The dilemma, however, stayed for a nanosecond, I told myself; let me not think about the things which are irrelevant to me! Let me concentrate on what I am comfortable with and most importantly what I can do with ease! I have not started the blog for popularity.
Once a recipe blogger; always a recipe blogger or better to say a food blogger!
A few more lines before the recipe? what say, readers? Do you mind?
