I've Cheated... I've been Unfaithful...
>> Saturday, 14 February 2009
I come before you with my head bowed for I have flirted, cheated and obsessed about things other than my self-confessed true love... Here's the thing, though my head is bowed I am not sure of how ashamed I am. Does that make me a bad person? Does it mean that I need therapy? You'll have to click here to read the rest of the column.
In order not to give away anything, I'll just leave the pictures below. When you read the column, you'll figure it out. Go on, read the column. When you're done, come and share with me some of yours (don't worry, you'll understand when you've finished reading) :)

So you cheated on fish curry, eh?? Ah well, it's fun to flirt ;-)
Happy Valentine's Day!!
Happy V day to you, Cynthia. Enjoy the day! :))
Flirting with food is fine in fact I recommend it totally. Fish curry is sooo good. The only way to get rid of temptation, is to yield to it!!!
You bad girl! And dirty rice too? Happy Valentine's Day Cynthia! ; )
“I love you, the others don’t mean anything to me. It’s you that I come home to.” :)) Loved this post!!!
How many delicious flings you have had! In this case, monogamy is overrated ;) Happy V day!
MMMM mmmmm mmmm!!! The pictures make me want to "lick my computer screen," according to you. LOL! No wonder you cheated! ;)
You have an obsession with calamari? So do I, Cynthia. Best calamari I have had was in Greece. Fried and served with wedges of lemon to squeeze over the dish.
In my mind we are all food sluts!I am the biggest one! So you are forgiven! Even though "fish curry will always be the one that I shall go home to at night"!
Cynthia, your dishes spells for a very enjoyable Valentine's Day, and a happy one to ya!
Happy Valentine's Day Cynthia!
Happy Valentine's Day!
These dishes look sooooo scrumptious and your pictures are wonderful!
Cheers,
Rosa
Happy Valentines Day, Cynthia! xox
cynthia,
i had to click right over to finish that article! your writing lured me right in! You sure know how to enjoy a good affair :)!
Can I submit a recipe to blogger aid without joining? I have so many projects going, I do not want to add another, but I would love to send a favorite recipe if it would help! This is a fabulous cause you guys are pursuing!
Well sometimes we have to cheat and experiiment a little. Sounds like it was worth it.
Ha! Great post! Happy V-day to you!
Hi Cynthia!
Happy Saint Valentine's Day!
This was a delightful essay to read!
I must be a flirt also because I love to try new cuisines and I'm always discovering lots of new tastes to enjoy.
The pho bo soup sounds like something I'd love! I must remember to try that someday soon!
Even if I come full tummy to ur spot, u are killing me showing so many delicous pictures in one page Cynthia. Hope u had a wonderful V-Day!
I also love the Pho Soups, but I can't warm up to those balls of mystery meat that have that odd "snap" when you bite them. I stick to stickly sliced beef in my Pho soups
I am late, but Happy VDay Cynthia, loved your column .. my obsession is roasted root vegetables, I cook them other ways but I always come back .. nothing beats a roasted carrot!
You are right about Calamari, it's so good anyway you eat it. Thanks for all your help over at BloggerAid and for contributing with a delicious recipe of yours. BTW I took the liberty to reply to Meredith's question as I know how busy you are. Just in case others are interested as well, you do not have to be a member of BloggerAid to contribute to the cookbook.
I guess we are just culinary harlots!
I love the dish your fish curry is in, so cute.
Hope you had a lovely Valentine's day. We had souvlaki.. but I can't promise to be faithful to it, no matter how much I love it.
have many more years of romancing food, dear cynthia.
:-) Had fun reading:-) Those pics are sooo good. I miss my fish curry from back home. Really really bad, as we do not get as much fresh water here as I am used to eating.
& we loved the dirty rice when we were in the Bahamas. had it every single day 2ce a day.
It's okay to cheat ...once in a while. I've been unfaithful too swearing undying love to all things fried...and then the grilled stuff stole my heart and now I am torn between them two ;)
Looks like a lovely dish for a great cause, Cynthia! And a little culinary philandering never hurt anyone... ;)
Everyone deserves a little flirtation! Well...maybe not the husbands and boyfriends...let's make that almost everyone! :)
