So, staring straight at me is my flat screen, and here I am typing away, with funny noises coming from my tummy. ;b Food...trust me when I emphasise how everyone else never fails to marvel at my passion and how my eyes instantaneously start to sparkle when chattering about all that I reckon are to die for! Hahahaha...
Here goes...
