Respond and rework – answer the questions on your own blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, and add one more question of your own. Then tag eight or ten other people.

I am replacing the "What are you going to do after this" to "What do you try to cook when you have cooking blues (When you feel real lazy to cook some thing)"?

So Nominees.. expecting interesting answers from all.. Have a good weekend
