With August,I complete 6 months of joyous food blogging.To be honest,I never thought I would come this far.When I started,I wondered how my favorite food bloggers managed to come up with so many nice and interesting recipes one after the another.I had my doubts as to how long I would be able to post with the same enthusiasm as my first post.But I've been proven wrong and I am so happy about it.I look forward to this so much and I can easily say this has become an integral part of my life now.All thanks to you dear bloggers who have given me encouragement and appreciation.Thanks folks!!!

August has to be the month which saw the least number of posts from me.Just 15,including this one.When I started,I thought I will post anywhere between 10-15 posts a month.I have posted more than that every month,but this month is different.I should admit that I've been a bit lazy(;-)),is that allowed..;-)??I was trying to finish off posts from my drafts,but thats just an excuse.I've been logging in daily and spending too much time blog-hopping rather than blogging myself!!If not for the events going on,I don't think I would have posted even 15..!!Of the 15 posts this month,13 have gone to events..yup..so imagine if there were no events..??!!Lol..;-).So thanks to you people who conduct lovely events month after month..love you guys..you rock!!

Three cheers to all of us food bloggers..!!!
