Surprise Beach Party - Photo Forum August '12

[Zurie]

Oh boy, thank you for being so industrious in your kitchens!!!

Awalde, you really went all-out! Chef S, sooo nice as usual!!

It's such a pleasure to scroll through your contributions!!!!

(I apologise for being so absent from taking part or posting photos. My mind is elsewhere ... not only are we having serious water seepage problems after the horrendous rains -- this will hopefully be fixed next week -- but my mother, going on 94, is very poorly. I cook dinner every night automatically and without recipes. Every time the phone rings it scares me. It is sort of up-and-down with Mom, 800 km away. Please forgive me. As the saying goes: "This too, shall pass.")

Oh Zurie, you don't need to apologize! We all have our duties and problems. I realized a lot of recipes for ZWT8, but I can't do it for months. The problem is not the time spent while cooking, but the preparation reading recipes, writing reviews and posting photos. ..... and my mother would like to get a phone call...and the family requires my help ... I don't like phone rings exactly for the same reason!
I don’t like the handy (only my family, my boss and the best friends have my number!) as I need some time for myself as well!
