STUFFED CRESCENT ROLLS

Finally the exams are over , so whts the first thing i decided to do...quite obvious actually i decided to try something new today. And I made my very first Stuffed Crescent Rolls. Frankly this is the first time i had Crescents. But before I jump onto my recipe I would like to thank Manuela for passing me the award.  I dont know how to express in words the feeling am going through right now. Its the feeling that you have when someone whom you look up to appreciates your work. No words or expression are enough to express the feeling.....I am having the same feeling when i read a message from Manuela saying she has an award for me. I totally look up to her for all the innovative and wonderful recipes she has. A very talented lady I must say, I have learnt a lot new dishes from her. Thanks Manuela for making my day.  But blogging is about sharing and there rules to claim this award . So lets follow the rule. I prefer to visit different resturants and try out different types of food. I am totally addicted to TV  . The first thing is do when I wake up is switch on the TV and its on the whole time I am at home. I am a total believer of faith and destiny. I absolutely adore travelling...I love to go to different place and not only see the tourist attractions but also meet different people and have the local food. I dont like to make the morning tea and prefer if someone does it for me as of now its on to the small bakery shop near my house.... :) I am a very talkative person and love to spend time with my family and friends.I love talking to my mom over phone and we can do that for hours. I love to spend time watching the architectural beauty of the old buildings. 10 bloggers to pass the award, well that's the tough one :  http://www.tasteofbeirut.com/ http://recipesfortheverydaywoman.blogspot.com/ http://vegetariantastebuds.blogspot.com/ http://thischickcooks.blogspot.com/ http://www.mistress-of-spices.com/ http://thesaucykitchen.blogspot.com/ http://www.bitemekitchen.com/ http://thechefandherkitchen.blogspot.com/ http://superyummyrecipes.blogspot.com/ http://www.loveandoliveoil.com/
