I always find myself immensely gratified when I know that I have been in someone’s thoughts, have touched them in some way or the other - esp when I havent done anything extraordinary enough to earn such a goodwill. I do wish to of course and so when an such a thought is accompanied with an award, it makes me feel humble and happy

Lathamma has touched so many people for being what she is and to know that I have been in her thoughts makes it especial for me. Thank U Lathamma for passing on this award to me. It sure means a lot to me.

I know I am defying a specific instruction here, but instead of giving what she thought she is going to get, I am giving Siri this award. I dont think I really have to elaborate why - but the word Friendship has taken a new meaning in the dictionary of my life and I owe this K2 ( Do spam her comment section for the full form of K2 if interested!;-)) for that.

*************************************************************************

She is such a lively person and a girl after my own heart. I can relate so much to her writing as something which I would write in my own. And to get an Award from her was sure a pleasant surprise. Thanks dear Kalai for thinking me worthy enough for giving me this Award.

“Yummy blog award is the award given to the blog with most yummy recipes/photos”

As for the Rules :
Refer below for my desserts and as far as passing this onto 4 other bloggers, I am in a single minded thought. Every blogger who cooks and painstakingly tries to capture its essence for the rest of us, deserves this award. Our recipes and our pictures mean a lot to us and so I would like to pass it on to all the food bloggers for their blogs - remarkable and yummy in different ways than one

Jamie tagged me v recently for Top 10 Picture Meme and it couldnt have come at a better time - esp when I was going to do this post anyway [ My lazy life made easier ;)) I was quite indecisive in listing out my top 10, so picked randomly Here they are :-

1) Vegetarian Paella

2) Jambalaya

3) Mac n Cheese

4) Mushroom Nut Roast

5) OOB Bread

6) Saffron Tea Loaf

7) Berry Healthy Ricotta Dessert

Raspberry Cake With Buttercream Icing

9)Eggless Chocolate Cake

10) Ginger cookies

Now that does not mean that you can skip my other recipes ok ? ;-)I may compromise on my photos but not my taste buds! I dunno who else have done this already - so if you have not and you are interested, feel free to do this tag But I am making it compulsory for Siri ( Gotcha!-No excuses!)

Ok Now coming to the Marathon. I have this inane habit. Whenever I am piled high on work, I go and pile some more on my head! I think I take that from my mom! Its only when she gets sick, she would put her full attention to that ‘visible only through microscope’ dirt and scrub like no tomorrow. I do the same! So just when I was grumbling my hearts out to Siri that the work has reached a brobdingnagian quantity that we both came up with another one. But this one is instead going to rejuvenate me cos it involves - You guessed right - FOOD

So we both have planned to start a Recipe Marathon. As the name suggests, we are planning on a Non-Stop Recipe Blogging starting from 17th of May till 31st May. One Recipe Each Day. Simple / Difficult. Known/ Unknown.

DH is all about bringing the interest of all food bloggers together, so keeping that intact - we wanted to compile recipe list based on different categories, so that makes recipe searching easier. Simply said - One Stop Shop.

So whatever we cook on those days, will get placed in the respective section for everyone’s perusal, esp when time is short and searching is little luxuriant. Its an open invitation to all of You to join us along and take part in Recipe Marathon with us. ( Jus let us know your interest in the comment section and we will take note). All those who are involved can link to the rest of the participants blog so that all get to know. Siri will take your Recipe Url and post it in the respective section in the forum too.

But yes, if you are interested, you can post your URL’s anyway for all of us in that section ( irrespective of whether you are participating or not in Recipe Marathon ). This way we build a database for all to see. Take a look at the outline of how it is going to be here to get an idea.

Ex. If you have a Vegetarian rice recipe, go to Recipe Marathon - Vegetarian - Rice Recipes section, - Write your dish name ( link it with your recipe URL) and your name by the side. Simple and helpful.

So lets Get Set and Go from 17th shall we ?
