Reading blogs…can be like a carnival ride.
There are some blogs that are so full of positive energy, that you read it with a huge smile on your face. Then, there are some blogs in which the bloggers are going through some rough times, and your heart aches for them. Some blogs are funny and spunky, and you can’t help laughing out loud; others are deep and pensive, calming you down for silent meditation.
All of them are necessary in the blog world, to keep things colorful and real. I love that although this World Wide Web is very much virtual, it is still quite similar to the real human world. But for now, I want to talk about the support system here in the blog world.
I think no matter how much we’ve tweeted and commented on each other, there are still limitations to the blog world. When it comes to a real and effective support system, I wonder how much the blog world can help you. We are still strangers, after all, and there can only be so strong a connection between us.
First of all: Though one might receive temporary relief from the warm comments that the readers leave you, it’s a different matter once you’re away into the real world, and dealing with these real and painful problems.
Second: We’re faced with a pretty one-sided point of view, and we only get to see from the perspective of the blogger’s words and emotions. So for example, if the blogger is ranting about someone, or hurt by someone, we may be quick to defend this blogger and express outrage for her, but we really do not know the whole story. Not always a bad thing, but just saying.
Third: While reading some blogs, there are a few disturbing things on which I really want to point out (mostly ED-related), but I find myself keeping silent most of the times, because I don’t want to sound too nosy or critical—and besides, it is honestly none of my business. Who am I to tell someone she is eating too little, or working out too much, when I am just a blog-reader, 500 miles away?
However, I can’t deny that I myself have received tons of blessings from you guys, my readers. When I’m down, your comforting comments really uplift me. And even though I still get some generic comments (who clearly did not read my entire post) that says “yummy yum yum” when I just poured out my heart and soul…that makes me laugh out loud and roll my eyes, so even that cheers me up a bit.
So I’ve come to the conclusion that the blog world’s support system can be effective…to a certain degree. I can’t expect my essay-long comments to suddenly change a blogger’s thoughts and mood entirely, but if I can play just a small part in making it better…that is okay, too.
Also, there is a time and a place…Some bloggers, I’ve followed and been in contact enough to be more honest and personal. Others, I don’t know as well, and it’s not my place to be anything, other than friendly and positive.
But there is one thing I can certainly do to all bloggers…and that is to say a little prayer for them, especially those who are clearly having a hard time. So…will you join me? I’m sure for many of you who read blogs a lot, you already have come across several who are not having the cheeriest day.
For today, I’d like to send a little prayer to five bloggers:
Ellie from Inside I Am Still Dancing
Em from Homecooked Em
Tori from Daring to Dance
Grace from Grace Points
Devan from Watermelon Tequila
Love and sweet thoughts to you…I pray that you enjoy peace and joy, in no matter what circumstances you are in right now!
I actually have a prayer list…but I’ll talk more about that next time. 
Now, one blogger who has been in my prayer list for quite a long time is Mimi. Actually, just a few days ago, she was telling me that she knows that our meeting is not a coincidence. She believes it’s the universe, I believe it’s God…but whatever—I just know deep in my heart that our friendship is a very blessed one. I’ve been fortunate enough to witness some dramatic changes in Mimi’s life, and am filled with admiration for this girl’s strength and tenacity. I hope one day she might guest post on this blog to share them, but for now, you’ll have to wait. 
Obviously, another great thing we share is our sense of foodie adventure. This girl will eat whatever I cook for her, no matter how weird it may sound. I wonder if I fried up some chicken feet in lard and served it with cheese and runny eggs, will she still gobble it up? Probably.
Anyway. It’s been too long since we had a cooked together (meaning, I cook and she entertains me), so this time when we met, we cooked something extra special…RISOTTO!
