Hi my kitchen queen, Happy birthday. Your blog looks great. Your hubby
Love you blog Janet. Great photos too, love your lightings
Many thanks Dhita, I still have a lot to learn esp the technical side but by looking at other peoples work, I do get inspiration from their work in terms of composition. Look forward to more exchanges with you.
Hallo
I´m very new to this, so please don´t expect much. I would be very interested in exchanging recipes, am a hobby cook living in Germany, Saxony-Anhalt, english, teach German and Spanish, Italian and French, English and Portuguese.
What is a blogger? I really am very ignorant in such things. Can offer a very good recipe for chicken in a garlic marinade with parsley, if that´s of interest. Please tell if it is.
I very much like the idea and your design of this site. Good idea
Hi Philip, many thanks for your very nice compliments. Wow, when I see you teach so many languages, I wish I lived near you as I still relunctant to learn German which I should get the grip on after got married and live in Basel. You have any tips or advice that can help me motivating myself to learn this difficult language.
I would love to try out your chicken recipe and perhaps after trying I can post the recipe here referring the source is from you (pls email your recipe to jswching@gmail.com). I have recipes from my neighbour and Swiss friend too. Would be nice to exchange recipes. As for blogging, those people who blog are bloggers, it’s actually like a webpage but the things you write is presented in a reverse-chronological order and ususally maintained by individual. I am a newbie too, and am learning while blogging at the same time. Cheers, Janet
I like your blog!
Thank you for your kind comments, wishing you back the same
Have a safe trip to Holland, hope you enjoy yourself!
