I heard about this the other night from Carol who heard it from someone else. Looks like more people are sharing the same affinity with Dabai seeds. I'm going to form a Dabai seed fan club soon.Greg Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910357316112134289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389659355332141065.post-20034744969498487972009-11-18T22:36:57.845+08:002009-11-18T22:36:57.845+08:00Eeee YA!

That's why some people have warmer hands and may not be able to handle chocolate well. <br /><br />I feel strange having this conversation here, cos I don't cook AT ALL. But I guess having to watch Nee do her stuff, hear her complain, & her lecture series to me about cooking theories all this while, some of the things actually stayed in my head. And I rely on that to make sense of the strange cooking phenomenon that happens around me on a daily basis.Greg Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910357316112134289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389659355332141065.post-89580492996095899272009-11-11T18:24:48.245+08:002009-11-11T18:24:48.245+08:00got to try the frozen method.