Coconut-Mango Curry Risotto
(serves 2) 
In a medium-sized pot, warm up some chicken stock. DO NOT bring it to a boil, just let it stay warm. In another pot, heat up butter and olive oil. Throw in the onions, and saute the onions for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Mix in the arborio rice, and stir to coat with the onions and oil. Add the apple cider vinegar, then the chicken stock, ladle by ladle. Keep stirring, letting the rice absorb the broth, and then ladling more stock, until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente. This took me about 30 minutes (phew!). Meanwhile, while the rice is cooking, minced together the mango and ginger. You can puree them, but I like having a bit of mango chunks. Once the rice is cooked, you can start seasoning. Add in the spices and seasonings, as much or as little as you want. Then stir in the mango, and the coconut cream. Mix in the spinach, raisins, and the cilantro, stir until wilted. To serve, sprinkle with cashews, coconut, and a bit more fresh cilantro. Oh, and I’m sending this to Christina’s Friday Firsts of course! Question of the day: Is there someone for whom you would like to say a little prayer? And, have you made risotto before? Do share.
OMG! My first time cooking risotto, and it was a freaking success!!! I couldn’t resist creating my own dish instead of following a recipe. I told you, ideas keep popping into my head and I HAVE to implement them! 
I’ve heard horror stories about how hard it is to cook risotto…that’s a LIE. This is the easiest thing ever. You just need patience, what with all the stirring and ladling…but otherwise, a total cinch! 
Mango, coconut, cilantro, raisins, curry spices…How do you say “fiesta” in Indian? Okay, this is not so authentic Indian…but I must say, I missed curry a lot. 
I ate this just an hour after my breakfast, and the lovely fragrance got my appetite going again. I can’t wait to make more risotto! I’m sadly almost out of arborio rice, though. Oh, and I’m totally hitting myself over the head…I just realized that this could have been VEGAN!!! But I messed it up by using chicken stock. Oh well, it was good chicken stock…homemade using Christina’s slow-cooker! My first time cooking risotto…and my second *almost* vegan! But come on…chicken stock is made with chicken bones…which I collected from my friend’s roasted chicken carcass…so technically, I was just scavenging, right? (Please don’t stone me)

mango curry risotto sounds phenomenal! what a sweet combination! definitely a must-try
Coincidentally I’ve just been thinking about the limitations of the blog world myself. Although the support on here brings many great things, when it comes to real life, the online world can only do so much. I think it’s lovely that you have picked out some people who could really use support right now, and whilst the amount we can do to help is limited, we can at least do something.

You are such an amazing person, Sophia.
And your risotto looks delicious. 
This is a wonderful post Sophia, and I am really glad you brought it up. It kind of makes me think about that post you wrote awhile ago about the difference between being a friend and preaching advice; sometimes I think that people only comment to try and tell you what you are doing wrong, rather than just be there for friendship and support. It’s difficult to be the friend rather than the preacher because we are, just as you said, all strangers even though we feel like we know each other. Sometimes I even find myself being a bit too blunt and preachy when I should be just a shoulder to cry on instead.
Being connected without being connected definitely has it’s faults.. but I wouldn’t want to live without it. This world has kind of saved my life, and I have met so many amazing people who have helped me in the toughest of times – including you.
Thanks for the wonderful post! Risotto looks fabulous… can I come over and have you cook for me? Pretty please?

Hey lovely lady! Great post – as always. I love your open, honest insights. I think that the blogger community is rather amazing. I have found great inspiration since becoming a part of the blogger world. I feel as if I have actually “met” some true friends actually. I’ve never made a true risotto. I’ve done one with barley, but never the arborio rice. This recipe sounds fantastic and the pictures make it even better!
wow another great post from you. you are so thoughtful! i agree that the blogging world has it’s limitations but for me it’s a great to show my running side because my “real life” friends don’t get it. and i LOVE it when i get to meet up with those that i “know”. it makes the friendship really start to take on a shape that’s more than words. there’s feeling attached.
you are so sweet.
my life has changed for the better since becoming a blogger. Ive accepted myself, started to let go of food restrictions I placed on myself, and felt such support from everyone.
Also, I just mentioned this on the blog today but there are many things I share regarding myself and my issues or struggles that I dont share in real life because Im not sure people would understand–but, here, I know everyone can relate on some level and that is very comforting.
