![]() V would be very happy to see me financing my own groceries! It would be great if you could buy through my reference! A little money does not hurt anyone and I don’t mind the extra, albeit little, cash I can earn to sponsor some of the stuff I buy for the blog. Even if you do not win the giveaway (I wish I could give it to as many people but then V would surely disown me) and would like to buy this book, do click on the link shown above to buy. The tartlet recipe I am posting today is also from this book. I really like this book and have tried the recipes for puff pastry, apple preserve, brioche- all with great success. ![]() Its Sarabeth’s Bakery: From My Hand to Yours In case you win I will be glad to ship it to that person!

(I’m sorry but I still haven’t figured out the RSS feed thing- you would think with all the time I spend on the computer I would have and a friend actually sending me a link explaining what to do- nah, I still am clueless or well actually, lazy to figure it out!)Īnyway if you want to, you can subscribe to my blog via email.

A special thanks goes to those who painstakingly read most of my entries (and an even bigger one to those who read all)- I don’t know how you take all my rambling, but you should know, it means a lot! Thank god for that!”Īnd since I am in the thanking mood, thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my blog, leaving me comments here, on my own facebook page- you have no idea how encouraging that is. The blog, of course grew and so did the obsession with it (I would refresh my site page every few minutes on certain days), though now the obsession is more or less tamed. It was also a great way to keep busy and explore my passion for food. So when I started cooking I found posting recipes on my blog as a way to keep track of what I make, serving as a reference when I wanted to make the same thing again. Partly because of the strict visa restrictions but mostly because of the place where we are- its a mining town with only the mine to work at- I could not take on any job, leaving me in a new place- bored most of the day! The blog came to my rescue and kept me busy.īefore marrying, I hardly cooked- never, to be more precise. I got married last year in March and shifted to the US in April, since my husband, V, works here. Like most food bloggers, I started this blog as a way to document my experiments in the kitchen with a few little snippets from my life thrown here and there. So I chose to enjoy my blogiversary by not blogging! I would have posted yesterday but the weather was really nice to be sitting in front of the computer. Yesterday, was doubly special as I completed 1 year of blogging! Yesterday, too, it rained! Thank god since the heat had been killing me. Couldn’t wait for it to bake and have a warm slice with some tea, sitting outside, listening to some good music and enjoying the weather! And that’s exactly what I did! Finally after the clouds tantalizing us for days, they decided to shower us with some water! And oh what a downpour! I have always loved the smell of freshly wet parched land! And since it started raining a little after I put a fig-date nut torte in the oven, the whole house smelled doubly good.