Thanks for the mention Cynthia and for your delicious submission to the BloggerAid cookbook and raising awareness for the children.
Cynthia How dare you have a affiar, you TERRIBLE woman:-) but i am so glad that it is with the fish curry and with your thinly cut aubergine, and anyway you may go all dirty again with the rice :-)
I think it is okay! If experimenting with different foods and flavors is cheating, then I am sure we are all guilty of it! Glad to hear you are enjoying eggplant now!
Happy Valentine's Day my dear friend!
oh Cynthia! That looks wonderful! All the curries, rice..yum!
Happy Love Day to you to Cynthia!
I totally support you on cheating and flirting....when it comes to food =) Love your lap cheong fried rice, simple yet delicious!
Great recipes Cynthia I loved the fried chicken and the other pics are beautiful too.
Hows the book going? :-)
Oooo I rather flirt with food than man, any time! :-D
You got yummylicious recipes and picts...keep on flirting!!!
all the snaps looks dam tempting..howp u had a wonderful V day..
dear Cynthia , your blog is always a heaven of the senses ! Thank you
What a flirt Cynthia !! Hope you had a wonderful valentine's with all your flings ;-)
Looks fabulous as always!
haha! that was a cute article.. you're forgiven. everyone cheats once in a while (then that makes me a whore then for being unfaithful so much..with food ok?? LOL!) I LOVE BREAD FRUIT. We have it in my country too (Philippines). But I've always eaten it only boiled, or fried with caramelized sugar...yum! And we add it to soups too...
Nice read.....the fried rice and the Vietnamese soup look too gorgeous.Nick click as usual.
mmmm fish curry
mmmm calamari
It all sounds good to me :)
Happy Valentine's!!
Cynthia,
flirting with food is no sin :))....
all the pics are very delicious and inviting!
here hope you keep on flirting with food and create delicious recipes......
hugs and smiles
So you had a good V day, inspite of cheating ;-)
That is a perrrrfect way to cheat :) I am planning to follow in your footsteps too ;) . I am looking forward to participate in the Monthly Mingle event.
Fabulous heart-tugging food, Cynthia - the way to anyone's heart!
Eggplant flirting?!! You are too funny. That is so interesting when you think about it. I guess being a foodie means having one giant love-in every meal of the day.
Love your BloggerAid dish.
Happy Love Day is a daily celebration for us, the Binsted's household hehehe... Isn't flirt and fling on food welcomed? Talking about curry, really ;) You're such a generous person, Cynthia. I can't wait to read your book once it's arrived! Thanks so much!
You are so coy, my dear friend. Nothing to forgive here...
Hi Cynthia. I had such a wonderful holiday on your gorgeous island. Such a fabulous place you are so lucky to live there. We love to go to to Saint Nicholas Abbey and have been watching its refurbishment with interest. A great job being done there. We also bought some of their rum. As always I am blown away by the friendliness of the locals. The climate is so perfect and the food just beautiful. The sea is so warm and welcoming. Oh I wish I was back. I thank you for asking.

Loved reading that funny article of yours. It made my day. :)
HELLO CYNTHİA!!!HOW ARE YOU ????
That pho looks so good.
cheeky thing! Flirt away!
I just discovered your blog and am adding you now to my 'just delicious' list!
Belated V day wish cynthia:)Fish curry is tempting dear:)
Cute Cynthia!
And I am in love with Pho too, no secret though...

That was an interesting read Cynthia. Atleast you confessed and remembered them all, I don't even do that :)). See, am that bad. Your mention of breadfruit roast made me drool, just love it. All the pics here look just great.
Can't ask for anything more Cynthis dear...This is feast....
Cynthia, if fish curry is your favourite, then you must visit Goa someday and try the FCR (as Fish Curry & Rice is known here).
I am vegetarian and so cannot give you my take on this, but I know of lots of people who swear by it.
You hussy you ;-) Love that pic with the red chillies on top - gorgeous!
loved that story about your mischiefs around eggplants and the dhals and your torrid affair with the Pho Bo, hahahha; I guess you're taking advantage in the best way you can?? :)if that cheating can bring you happiness , why not? yummy dishes anyway! no wonder you're being unfaithful to one after another :)
