Tennis and Conversation was about food, wine, travel, love and other distractions – and hardly anything about the game. As one reader commented: all talk, no tennis. In 2010, while I wasn’t looking – truth was I missed Google’s reminder that my domain was about to expire and I should pay up! – someone bought the domain, tennisandconversation.com. Now, it’s all tennis and no conversation, just a one-way discourse on the game by some consultancy firm.
Good thing I’ve turned my blog into a book via this incredible website, blog2print. I have printed only two copies – one to be kept in Toronto and the other in Manila – but a pdf file resides here in My Open Kitchen.
Through my old blog, I met a lot of people – most of them passionate bloggers and avid commenters – who not only became friends but, to this day , continue to be great company at dinner tables. I hope to draw the same passionate, interesting folks to My Open Kitchen.
Reading Tennis and Conversation requires patience, as it is in PDF format. But I promise you a good read. Scroll down the pages, or jump to a page for any title or subject you fancy from the table of contents.

Hi
First of all, I didn’t write that phrase “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” I wanted to get the contact details of Lydia Go. And am interested to meet you in person (and your other foodie buddies) and perhaps join your food trips?
Hi, Rossana. I wish I could meet you in person too. I have made a lot of good, like-minded friends through blogs and have gone on many food trips with them. That’s why whenever I am in Manila, I make sure I reconnect with them. I reside in Toronto, Canada now and if you happen to swing by, just buzz me here (myopenkitchen). There’s a lot of culinary finds in Toronto that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. As to Lydia Go’s number, I’m not sure if I have the liberty to share them. But if you really want to meet her, just call any of the film productions in Manila, like Provil. Lydia Go is the country’s foremost food stylist. They’ll be happy to connect the two of you. If it helps, you can mention my name as reference.
