Fine whining

On March 22, 2012 by Meghalee Das

I know I have been away for over four months but I will start posting again. There is no particular reason why I stopped blogging but there were a number of factors, the most important being I was not enjoying it. Instead of a hobby, this became a chore or a potential commercial venture and my love for cooking turned into a routine, mandatory thing. I felt overwhelmed with the daily chores, part-time work and writing about my food or taking pictures after a long day. Moreover, I was trying to start a new blog with my own domain but because of technical reasons decided to put that on hold for now.
All this just took a toll on me but after nearly four months I opened my blog and I still see a respectable number of daily hits, although there were no new updates from my side. The fact that someone in some corner of the world is actually reading my recipes made me decide that I will blog again keeping in mind the reason why I had started in the first place: To compile all the recipes of the food I make every day or on special occasions, which I have either learnt from my mom, friends, have read or created. The idea was to cook simple, fast and delicious food and sometimes more elaborate recipes for certain occasions. I have been cooking a lot of interesting stuff and have saved some pictures and I will be making some new dishes too. The number of pictures will be less in future posts unless I feel the need to take crazy photos of the food again. Hope you find the recipes useful.
Ok enough of whining, start cooking!
