It’s one of the things I love most about the web: a link here, a click there, a pop-up here, a splog there, and suddenly- you strike gold. It could be a photograph that captures your imagination, a social networking site that connects you to an old friend you miss, a search engine that makes you feel really lucky, or a blog entry that just makes you smile.
It was the latter that led me to first discover Burnt Lumpia, with his entry titled I Think I Shall Name Him… Kal!, wherein he- an American Pinoy named Marvin- searches for and finds a kalamansi tree to call his own:
“Pssst!” I heard him say to me as I walked past.
“Pssssssst!” I heard the familiar call again.
“Pssssssssssst! Hoy!”
And there he was, a lone Filipino hidden behind Meyer Lemons and Valencia Oranges. I had found the one and only Kalamansi tree in the nursery. Woohoo!
Since then, Burnt Lumpia has been one of my daily blog visits. His latest post, An American Pinoy in Paris, features, among other things, some mouthwatering gelato and- my all-time favorite, and what has to beone of the greatest inventions of man- french macarons. Mmmm.
This is my first post in a new category for this blog, Delicious Food Blogs. You can expect more features on other food blogs I love coming soon.
