PH Goes to Hospital

Dear friends, readers and fellow bloggers, if you are wondering why I have been silent, not replying to your comments and not dropping by your blogs, it is because I was hospitalized due to dengue fever.

Lemon Bars

These are my latest discovery. Lemons Bars. Yum personified. God! I could not stop at one or two or three.

Broccoli Bagna What?
