I disappeared from blogosphere for yet another week..
But this time I had a real good bad reasonL
I was diagnosed of an unnecessary growth in my nose..
And we had to spend quite a lot of time in hospital doing tests after tests to identify the root cause.
The worst phase was the 3 days when we had to wait for my biopsy results
Man…that was my longest weekend!! And probably the only time I felt weekend was too long and we just want it to be over.
I can’t pen down the feelings we went through during those 3 days..
When you realize you are this close to one of the most dreadful disease..And your life might never be the same again!
Thank to God and to my family for all their prayers...It was not what we feared and I felt soo relieved when doc called me to tell the test results
Needless to do say there was not much cooking happening in my kitchen recently.
Anyways we are back to the routine now and I was on a cooking spree this weekendJ
Now back to today’s recipe.. Lemon Grass and Ginger drink
If you are a Thai cuisine admirer like me you sure must have tried this refreshing drink!
I must say this cooling and refreshing drink is the perfect accompaniment to the hot Thai foodJ
You can try the hot version and it’s an excellent remedy for Cold and flu.
