It’s time for HHDD #26!

First I started reading Meeta’s post with curiosity, then I was in for some surprise, later came the  total disbelief when I saw my name was up there along with an excerpt of my email to Meeta. She had sent me a sweet email too, but I happened to be in her blog even before I saw her mail.  My entry to HHDD #25 – Shrimp Satay – Grilling with Almond Satay Sauce was the overall winner! There were awesome entries in both the sweet & savory categories, & my humble thanks to all those liked mine. After the initial few seconds of thrill of the win wore off, & I realized that I  have to host HHDD #26, the nervousness & intimidation kicked in, for during these few months of blogging I have never even given any thought about hosting an event. But I am sure with all your support I will make this happen:-)

[I am sending a Big Bag of Thanks to Bron, who guided me though this "apparently"  simple task of posting this announcement for HHDD #26.]

Its Saturday and we arranged a get together with our family living in the town. It is great to have family near by when we are sooo far away from home. However, even a small get together would need some food right?  When it is a preplanned party I always arrange to cook before hand so I get some time with the guests. This time I had absolutley no time ! I mean they were an hour away… I need a quick fix.
