Today marks the 1st anniversary of Edible Experiments! A total of 82 recipes if I counted correctly. Not much but not bad for a working mom though I still have lots of food photos waiting to be published.
I cook and I forget the little details so I write them down. That’s how it goes. But clearly it has meant much more than that. I’ve met wonderful people and new friends. I got reacquainted with old colleagues and relatives around the globe. I now see Filipino culture through food in a different light. I’ve encouraged friends to blog and join Lasang Pinoy events. I even hosted LP8! I’ve also learned a lot from other foodblogs – new recipes, techniques – and marveled at their own stories. From all these I believe my cooking got better.
Most of the recipes I’ve posted are about simple home-style cooking but every time a reader writes me about how great a recipe is from this blog – of course after being kitchen-tested – I feel great. I even get requests from time to time. There are also those who write to share their own tricks that I do appreciate very much. So for my blog’s birthday, I prepared a PDF file of few recipes published here ready for download . Not much and not that special but I do hope they would be helpful.
And yeah, I was also given a new set of plates as a gift! They’re cheap, bought in a tiangge (flea market) at the Worker’s Stadium but I like them and of course it’s the thought that counts. His way of saying my experiments are great.
I know, these photos aren’t exactly party material but those got first into the plate. The dilis (dried anchovies) were also bought from the same tiangge, fried crispy and served with garlic fried rice, salted eggs and raw tomatoes.
COngratulations and Happy Birthday!!! I wish this blog many more bdays to come!
