The Thought


This week we celebrate the inception of the concept of "Pot Luck" at my work place. The place happens to be full of foodie's like myself. It came to me as a surprise that they actually wanted to start cooking without the help of their parents & spouses!


And for the recipe's, few of them have turned to me & few of them continue to read through my blog for ideas! The vision of ideasforfood blog might finally be catching up!
