it was more like a long weekend but exactly what i needed. jab and i were suppose to go to Puerto Rico for a long weekend but some hurricane or another busted up those plans. we hit
Ocean City instead, a place i’ve been to quite a few times but surprisingly, jab had not. it was a great weekend, albeit wet and windy on saturday, but overall, just fan-tab to be with my sweetie.
we arrived home this afternoon and i promptly took the pork out of the freezer to defrost. was thinking about making some th?t kho but eh. i wanted to try something different. my token vietnamese cookbook has a sautéed frogs’ legs or chicken wings with Lemongrass (Dui Ech Xao Sa Ot) that looked yummy. plus, i had all the essential ingredients. except for the frog legs and chicken wings.<br…

Hope you folks are having a great weekend! I’m typing this up as I leave for a long-awaited
vacation in a couple of hours, but I needed to inform you about 2 things before I leave!
The first is a pledge for help, where I request you to be generous and donate for a life of a young mother Lakshmi, who needs to be operated within 5-6 months. She is currently prescribed heavy dosage of medicines to sustain. Lakshmi is 28 years old and suffers from Coronary Artery disease. She has two children, aged 3 & 6. She is financially dependent on her parents who have already spent whatever they have, for her first operation and their other daughter’s marriages. Srivalli has organized a Fundraiser with Raffle Prizes so we can help raise money for Lakshmi’s operation. I request you to contribute in any way that you can! You can donate via Paypal using the Chip-In button on her blog. I appreciate your support and prayers!
Vacation
And now for the good part - I’m heading off for a vacation to Europe with my hubby, my brother and his wife, and we are going to be enjoying the heritage of Rome & Venice, strutting in the fashion-filled streets of Paris, and relaxing in the beautiful countryside of Switzerland, then finally heading off to India to spend some time with our parents! I am totally excited, and I’ll be sure to keep you updated as and when I get time to hook on to the internet!
Meanwhile, I have scheduled some recipes and posts for you all, so you don’t miss your dose of Fun & Food! The activity level will be a bit low, and I might not be able to respond to comments and queries immediately, but please bear with me on that! Also, the past few days, I’ve been working on another project, so I have a Surprise to share with you all when I get back!
So keep visiting Fun & Food, Miss me, and stay healthy and happy!
Signing off for now, but will be back soon! Starting Monday, look out for posts that I’ve scheduled for the next 2 weeks!
