Sorry for the lack of posting in the last few days, work has been swamped so I chose sleep over blogging late at night. Well the good thing is I didn’t let work get in the way of cooking, in fact I find food preparation so relaxing now a days, it’s really a good way to wind down after a busy day of designing!
