I’m Back!!! :)

25 November 2007 234 views 24 Comments

Hey everyone, sorry for being offline so long. I never expected that my net problems would have lasted as long as did. Good news though, my connection is back and so without further drama or delay I can get back to posting and sharing recipes, reviews and other food-related items that catch my eye here in Trinidad :)

Thanks to everyone who sent emails of concern and encouragement, I will respond to everyone in due time :D There were some rather unkind comments as well, but that’s life I guess? :(

Anyway, this is brief because I have a lot of site maintenance to catch up on, as well as pictures to scroll through and edit (you didn’t think I had stopped cooking did you??) It’s always harder to get back into rhythm once it’s broken, but I have missed this site and the larger online foodie community so I’ll get over the inertia :) Hope you’re glad to ’see’ me again :)

    And a dozen rotten eggs thrown on whoever would send you mean comments!

    Hey! Congrats!! Kept checking to see when you’d be back to posting once I knew you were back online. Welcome back. Can’t believe there would be unkind comments, but trash those, the rest of your audience awaits. :-D

    Nice to see you back Sarina. I wasn’t worried because I knew Chennette would say something if there was a real problem. I think things are bad when I get no comments, but unkind comments???

    YEAH!!!!!! (Two hands in the air!!)
    Your USA fan is too excited about you posting again.

    BLOCK OUT THE HATERS and KEEP IT MOVING!!!!!
    The real fans are still here and waiting for new recipes and pics.

    Cannot wait!!

    …to Sarina and fellow TG posters, I want to know why Trinidad is not sharing KC Candy GINGER MINTS and Diana’s Power Mints with the world?!!!! They are my favorite candies. If it wasn’t for my Trini “friend”, I would still be in the dark. He came in handy for something!!!(LOL)

    Hey Sarina! Welcome back! I wondered what had happened… Like Chennette, I kept checking my feeds daily to see if you have posted.

    Looking forward to seeing what delicious things you have been cooking up!

    Welcome back love.

    It was good to talk to you on IM the other day. Now I can commence with virtually sexually harassing you again. :P

    What kind of negative comments were you getting, I’m really curious?

    Glad to hear you’re back up and running! You’ve been missed. Trinigourmet.com is a wonderful part of the blogosphere experience.

    I’m sorry for my late comment. I’ve been behind on my blog reading, as well.

    Happy Holidays!! :-D

    Dear Sarina,
    Glad to be here after long, was remembering you for the Dark cake you baked around the same time last year! Been off blogging myself for some time but back now, and happy to catch up with old friends.

    Cheers
