Bacon-wrapped fish with veggies
Whew, been a away for quite sometime and many great things happened. We were blessed with a baby girl last April and my son had just finished his first school year KG-1. I’ve been busy as parent, employee and a hobbyist but still I ‘m trying not to give this blog up. It’s sizzling 40 ‘C hot right now in the Middle East and I had to refrain doing things outdoor and back to indoor activities which involves cooking, blogging as well as photography…..
