You may wonder what on earth is Emily doing by showing us some ready-made frozen food?
Please don’t let my aluminium trays mislead you! Sure when food comes in a box (aluminium or plastic), the immediate impression one has is either the food is:-

I’ve been wanting to organise a potluck party inviting some new friends whom I met since moving to Orange. As you all know procrastination is the thief of time – it has been a good few months since my potluck plan is in the works and I’m starting to feel a little embarrass for dragging it out that long.
