Memories the Essence of Life ~ Best of 2016!

I was very prompt in announcing the Best of the Year 2016 event. And I completely forgot that I am yet to write my own thoughts. The year has been a big changeover in terms of my blogging platform. I have finally moved both my sites to a self-hosted server. Which resulted in me being inactive for over 2 months in both blogs. I thought I would learn from my experience from moving C4AS, however, it took the same time to do SYL.

Anyway, the year that's gone by was so quick. I just read about my memories of 2015 and felt I had those experiences just now. I was talking about BM#50 and here I am talking about meeting for BM#75! Time surely flies.

I posted 116 recipes in C4AS and 160 recipes in Spice your Life!

Both the counts way less than what it was the previous year, still I am happy I was able to do. I also saw that whatever resolution I took on health-wise, nothing was done. So as I knew I am not going to have a resolution. 🙂

I am hoping I will be able to do a better job in the new year in learning new things.

On the cooking front, I have to mention about my A to Z Mahatratrian Sweets was a big personal pride, and the 26 days of Potato Dishes

Some of the dishes posted in Cooking 4 all Seasons!

And these from Spice your Life!

Some of the pictures are ones that were taken on the spot and still turned out good to my liking were the below.

Coming back to the goals and things I want to do, I really haven't planned anything. I am very bad at keeping a resolution. So will do things that come my way.

I already plan a lot in terms of BM, so nothing more is needed I supposed.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation - Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite authors and I stand always true to this. I realized there is only one chance to try new things, which led me to start in small ways. I know it's so simple, yet I was elated when I tried a pineapple and orange jam.

Bake-a-thon this year was all about Tea Cakes. I was upset that I couldn't do all the days. Some of the flavours I found in this series were so out of the world.

With this, I leave it here hoping to explore many more new things!
