It never surprises me how, from behind our respective computer screens, we unite, bond and encourage each other over a passion for food. It is easy to say things when we have a screen persona to hide behind, but I'm happy to say that those of you whom I've met in real life really are as genuine as your blog alter egos =)<br /><br />My grandmother passed away a couple of weeks ago. A grandparent with whom I wasn't close but who had lived with us a long time until Alzheimer's got the better of her, and she had to receive full-time care. Her health further deteriorated recently - she was ready to go and it was something we'd steeled ourselves for for some time - but it is still unexpected when it happens, I guess.Rita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-71743914029478094072010-07-05T09:42:24.734+10:002010-07-05T09:42:24.734+10:00I'm couriering some hugs to you, can't rel...I'm couriering some hugs to you, can't rely on Australia Post to get them there in time.<br />xxConor @ Hold the Beefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526209428409988896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-85242452260895347532010-07-04T20:44:00.811+10:002010-07-04T20:44:00.811+10:00Two of my favourite things.. century eggs and tofu...Two of my favourite things.. century eggs and tofu!
