 ADDY AND LYNNE THANKED SURESH SHRESTHA, FOR NOMINATING US FOR THE SUNSHINE AWARD AND COOKING VARIETIES (wan maznah) being one of those nominated, ALSO EXTEND HER THANKS TO SURESH FOR THE SAME

MORE ON ADDY AND LYNNE:

"Two became friends from far away 
From opposite ends of the world one day,
Never  realizing a warm hello 
Would start a friendship that soon would grow!"
“We joined our blogs and work together for fun!
She loves maroon, and he loves black.
They both love chocolate, family, and friends,
Giving to others, and cheering the sad.
She loves the beach, and they both love the sun;
He loves pro flash games, and they both love their computers”
ADDY AND LYNN SAID:  cooking-varieties- a very colorful blog full of luscious food and recipes 
and pictures all by a very colorful and compassionate woman and new blogging friend.


Thank you so much for the compliments. It’s fantastic, how two people can blog harmoniously in cyber and be the best of virtual friends. My wish is that both of you will be a very successful pro- team bloggers
My blog is true to the name ” varieties”, not just in terms of recipes but also in terms of therapeutic colors. Even the write up are colored to avoid eye stress, my eyes cant keep looking at white prints for many hours on screen…glaring  ha ha.


Besides recipes and colors, you can also read a lot on health benefits and cooking tips/ techniques, plus a touch of artsy photos sometimes. 
Speaking of varieties, I must also tell you that in my nine  months of blogging, this is my 15th award and I want to share this joy with my deserving blogger friends below:


My well deserving friends, I have always enjoyed myself receiving your visits, as well  as  reading your  sweet  and meaningful comments. I am very hopeful that we remain great blogger friends for a long time.

    Wan, Thanks again for the Chicken Noodle Soup with Veggies. I tried it and the kids loved it. I thought it was not hard to make and not expensive either. I highly recommend people to try that recipe. Thanks
