This seems like a delayed reaction to the news that A Scientist in the Kitchen is finalist in the Philippine Blog Awards (Food and Beverage Category). All I can is wow!

This is really a welcome news, getting a text message from Sheng that this blog made it to the finals, while I am in the middle of the corn field evaluating hundreds of corn. It is a welcome respite from the heat and sweat, which is part and parcel of a plant breeder’s work.

While I may not have been regularly posting here, I still do cook a lot. From tomato sauce from scratch to scallops soup, there are a lot in store in the coming days.

For the meantime, check out the finalists in the various categories of the Philippine Blog Awards.

Thank you everyone!
