The 2014 Collector Edition Walmart Mailin Exclusive 69 Camaro

Recently, I finally came to own the super exclusive 2014 Collector Edition Walmart Mailin Exclusive 69 Camaro. And to begin with, its mindblowing. Other insignia include, Zamac Edition 2014, a Hot Wheels Collectors.com logoand the words, '2014 Collector Edition', with some beautiful multiple angle illustrations of the car on the backside. All in all, this is a collector's treat! Other features include, Gloss Black Hand Spray for the Roof and Hood bulge, Matt Black Handspray for the rear panel and headlights Silver hand spray for the body and Red Hand Spray for the taillights, all of which are detailed on the back card in dot matrix pixels, makes the reading a bit tough though!

Manoranjitham flower

Image
A very beautiful name to begin with. Manoranjitham is a plant, prevalent in India, actually, it I knew it cos it grew in my neighbour's frontyard. Its very popular in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh. Its a plant thats strong enough to stand on it own but since it spreads wide, it clings on to supports with hook like outgrowths from its shoots. The curved hook is very tender and green in the beginning but once it has caught hold of a support, it tends to encircle and harden as wood around the support, which could be a cable or a slender shoot of another plant. The hooks look very elvish like it comes in LOTR. the hook used for climbing and support the Elvish leaves And the main highlight is the flower. Manoranjitham has flowers, one each at a leaf node of a growing branch. Its not brightly coloured, rather it looks like leaves, in a pale green when fully bloomed and tends to yellow on as it gets older. And what it lacks in colour, it compensates double in fragrance. A

STH and Regular - Differences

Image
I have always wanted to write a post about the differences between an STH and its regular version car. I was lucky enough to find the 2008 Lancer Evolution STH from the 2015 K case of Hot Wheels. STHs are Super/Secret Treasure Hunts. They are a much premium version of a regular diecast model with special Spectraflame paintjob, a high level of detailing, extra tampos and real rider rubber tyres. They are produced in very low quantities compared to the regular diecast versions. Let us look at some of the differences between an STH and its regular diecast First, is the difference in the card graphics art. The STH usually has some additional graphical detailing or liveries on the hood.  Then, the same differences are also seen in the actual diecast model. This STH has the MAXIMUM ATTACK livery on the hood along with the legendary TH symbol that marks this as a Super/Secret Treasure Hunt.  Then, come the paintjob and detailing. The paintjob is a unique spectraflame paintjo

making the eggless Pillsbury Cooker Cake

Image
This was one of my most relished adventures and the first of its kind.. baking a cake. I am a vegetarian who stays away from cakes cos of the egg content. It so happened when i was browsing the shelves in the local supermarket, i hit upon this pack that read "Pillsbury Eggless Cooker Cake - Rich Chocolate Flavoured Mix". Hmm.. a cake mix.. wow! and eggless!!?? woooooooowww!!! Well i took the bet and i bought it. The recipe was quite simple. Did not require any special exotic ingredients. 1)Take a bowl and add the cake mix to about two tablespoons of oil and 100ml of milk. Stir well so that the consistency is that of thick paste that is viscous enough yet free to flow from one bowl to the other. Make sure all the powder is gone and batter is completely semi solid. Add some raisins to the mix. Scatter some nut bits here and there. 2) Take a relatively thick vessel that is atleast 5 inches wide. I took a 5.5 - 6 inch vessel. Worked fine. 3) Grease the pan. Now whats greasing? G
