On the 7th of September 2004, I started this food blog after eating too many potato chips. When the euphoria wore off, I thought to myself, is this really a good idea? I mean here we have a woman who has a short attention span, cannot write well, only knows how to use the camera in auto mode, is on some kind of diet most of the time, and to be perfectly honest, is a really lazy cook.
Yet here we are, a year later. I have gained knowledge, tried out new recipes, realized I still cannot bake a cake and most importantly made many new friends. To my readers and fellow food bloggers, thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comments. I would not have persevered if not for your support.
Since all these came about with a pack of chips, I thought it is apt that I celebrate with Royce Potatochip Chocolate. Salty chips coated with creamy milk chocolate may seem a strange combination. Yet the taste is harmonious and the chips are dangerously addictive.
Here's to friendship and more good food. Cheers!
Happy Birthday, Cheat Eat! And, ST, I really think you should try a cake for the occasion. Even just a small one. It *is* a birthday, after all...

Congratulations! My how the time flies when you're eating well. But I don't know about those chips...Maybe you should pair them up with a nice beaujolais and enter them in the WBW 'Like Wine for Chocolate' contest over at C & Z :>)

Happy Anniversary Cheat Eat!!! Well U are still more net savvy than me. To confess I dun even knw how to link or post pics I've taken. Hence, that is partially de reason why I dare not start a blog. Plus of cux de fact dat I am a little strap for time too. So I end up jux being a blog reader instead. And gif my 2 cents worth.:)
