Some blogs, I must say, attract me due to the nature of the pictures. It must be because I am not good at it, so I love to look at the pictures and “imagine” if I could do it. A few of the blogs who I have got hooked to due to this factor are Meena’s, Rekha’s, Shree’s and Shibi’s. When I asked Meena about the tricks in photography, she told me, “practice, practice, practice!” Now frankly speaking, I don’t have the patience nor the time to practice and I guess that will effect the forward movement of my blog. I am seriously considering putting in time for improving my skills but I know with my current restrictions, I may not be able to do so, but at least by looking at all your blogs, I will collect ideas and try to put it forward, what say? 😉
So, such a blog that made me feel in love with the pictures was Anupa’s Palaharam. Just have a look at her array of recipes – be it the homemade icecream or the fish patty burgers, absolutely delicious in sight!!! The time I eyed her blog and a few of her posts, I just popped in the question as to whether she would be interested in doing a guest post. I was so glad that she agreed to. And she gave me something that is so apt to my blog name – how sweet is she!! So there you go, she emailed me this sumptuous looking cherry cake. Why don’t we go over to her and see what Anupa has to offer? 🙂
the day off , spending the entire day in the kitchen and leaving my husband’s jaw dropped, I knew I had changed – I had developed a liking for cooking. I guess few things inherited(my mom is a great cook) start showing up only when
it is time. My blog was started less than a year ago when we came down to US after I had given up my job and I had so much free time in hand. I am so glad that I did start one. Because this blogging world has gifted me with so
many like minded friends. Even though hardly anyone of us have met in person, we talk as if we have know each other for years. I can spend hours going through different blogs and browsing for recipes and all the more, I keep
learning so much from them. I am proud to be part of the Bloggers family :).
