Well, the Valentine’s Day is finally over. I hope that you all had an extra awesome time with your families. Mine was great too!
I also made some mouth-watering dishes including mini strawberry cheesecakes, which I will be sharing after a couple of savory recipes. This is because I have been sharing so much sweet stuff lately.
Too much sweet is not good for anybody’s teeth, that’s what we keep telling to Little-A. I think the same rule applies to us elders too, so it’s time to practice what we preach! 😉
And soon I will share sweet stuff too!
I have successfully shot the video for the mini strawberry cheesecakes — the only part which is not done is the editing part. And that sure takes some time. Yeah! Still editing does take time for me.
I am a bit more efficient in shooting videos nowadays, but the only thing which takes time is the rendering. And this is something I have no control over.
I so wish that I had a super-powered machine which could render videos in a flash, but I think that’s just a dream which cannot come true. At least for now. 🙂
