So for the last few weeks, I haven't really been updating this here blog with many new recipes. And I haven't been visiting or commenting much on any of my favorite food blogs either.
Sorry.
Besides my usual excuses (kid, travel, laziness), I have another really, really, really good excuse for my absence in this space and the rest of the blogosphere.
Really. I do.
I just can't say exactly what that excuse is right now. But I can say that I've been working on a HUGE "project" with another food blogger friend of mine for the past few months. Unless things go horribly wrong (and I wouldn't be surprised if they did), we will be announcing this project very soon.
And I promise, it's a doozy. A doozy, I say!
I know, your wheels are spinning from that vague tease, but you'll have to wait just a while longer.
Until then, buckle your seatbelts...

Oh, please tell me you're teasing us with a Filipino food truck! If so, I can only hope it will make its way down to San Diego some day...If my guess is wrong, I can't wait to hear what the project is! Good luck, Marvin!

I often dream of a truck loaded with lumpia pulling up to my door -- could this dream be coming true???

You're being pessimistic with that one little parenthetical! I wish you the best of luck (and I'm going to hit you a little for not telling me about this!!).

Are you going on a bloggers' tour? That would be AWESOME.

I'm going to guess that a joint cookbook is in the works. That would be so cool. Whatever it is good luck!!

Can't wait to hear what your project is! Sounds really exciting! :)

If you're doing a Lumpia Truck, I think you're going to be a millionaire!

Nice blog you got here...one of the best Filipino invention is turon...

Haha...rad! This is definitely an entry worth the wait. Let us know when the nationwide franchise starts. Boston is a great foodie city - you'd have an audience of attentive stomachs!
