and dissolve the china grass.Stir well till it dissolves completely.
- Add this to the simmering milk and mix.
- Put in sugar and the rose milk powder.Mix well.
- Remove from heat and our into molds or a tray.[Don’t heat it for too long]
- Cool till it is set.Refrigerate if you are in a hurry.
- Cut the dessert into diamonds/ desired shapes if you have poured it into a tray or serve garnished with nuts if you have poured it into molds/cups.
Enjoy the chilled rose milk flavored dessert ๐

My favorite childhood game..kick the can. All the neighborhood kids would get together and play in the street (we lived on a dead-end street) and we'd use houses close by to play. It was a blast, there would be at least 15 kids playing at once.
