It means they're enjoying it! :)<br /><br />I like "Secrets of the Red Lantern" by Luke and Pauline Nguyen. It's a gorgeous book with authentic recipes and a heart-wrenching story. Although, I am conflicted about whether that type of story is appropriate for a cookbook.<br /><br />I also have a soft spot Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-62578705961261301172010-09-26T12:42:58.210-07:002010-09-26T12:42:58.210-07:00Shuku,

And only because I was making the rice plate. It's not one of my comfort dishes. So it's great to hear that you like it so much.<br /><br />I turn more to soups for favorite dishes, as you can tell. If I must, I would happily subsist on only soup Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-23621586102070930992010-09-26T10:13:06.111-07:002010-09-26T10:13:06.111-07:00I just wanted to say I really love reading your bl...I just wanted to say I really love reading your blog. There was a period of time when I had to really exhibit some self control or else I would end up spending two or three hours going over old posts (I started following earlier this year).

Except I ran out of carrots and wished I had more in it. :(<br /><br />I think the evolution of your blog is awesome; it's getting even more personal and it seems like you interact with your readers more through your post i.e. Ask WC posts :) <br /><brConversations With a Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583481794087775266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-18487179756150634122010-09-25T11:46:20.264-07:002010-09-25T11:46:20.264-07:00Now those dishes sound -really- good.

Mine has gone down to practically near zero these days, and I suspect age (as well as dealing with far too much drama irl) has a lot to do with it.

So what do you think of it's "evolution"?<br /><br />Well, I know lots of bloggers who use the giveaways as ways to get more traffic and ask you to follow them on Twitter or Facebook in order to win the prize, similar to what I did with the Pasadena Wine Festival but that's at their request, not for my blog.
