So you come up instant names for your recipes...should be interesting...I am generally not creative with names for dishes for some cookery events for which my mom participates. <br /><br />And about the printed cookbook, maintaining a written journal is almost becoming a lost art these days isn't it? Other than my college notes which I write to please my teachers I don't think I have anything else in written form and btw you turn to blogging for a respite from your academic ventures... it is time you bring out a book like <i>confessions of a blogaholic</i> the bloggers anonymous would be really proud...The Analysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670286446565763789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099822287006472886.post-65687484956881063402010-04-06T13:16:07.604+05:302010-04-06T13:16:07.604+05:30a very awww post :) I know...even I do not have a ...a very awww post :) I know...even I do not have a cookbook.

She could not read or write but had excellent memories to remember her recipes and never missed one single spice.. I always kept postponing the day I would sit down and write all the recipes and as usual that never happened. Anyway we could never re-create what she cooked even if she was guiding us.. so may be the taste lies in mothers love.

Except tat the remarks are more of symbols. A tick mark for the good ones and a cross for the not-so-grt-ones. Though my cookbook (or attempt at making one) is more of photocopies or recipes copy-pasted from google, I have inherited the tick-cross habit.The Coffee Cuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131985275719213931noreply@blogger.com
