I'm sorry I've been MIA again, but I'm in the middle of a mental vacation. You see, it wasn't planned, but life has kept me busy and I just needed some time to put my act together. I'll explain a bit.

| BahÃa de Cata, Venezuela |
I tried to participate in a food blogging contest, but I wasn't selected. No reasons were given, so I had to figure out by myself what happened. I understand I'm a newbie in all this and that I had some major competition in the contest. That's OK with me. I just would've appreciated some feedback.
Anyway, this situation got me thinking about the direction this blog is taking. I said this wouldn't become another recipe blog. Mostly because my cooking is not so great, but also because there are thousands of excellent recipe blogs out there. I don't want to be another one in the bunch.
I was in the midst of these reflections when life appeared and kicked me in the face. My grandmother, who had been ill for some time, passed away a week ago...
Right now, I'm feeling very sad and that's why I'm taking these mental vacations. I need some time for myself. I'm sure you'll understand.
Hope to be back soon.

P.S.: That picture was taken at my grandma's favorite beach, Bahia de Cata, in Venezuela. It's about one year old and taken by me.

Nice picture, that's an amazing landscape. I really thought it was from a travel agency or similar.
Sorry to learn about your Grandmother. Loosing a loved one is always a sad experience, but help us value the ones that are still around us.
I like to believe that life, like in your Chinese Dinner article, may have several mishaps, but in the end the journey would be well worth it. I read somewhere that happiness is not a destination, it's a journey.
So, go ahead, relax and enjoy your vacation, we'll wait for you right here.
It's tough finding your blogging niche...I'm going on 2 years and still wonder what I'm doing. I'm so sorry to hear about your dear grandmother's passing...thinking of you during this tough time. xo
@Anonymous: That is indeed a lovely beach and a lucky picture. There weren't that many tourists that day and I got a great photo. Thank you for your comments and your wishes. It means a lot.
@Lizzy: Maybe you don't know what you're doing, but you're doing it great. Really, I love your blog and I loved your interview. Thank you for your thoughts. They're greatly appreciated.
