HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 

Exactly TEN years ago, MAY 10TH. 2005, an enthusiastic grandma hit the button “Publish” for the first time! At the time I did not really know what I was doing. A  member from a food forum, told me that i could document all my tested recipes.  I am not computer savvy and she told me that she will teach me how.  Taught me she did patiently answering all my silly questions.  I can't thank her enough for her kind gesture, JANNY RUTT , thank you and thank you.  I started this blog as a legacy of hand-me down tested recipes for my family but eventually i realised that i am fulfilling MY desire to teach people but at the same time i am learning more than i teach.  To me it is people helping people  to rediscover their culture and tradition through food.and i have become committed to keeping these food traditions alive. I cherish special dishes - especially festival/holiday dishes - that have been passed down through generations as a tribute to their heritage and ancestors. The internet and blogging has expanded my circle of influence that i  have and others that I can join, it helps people connect.  I would like to thank all you fantastic people who decided to join me to carry on this quest and helped me a great deal in shaping this blog.  Thank you again.
