On a break.....

Hi guys...i will be taking a break from blogging for a few months.I just have too many things going-on and i feel i am neglecting my blog and not visiting all my fellow bloggers, something i have enjoyed and have looked forward to in the past. I think not visiting bloggers..reduces the community effect and i feel taking a break and coming back with gusto is better than putting a half-baked effort.

So take care all of you and i am sorry Sra,Sunita,Dhivya,Easy,Sia and Suganya...will not be able to participate in ur events..but am certain ur events will be booming with entries...so u will not even miss mine

See you all in a few months :)...

Tuesday

WBB - Round up!!

Seriously..i was thinking i would have this out on Feb 1st..but since procrastination ka doosra naam Rajitha hain..i decided to wait till Monday..when i realised..there was a mistake in the way i was downloading stuff...and long story short..here is the round -up :)

To be honest i was a bit wary because i had an onslaught of...i hate tofu...i hate soy..i hate...!! you know :D....so i was pretty sure i would have about 5-7 entries..but ladies..I really want to thank each one of you who took their time to participate and am glad that my friends are still my friends..despite of me making their life miserable :D..Would also like to say thanks to Nandita for letting me host and be a total hands-off gal..love that!
All the entries here are in the order they were received. As it is Breakfast mainly..there are no categories..i could get detailed if i wanted..but....

Finally..i sincerely hope all of you found some way of adding soy to your diet..as it is really good for you...granted they are not to the level thought and projected by the media..but it is a great source of plant protein.


The next WBB (a known fact by now i guess) is held by Suganya of Tasty Palettes .
