Argus World: July 2008
http://argusworld.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Sunday, July 20, 2008. Gallivanting around St Gallen and Mrs HBT's egg tarts. In May, my elder sisters came from Malaysia to visit with us for a couple of weeks. One of the places we went to was St Gallen in the northerly part of Switzerland. It's famous for its pretty decorated window frames (designated a World Heritage feature) in its old town. 200ml milk (low-fat or full cream). 20g butter, half melted.

Argus World: November 2008
http://argusworld.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Heaven's fingers and my fourth Daring Bakers' challenge - caramel cake. Someone's idea of a snowman with an identity crisis? This was taken earlier this week at the lake park in Cham. Fingers of God or rays from heaven - call them what you will, there's no denying that shafts of sunlight breaking through clouds and slipping between trees are one of Nature's quiet wonders. And then ...

Argus World: December 2008
http://argusworld.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. A week of dogmumhood Corn Veggie Fritters. Umbria, our black Labrador ward, was happy to romp on the sidewalk, plowing the snow with her inquisitive nose. At least, she is not tempted by the discarded cigarette butts and other trash (Swiss residents can be so slack! On a usually snowless kerb. If I sit on the floor, Umbria would climb into my lap. Here is her favourite 'manj...

Argus World: October 2008
http://argusworld.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Thursday, October 30, 2008. My 3rd Daring Bakers' challenge - procrastinating pizza! Well, try filming your own pizza-tossing video - I started 'fisting' one piece of the overnight-proofed dough (don't look at me like that; it's in the instructions to 'gently twirl it atop your floured fists', OK? Halloween pizza, it looks like. Double-yikes! Sorry, it'd been snowing last night and today's been cold and lazy...

Argus World: Being and Doing - doo bee doo bee dooo...

A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Monday, November 22, 2010. Being and Doing - doo bee doo bee dooo. Much time has passed since my last post. But did much happen? Depends how you define 'much'. Sometimes being is doing, and doing is not necessarily being. Today I received an email letter from someone at the British Council who told me one of my stories, " Grandma's Horny. As for cooking and baking, I'm slowly increasing my repertoire, includ...

Argus World: May 2008
http://argusworld.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Tuesday, May 6, 2008. A couple of months ago, I was making green creamy vegetable soup with the health-giving likes of zucchini, fennel and spinach. While dreamily stirring the pureed soup, a picture of fragrant Rendang unexpectedly assailed my mind and the idea of "adding some hand-torn kaffirlime leaves during the final five minutes of simmering" floated into my head. 2 tsp olive oil. 7 Add torn kaffirlime...

A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Friday, April 10, 2009. Funny coloured eggs hot cross buns. I've been totally out of blogging and blog-hopping lately. Kind of missed my regular cyber haunts but have also been busy doing other things. Guess this happens to almost everyone, huh? A happy Easter to Christians and happy holidays to those who get four days off. :). These Hot Cross Buns were made from this recipe. 10 April, 2009 15:20. Willkommen...

A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Sunday, February 1, 2009. Rat-tailed Dog in the Year of the Ox Spanish Omelette. Phew, I'm like a new mum (at this advanced age! Exhausted from endless rounds of walks, run-arounds in the park and me putting on coat and shoes (I need Velcro sneakers! Can't tie shoelaces anymore for the umpteenth time! The pup has grown into a teenage mutant ninja Dogzilla. Just look at the contrasting pictures. 1 tomato, cub...

Argus World: December 2011

A place in the cosmos where writers romp freely with all the dogs they have ever known and loved. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Dropping by, saying hi. Thought I should slip in a post before 2011 whizzes by unrecorded as far as this semi-abandoned blog is concerned. Before the year goes to sleep and never gets up again. So was Pear Touronde, something I found in a library cookbook. Dog finds a best friend in Enya, an Irish soft-coated wheaten terrier. They are so evenly matched and neither dominates t...
