It’s never the same. No year is similar to the one it follows or the one it proceeds. Each year brings different experiences, new joys, new sorrow, new lessons. It’s all in how you perceive it.
Three years ago around this time, I was planning and working on starting this blog. I started it without any prospect on how it will grow or what will happen to it. I still kind of don’t, but I’m still blogging for the joy of it. Continue reading “Third Blogiversary and Chicken Curry with Red Rice”
During the days of Sprouts, I used to give “lectures” to guests regarding food consciousness. Few were those who are aware of what goes into their food, most of those were the ones who cook.
We have not been very aware of our nutrition except for the past few decades. We have been, and somehow still are, subject to what we’re told to eat and not to. With the rise of ready-made and processed foods, we ate without knowing what is going into the food. It was only until recent times that some of us became aware of what goes into what we’re eating.

When you’re cooking as a day to day job, or should I say night to night?, your perception towards food is different. Sometimes nibbling on what your preparing is enough to keep you hanging till dinner service is done and you can actually sit down and have dinner from the food you prepared. As much as you love food, sometimes it gets to a point that you only need to eat for your body not to fail you.

Wooh!
Been a very long time. Feels as if the months of July and August are doomed on this blog. It’s like I am not allowed to celebrate by blog’s birthday with my readers and friends.
But no worries. Two years ago on this day, the first recipe was published.
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COOKIN5M2 !
Here I am, 2 years later, with more than 70 recipes published, with food adventures, delicious ever-progressing food photography skills, and more delicious food.
Where was I for all this time? Continue reading “Grilled Chicken on Wheat and Lentil Salad”
Last week was a really busy week. Working five days a week from 8 to 5 then rushing to Gemmayze for the yoga workshop I got myself into.The workshop was from 6:30 to 9:30 but sometimes it extended till 10, and a bit more in a couple of days. Then I had to get back home, shower and sleep to get ready for the day after. I could barely do anything else. No energy to cook, or to blog, read, or even check my instagram timeline feeds.
Speaking of instagram, how many of you are getting into this #selfie frenzy?
This is getting out of control, right?
But it is trendy.
After the famous oscar selfie, #SellotapeSelfie, the #AfterSexSeflie, and our very own #SelfieRS for Road Safety (which is turning out not very safe), I decided to ride the trend wave myself and start a new craze that I’d hate myself if it picks up; #FoodSelfie.