Great post Sophia! As you know, I am going through a bit here and my blog isn’t really the place to air it. Sure it would be nice to have a bunch of comments saying “we love you Christina” or “hang in there girl,” but in the end, it’s the real life connections that will get you through the REAL stuff. I do have many connections made through the blog land, you being one of the most special (which is why I’ve shared my current struggle w/ you), but I agree that those cannot be all you rely on. Unfortunately I think for a lot of the ED related bloggers that IS their main support group b/c it’s where they feel understood.
I’d like to say a little prayer for Johnny’s sister who is also a great real-life friend of mine b/c of personal struggles she’s currently tackling.
The risotto looks delicious! I have made it once before but I did not have arborro rice, so it wasn’t anywhere near as creamy as it is meant to be. Now that I live in a bigger city that actually sells it, I should tackle again! Thanks for the Friday Firsts shout out!
I always love how expressive your posts are. What a great way of summing up the blog world. I think sometimes just being able to get it out, even if no one comments is tremendously helpful.
This may sound crazy coming from someone who has never met you and lives hundreds of miles away, but I really admire you. Your posts (yes this one, but other too) make me think as much/more than any blog I read and you are just so dang sweet. You’ve got God’s love just shining through in the things you say and it’s such a blessing to read!
And on a lighter note, I have never made risotto BUT I’m making some tomorrow for the Bible Study group that’s coming over! I think it’ll be good though and if not… well, I just won’t think about that
.
You are amazing. Wow, my heart is so touched right now. I can’t even express to you how much peace it brings me to know that someone out there is praying for me. My heart is just swelling with thankfulness for you. That you would take the time to not only leave me such a supportive comment, but also to continue praying for me.
I know that for me, I wouldn’t be back to my happy self today if I hadn’t posted about how I was really feeling about everything on Sunday. Seeing everyone’s comments has lifted me up and given me the support I need to keep on keepin’ on. I am just so thankful for you and everyone else in the blog world.
Have a wonderful, happy day!!
Thank you from the bottom of my happy heart!!
They’re are very few people in this world that are as kind as you are. I’m filled with as much gratitude as a person can have. I can’t say anything else except thank you!
<3 from the bottom of my heart!

YUM RISOTTO
did you really think that would be my response?
Thank you, Sophia. I cried reading this post- talking to you last night meant the world to me. And your tweet about “resting in peace” before I went to sleep? It has been popping into my head all day and making me laugh every time. I feel so blessed to have met you, and this post touched me. Thank you… I hope you know how amazing you are.
But the “yum risotto” still stands- foodie question, is biryani the Indian equivalent of risotto? Looks delicious and combines all my favourite foods! LOVE risotto. BTW…I hope you are impressed with my cooking from scratch these days. Raw chicken AND raw fish- conquered. Risotto scares me a wee bit- everyone says it’s hard to cook?!
I am praying for my aunt right now, and a few special blog friends, you included as always. Especially during the last couple months of school. I am so proud of how you have managed this year. xxx
This was a really great post. I have gone through a lot of things this year and I find comfort in knowing that my readers are always there for me (like you!)
Today I pray for all the bloggers who are going through a hard time…and I pray for this lost dog that I saw this morning…I tried to catch him but he ran off. I pray that he found his way back home safely
Risotto with a Thai twist! I’ve only ever made risotto the traditional way – plain, with added tomato and sausage.
I agree with you on the three points you made about blogging. I’ve seen some bloggers attacked in the comments on their posts because the readers are reading a very one-sided account of their lives. How much do we really know of bloggers, anyway? We really only see what they choose to reveal through words and pictures. I don’t share a lot about my own thoughts and feelings in my posts – I save those for comments and for emails I exchange (and real life, of course!). Anyone looking at my website would think I was a lot cheerier than I actually am, so in that sense I’m not really reflecting my true self.
Anyway, I like the support system, even if it is temporary relief
And, I will keep those 5 bloggers in my prayers.
