This is a journal of how we live, eat, learn, play and have fun. Work? Work is part of playing and having fun. Seriously.

In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP.

thanks,

hi connie! i was searching for new recipes and stumbled upon your blogs and got hooked (parang addict). since last night, i haven’t stopped reading and catching up.
currently, my family is living in riyadh but this is about to change coming april of 2010 since our only daughter will already be in college. at last we’ll be coming home. we have bought a house way back 2004 but sad to say, no improvements and necessary renovations were made yet. i got impressed with your kitchen pics and would like to have it as the inspiration for our kitchen though ours is quite smaller. anyways, who made your kitchen and how can i get in touch?
btw, i’m a fan! Godbless~

Hi Ellen,
When we bought the house, the kitchen was already complete. We just had it repainted and had an additional cabinet installed.
