My dear friends, I checked the blog a little.

There were many recipes and pictures missing, when the forum hub did the changes.
I too lost lot of pictures and recipes, when my p.c crashed.
I felt so sad that lot of my hard work was wasted.

My niece in US, keeps tags of my recipes and pictures.
I hope to get things from her and repost them again.

So please if there are are any double posts, kindly forgive me.
I will try my best revive all my recipes.

Thanks, Kugan98

You are heaven sent, Kugan. I am planning to do this with our local tauhu (tofu). My wife is nuts about tofu, not so much on the mock meat.

Me too, but the problem with Tofu is, it tastes "horrible" unless you "deep" fry it. and one you deep Fried it. All the oil is "soaked" into the Tofu, making it an Excellent Agent to Promote "cholesterol" .
