Dear Foodies,
I still exist, I really do!! I know I've been away for a very long time. Sorry for everyone who stopped by and were disappointed to see the same old posts. Part of it was because I had work in the University that I still had to complete, and by the way I am a Post-Graduate now yayyyy :) The other reason is, my dear little camcorder that was my partner in crime for this blog broke (because of my stupidity :(( ) So though I cooked a lot in the past few months, I could not transfer the recipes to the blog. I am planning to get a new cam in a few weeks and will also be re-vamping my blog template to bring a fresh new look. So do come back :)
I have been using the old blogger template until now and plan to move to the beta version during the spring cleaning process. I had made a lot of changes to the basic Minima template I was using to create a unique look. So I am sure I'll loose most of it during the move to beta. If you have any sort of advice for me, please do drop in a comment :) and yaa, there is a poll on the left sidebar that'll help me get your views :)
Update: The move was easier than I thought, just a click of a button. I lost all my side bar content as expected because all that was my addition to the original template. But since I was given access to my previous HTML code, I just copy-pasted them into the HTML/Javascript Page elements feature.
I also added a new Horizontal Menubar right below the page Header. The pages connected to those links are just what the label states they are. Hope you find that convenient. I am still looking for other nice widgets and hacks to spruce up the blog and get it in good shape so you guys can enjoy reading it. Let me know if you have used/come across interesting pieces of code :)
Thank you !

Revathi, Thank you ! I can't tell you how excited I am looking at your comment, its been ages since I got one :)) :))
Krishna, the real recipes will still take awhile, but I plan to empty my photo archives and dig out a few recipes in the mean while, chalega ?
Ah, there you are. You finally decided to show up. Good to see you :). Create a test blog and play around in it before moving to the main blog. There is a setting in the blogger to hide certain blogs if you don't want to make it public. Good luck!
Suganya, I have been doing that for a while now. I finally thought it was time to get in into the main scene, else I would just go on ..and on ..and on with the test blog :))
Congrats on graduating! and yes- you may come in now.;-)
