Yesterday, Ad started a counter for my blog. Not that I expected anybody else but me and myself to read it but it was a nice gesture by him. I was supposed to have learn how to go further into it but...........
When I started blogging, I was retiring and wanted to pen my thoughts, feelings and opinions down as I go along. A softer reason was so that my mind will not lie idle and go into Alzheimer mode.
Lately, as I manage to pick up my reading thanks to MPPJ library, I like to leave my comments on articles, friction and non frictional books I picked up.
The other hobby I am putting on gear is baking and cooking. As I like to vary some of the recipes to suit the family's taste, I hope to record them for further reference. For a start, we (the kids and hubby helped) tried out CARROT CUPCAKES from The Idiot Guide. Here is the revised version.
