@The Chef In My Head - Thanks very much. My weekend is often wonderful, especially when there are friends around cos I get to cook more, enjoy the food and all the chat and laughter. Trust you have great weekends too.
Huijin on November 12th, 2009
wow, Mary,it is the first time I visit your blog. I am really impressed. I like the name “keep smiling” I just picked up one very good saying: smile is a curve that straightens out a lot of things. In God, we smile.
Mary on November 12th, 2009
@HuiJin - Thanks for visiting and for your lovely comment. Totally agree with you that a smile can straighten out many things. So….KEEP SMILING!
tzakiel on March 3rd, 2010
I sent you an e-mail but I didn’t hear back yet. How did you create this recipe index page in wordpress? Is there an automatic way or do you manually update here each time? Thanks! Still learning, still smiling.
Mary on March 4th, 2010
@tzakiel - I’m so sorry I didn’t receive your email. Wonder why. Well, there’s no automatic way to do this. I do it manually. I’m still learning, too, to be more organised.
tzakiel on March 4th, 2010
Thanks for the response. I actually DID find a way to make it automatic. Here is my example, this page is dynamic when I post to Recipes category on my blog:
http://www.jonvandalen.com/lte/recipe-index/
I think it will also handle sub-categories for appetizers, soups, entrees, etc… going to test that right now.
tzakiel on March 4th, 2010
Oh I forgot to say I will be glad to let you know how I did it, if you decide you want something like this. It’s a plugin, but I had to look up a few tricks to get it to do what I wanted.
Mary on March 9th, 2010
@tzakiel - Thanks very much for further info and help!
Appreciate very much. I’ll take a look into it.
kykembara@yahoo.com on September 27th, 2010

Mary on September 28th, 2010

honey on October 15th, 2010
For a 3cup flour moist yoghurt cake with vanilla favouring, how many eggs do i need. 3eggs or more?
The reason i am asking is cos in your recipe for the chocolate yoghurt cake 6eggs are to be used. i tried that n my chocolate yoghurt cake was excellent. Now i’ll like to bake a yoghurt vanilla cake , and since your website hasn’t got a recipe for that i tried reading other recipes.and the dosage of eggs for most of the recipes i saw online are 3. now why is it only 3 whereas the chocolate yoghurt was 6eggs.
So my question is how many eggs do i nid for a 3cup flour yoghurt cake?..
i’ll be baking one tomorrow.
i appreciate your website alot. Cheers Mary!
Mary on October 15th, 2010
@honey - Wow….wonderful to know you are doing more baking! I sure have lots to catch up
As for the vanilla yoghurt cake, I’m so sorry I won’t be able to tell how many eggs you need without knowing the other ingredients. I actually just tried with 6 eggs for my chocolate yoghurt cake because of the amount of yoghurt I used (a lot) and was very glad it came out very successful. I think if you use 3C flour, I would still use 6 eggs. I think that’s a big cake. Most of my cakes only use 2C flour. Hope this helps. Have fun baking ![]()