What an excellent combo of flavors. I love everything coconut these days…didn’t used to, but now I can’t get enough of it’s creamy sweet greatness! Yes, prayers will be said for our fellow bloggers. I just love our community. So you are going to avocado event this weekend….makes me wanna go, not sure if I can leave the family though. xo
This community gives so much support, but like you said, it can only go so far. It’s hard to find the line between supportive suggestions and saying too much, but I think we all appreciate honesty when it comes from a genuine, concerned place. Comments always warm my heart a little, even if they don’t change the situation…it’s nice to know that someone cares. I always look forward to reading your posts for the insight and honesty you offer, not to mention the attitude you have towards food. You genuinely ENJOY all forms of it! Keeping those bloggers in my prayers!
An Italian friend taught me how to make risotto the authentic way, with vegetable broth, saffron, and LOTS of olive oil and stirring. It’s delicious
Hope you’re having a wonderful week!
I think you forgot one of the most important benefits of blogging – the example and standard you set for others. As someone who doesn’t have her own blog I have found so much support and guidance from this community. I may not have a place that individuals can post personal messages or encouraging words directed at me, but each post you ladies publish inspires me and strengthens me in my own recovery. I said on K’s blog (K’s Good Eats) but I really mean it – this community saved my life. So as much as I agree that blogging is not the only support system – it is quite a powerful one.
Thanks!
Nicole G
Yes, my poor friend Aaron got hit in the face with a glass this weekend and now has 14 stitches!!! She is turning 26 today so it is an especially awful thing to have happened
. I’d like to say a little prayer for her!!
Risotto…always good;)
What a beautiful post, Sophia… and I recognized every word. For me, some people in this blogging world DO really mean more. They give support, they make me laugh and/or cry, they give me insights, they inspire me and they are true friends. And yes, I am so talking about you. Thank you for that girl, it means so much to me…

I really enjoyed reading your commentary on the blog world–because everything you say is so true. While it’s nice to have a pack of cheerleaders behind you here in the blogosphere, there is no way they can all know the whole story. Nonetheless, I do say prayers for the bloggers I’ve come to know and like, including you:)
I’ve never made risotto before, as I’ve always been too intimidated!
=D i like how you pray for bloggers! i have to thinking about my spirituality. i feel like i’ve lost sight of that. partially because i feel like i don’t think anything’s going to come of prayer. but you always make me think twice about that.
and yah! your risotto ROCKED!
Well, I for one can definitely say that I appreciate your essay-style comments, and your witty and honest blogging voice. Once again you’ve touched on an area that many would shy away from, but tackled it brilliantly. It’s a little different for me because reality is somewhat subjective from my point of view and often the blogging world seems more tangible and understandable to me than the minefield of social interactions which make up everyday life, and in which my thoughts/actions can’t be filtered through a laptop. So, even a one-line positive comment can utterly make my day: there have been several instances where my mood has literally done a 180 due to something someone has said to me through blogging. I know deep down that we’re all strangers really, but for someone like me who is isolated in the ‘real’ world in some respects (which I am trying to address! I swear I’ll find someone to put up with me, Bipolarity and all, at some point) it’s wonderful to at least be able to connect on some level with some truly lovely people.
I’ve never made risotto but I adore coconut and mango…a vegan version of that recipe would be gorgeous.

P.S I'm so happy for you with regard to your housing situation being sorted out! Seems like positivity really does pay off
Oh, Sophia, I feel exactly the same way when reading some blogs…sometimes I even get annoyed at the blog when I read it and think “ED, ED, ED.” Of course, it’s much more complicated than that and I could be completely wrong…that would be embarassing.
I enjoyed your last post on how you found the perfect housing situation. As a scientific person, I have been having trouble with my faith and reading your stories help to cement my beliefs more, so I am glad you incorporate religion into your blog.
And great-looking risotto! I’m not sure that’s what the Italians had in mind when they created the dish (I think it was the Italians??) but I sure would try it.
Is your semester almost over??? Gah, I can’t wait to graduate high school!
Mmm, mmm, yum! All my favorite flavors rolled into one dish – I must try this!
I think that the comments people leave on blogs really do impact their day one way or another, at least usually they do for me!
Hey chica. I know the feeling. There are so many people that I see, sometimes at the gym and sometimes walking down the street and I just want to reach out to them because I can see that they are hurting themselves…I see myself in them. Unfortunately, as I know from experience you can only help someone who wants to be helped. Otherwise, it’s like talking to a wall. that’s not to say I don’t think you should do anything. Just keep being your inspirational self. And I can’t see how anyone wouldnt’ come around.
