| Baby B Building Sandcastles On Our Last 2010 Seaside Vacation |
I apologise for my long hiatus from this blog, where Chicken Rice had reigned for more than three months as my kitchen adventures' finale marked September 14, 2010. In case you were wondering, I was in my final trimester and needed to bow out momentarily to prepare for the arrival of our newborn. I assure you that I've never once stopped cooking, baking, creating and tasting, although I've to say that everything I've had to create seemed to take longer, and every bite seemed to take on a subdued pleasure, like I was part of some silent movie. Every movement was slow and deliberate as I waddled up and down the kitchen galley in my barrel-of-a-tummy, one hand on my hip, removing trays from the hot oven, putting them in again, taking a testing sip from a steaming ladle and sprinkling seasoning where it was needed.
During this break I've not stopped documenting my kitchen chronicles and I know you won't be disappointed when I begin posting them again here in the new year.
A wonderful surprise for our Christmas helped mark the close of twenty ten as Baby C arrived on November 16, two weeks earlier than he was due. I couldn't prepare for his birth as much as I thought I'd prepared for it...it's much like when I tried making Ice Kachang for the first time--it can be a steep and valuable learning experience as you let yourself go and embrace what you cannot be expected to expect!
Happy New Year, embrace 2011 with joy, peace, love and here's a toast to more culinary pleasures!
