It is a question of education, comprehension and realizing that in each one of us there is also a potential for being a wife, a mother, a homecarer, a teacher and many other tasks to be done - with one word a multitasker. susi@blogger.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164198352954951303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430743085868957237.post-7628041050338830822017-05-23T00:02:11.566+05:302017-05-23T00:02:11.566+05:30I have shared your post with my family.

I find I have to keep reinventing myself - the old thumbed and splashed recipe books no longer excite me, it's the internet with it's tons of new recipes that inspire me. <br />We must cook because we want to, not because it's expected of us.

Like you, I like to pick up spices and seasonings from my travels and experiment with recipies from cuisines (Chinese, Thai, Mexican, Italian, Mediteranian...a long never ending list). I am always looking forward to social events and trying something new.<br /><br />Mala Modi (USA)Malahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081036382182635601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430743085868957237.post-20914360834962254552011-12-04T12:13:48.101+05:302011-12-04T12:13:48.101+05:30Totally bowled over.
