Host : Bakul
Members attended : Soumya, Shaifali, Ashwini, Supraja
First meeting in the new year took place on the last Monday (January 27) of the month as decided.
It was a pleasure to meet Avni; Ashwini's daughter and Mahita; Supraja's daughter!! Both of them are so cute and adorable!
As we met after a gap of two months,it was nice to catch up with everyone.
One of the interesting topics discussed was about the book "Lean in" by Sheryl Sandberg.She is the COO of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune's list of 50 most powerful women in business and as one of the Time's 100 most influential people in the world!The book is about women, work and the will to lead. She offers compelling,commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential.
After reading this book,I think,it can change the conversation from what women can't do to what they can!
All of us agreed to brainstorm about this topic and discuss it in more detail in the next meeting.
Here's the recipe for Khajur kheer ( Dates payasam)
Ingredients :
Dates -remove the seeds and cut into small pieces 1/2 cup
Milk - 2 cups, warm
Sugar - 4 to 5 tbsp
Ghee - 4 tsp
Almonds- thinly sliced 1 tsp

Then add boiling water to this mixture and let it cook. (3 to 4 min)
Add sugar once it is cooked. Lastly, add warm milk and let it simmer.
