Be My Guest – Gulab Jamun

I am searching for words as to how to start this post today. One of the many lovely friendships I have received through blogging, I must say is this lovely lady who is going to be a part of my blog today. Knowing her “lazy nature” (I hope you don’t mind, dee… :P), I gave her three month’s advance notice so that she would be on time for the guest post. The lone giveaway that I have won over these months of blogging was from her blog. She rarely posts, which is sad… but when she posts, she does really drool-worthy recipes. I don’t think I need to talk about her cake decoration skills. I really admire her patience to do the cakes that she so painstakingly does to make it look really perfect, just like this one! OK, I guess I stop my chattering now and straight tell you who I am talking about… I am sure by this time you would have scrolled down to the pics and caught hold of who it would be… hehe…

Today I have with me, Vineetha, or I would prefer calling her Vinee like many of us do, who blogs at Malabar Ruchi. I have enjoyed really a warm friendship with her and my interactions with her on FB and Whassup have always been filled with lighthearted chats. Even if you read her blog, you will see how down-to-earth a person she is. It is a pleasure having her around in this series of mine and seriously, I cannot explain how excited I am! When I dropped her a message for her contribution, the first thing she asked is, “Do you have Gulab Jamun on that big list of recipes on your blog?” I only wanted to laugh!!! This is one thing I so love to eat, but haven’t had the guts to make it, and actually speaking, just one of the items on the ever growing list of to-make and to-try! So I told her not to worry and go ahead as she planned. It is so sad that I don’t get to eat it, I’ve to pacify myself just drooling over the pics!!! Hmm…

Off to you, Vinee…

Rafeeda or Rafee as I fondly call her is one of the sweetest friend virtual friend has gifted me. She has been a great support and encouragement for my blog through her beautiful comments which comes straight from her heart. I owe it to Rafee for  making my blog’s font to a  readable size as they were really really small before and it was she pointed out that I should make it a bit bigger. So after lots of experiments finally I figured out everything and changed it but what surprised me was  even before mentioning that to her  she noticed the difference  and got back to me ! Such genuine friends are rare to find right ??
