Dear MM,

not sure wheter if i got that right – but supposingly you need some “rest”.
Not sure either if you will read this comment after 655 before, but anyway…

Best things always should stopped when they are at its best – when Gary Larson stopped his drawing of cartoons nobody could understand, same with Calvin & Hobbes writer Bill Watterson.
But after doing something essential in a very good way – it might lack challenges or so and you want to improve in whatever way.

Writing a book i would deeply appreciate; i dont really think that books are not read anymore.
Especially with cookbooks (at least over here in Europe) where for example Jamie Oliver did very well and somehow started a Renessaince in cookbookwriting and doing shows in which he got VERY successfull.
So doing a fun book in “this style” would be absolutely phantastic.

Anyhow i wish you all the best and thank you for all your fabolous recepies and other goodies…
regards from Austria

ps. something at last for your dining experiences: if you ever go to London / UK you should get into a “show” or contact with BOMPAS & PARR.
They are THE guys for Jelly

Someone directed me to your blog when I first arrived in the Philippines from Europe. Ever since this is where I’ve turned to in my search for enlightenment about Philippine cuisine and ingredients. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.

I am glad to see some recent posts. When I started reading this blog I was new at cooking and at a foreign country to boot. I learned a lot of techniques and methods and of course inspiration and recipes from your site. Now I can say with that I am very much more confident cooking for family and friends and have even tackled other south east asian cuisine. Thanks a lot Marketman!

By the way, forgive me if this sounds silly, but if you do decide to call it quits, does that mean I’ll have to save all your posts? Will you take the site down? Oh my, oh my, I do hope a sabbatical is all you need. Just to let you know, I will be very happy with the “few-and-far-between-posts” situation if you do decide to stay on…and I’m sure that many of your readers feel the same way. :-)
