Joyful, Joyous and Jubilant, these are the words I can say for myself right now for describing my self...sitting here and looking at my inbox, making roundups for my first event which I had announced nearly 8 weeks ago,when my baby (my blog) was only two months old and I setup a challenge for myself. I was very apprehensive, but I had faith that my fellow joyful bloggers would respond well to my first event and make it successful. By surprise
Asha of ASHAON KA also helped me to spread the word about my event on her blog..Hey Ash Thanks a lot sweetheart!! and also I would like to extend my gratitude to my bloggywood buddies who sent in their entries for this event...It's my pleasure to pass on to all of you participants with this small token in form of a 'Participant Award'..please accept it... So here I am with the round up # 1 with 40 entries....and adding 3 of mine..total 43.. I thought they were all great....so let's find out where our fellow bloggers have been and what dish they were eager to recreate at home !
Nayna has sent us
Cous cous Salad, very versatile dish...she and her family tried whilst they were holiday in
Greece and since then became a firm family favourite......
Kalai couldn't resist
Bean Enchiladas, after she had much-needed trip, to her
sister's house

Kerala and she couldn't forget the yummy taste...

Radhika and her husband went on a nature holiday to
Tennessee...after coming back she made

Washington DC, they brought back the unforgettable memories a very tasty
fruit and chocolate Muffin at a coffee shop over there..

Chipotle, but very similar to its Burrito bowl...
Azmeena says first time ever she tasted
Shahi Raan in
India, after their wedding, in a particular restaurant..where you have to place the order two days in advance...but now Azmeena or her husband don't need to wait for two days because with her mum's help finally she has presented a dish on the table....
Deepa and her hubby had a great experience of tasting delicious
Chocolate Pancakes prepared by her SIL in
Malaysia.. The taste of these pancakes had caught on big time with the couple...
Daisy Blue says if you are Hydrabadi or visited
Hydrabad in India and haven't tasted
Double ka Meeta...you have committed a terrible Sin ! So by tasting and now preparing she hasn't committed a sin, so prevent yourself from this sin and try out this delectable dish...
Nisha and her better half managed to try some exotic
Thai Green Curry, while they were on their holiday on their 1 st wedding anniversary in
Thailand...she describes Thai food was bloody cheap and out of this world...she made it at home and she thinks its easiest curries she has ever made....
Siddhi has sent steamed
Chicken Momos...she tasted this for the first time in
Pune in North-Eastern restaurant, and now days she prepares them at home...
Swathi got overwhelmed with joy, when her dear husband gave her the ideal present, what she always wanted!! A visit to Ajanta Ellora, many temples and one of the seven wonder's of the world 'Taj Mahal'.....This is in
Aurangabad, where they had an amazing tea, flavoured with Cardamom....for them it was an unforgetful taste of
'Cardamom Tea'
