What I Have Been Up To

I haven’t had a post for the last few weeks. I have been busy with real life, not that I didn’t cook at all. The scientist was still busy in the kitchen over the holidays. More important, some life-changing choices have to be  made. First, there is the change in crop to study. From rice, I’ll be working on maize breeding. It is challenging, given the fact I have very little (mostly theoretical) knowledge about maize. Rice and maize maybe the world’s more important cereals but growing them is altogether different. At least I am working on one aspect I am confident of – breeding for disease resistance. So hopefully, here’s to the next disease-resistant maize hybrids! Next, I am moving to another place so expect a shift in cooking to mostly seafoods! I will cook as soon I get my new kitchen going.

So what have been cooking during my long absence from the web? Here are some samplers while I work on the next posts for the recipes.

    We had two weeks of holiday last December so I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. If there’s nothing to do, I always check what’s in the pantry then cook!
