Hi Everyone! I am here, somewhere. Traveling. I can’t wait to get to a place with Wi-Fi, or even a dial-up, so I can let you all know of my whereabouts and doings… 

But, while I am away, enjoying my home country, some of my favorite bloggers will be sharing their amazing creations with you.

On Monday I had the pleasure of introducing you to the wonderful Kita from Pass the Sushi, and today I am excited to introduce you to my dear friend, Sandra from Sandra’s Easy Cooking. 

Hello Diethood Readers,