Now this risotto. I.e. the good stuff. Looks absolutely amazing. You’ve taken all of my favorite things. And put them in one dish. I don’t know how you do it. You and I must be psychically linked.
This is such a sweet post! I agree completely — I love the versatility in everyone’s blog and how it’s a reflection of their unique character…it makes it so much fun to read them!
Oooh, mango curry! I’ve been dying to make this for a while now, thanks for the inspiration!
Sophia!! This was such a touching post! The blogging world is like a carnival ride… everyone is so different! I love your positive attitude… the one thing we can all do is say a little prayer!
As always… delicious looking food!!!!
This risotto is perfect for the warmer weather!!
There are definitely limitations to blogging friendships- but at the same time I hesitate to minimize the connections, tenuous as they may be. The encouraging comments, even if they may not be well thought out, can mean a lot to someone who isn’t in a place where they can see positivity in their interactions in the real world (i.e. thoughts like “she’s staring at my fat roll” or “I’d be more persuasive if I was more attractive” or any variety of disordered thinking that one may have, whereas through blogging, others are just looking at the words). I guess what I’m saying is never underestimate the power of a simple compliment!
Fabulous post, Sophia! As usual.
And I’m with you on the generic comments. When people do that all I can wonder is whether they’ve actually READ what I posted or just looked at pictures. What’s the point of commenting if all you’re going to say is something that has barely anything to do with what I just wrote? As for honesty, I love it. Sometimes I’ll find myself getting a bit defensive at some blogger’s comments to me but then I realize that if I’m acting like that, maybe I DO need to rethink what I just said/did. I’d rather hear the truth and an honest opinion then hear a watered down version of whatever it is someone wants to say.
That’s what I like about your comments, you say it how it is and I LOVE that. Thank you for being yourself.
PS. Nice risotto! I’ve never cooked it before or even seen it in a store.. or maybe I just haven’t looked. I guess it’s kind of a rice-ish thing?
Sophia, I hope you know how grateful I am for your thoughtful, introspective posts – I always meditate on your insights throughout the day, and I want to thank you for this with more thank-you’s than words could ever say. The limitations and joys of the blog world are so interesting – I have several college friends who are now out-of-town friends with whom I primarily keep in touch via blogging, and I sometimes wonder if we really know what’s going on in each other’s lives, the way we would on the phone? Probably not… Which will always be a limitation, indeed. Yet still, as you said, I find great strength and comfort in the fact that the food blogging community seems to have a collective sense of purpose in uplifting each other and nourishing each other literally and metaphorically.
Speaking of nourishing… Mimi is such a lucky girl to have you as a wonderful friend, helping her along her journey and nourishing her taste buds with this GORGEOUS

I love cooking risotto, especially for the creamy heavenly texture, and I love how you created an Italian-Indian fusion dish with this curried risotto! WOW, as always!
P.S. Uh oh, I’m so sorry for my accidental mid-comment comment… *sheepish expression*
I noticed you didn’t add cheese!! Maybe I’ll try this!
yummy yummy yum yum…haha just kidding..great post..i too have met great people with my blog…I also enjoy interacting with people from so many different parts of the world…prayers going out to all the bloggie..i will visit them…stay sweet..love the risotto all my fav flavors-curry,mango,cilantro and cashews.
sweetlife
Risotto is so easy–I never understand why everyone fusses over how difficult it is. Yes, it’s care-intensive, and yes, if you aren’t mindful it gets gummy, but just pay attention and stir and there’s really no secret to it.
lame? =(
i guess so. i do get a little excited because this stuff has never happened to me!
plus i have a friend who loves these little updates.
ive never had or made risotto, but it sure looks delish. actually ill just take the cashews. obsessed with cashews. can i say a prayer for more cashews?
seriously though, my prayer today is for a friend who just shared the happy news of her pregnancy!
I agree with you Sophia, I think the blog world has certain limitations, it is somewhat artificial (ie the comments that are simply commenting on pix or their skimming of the post rather then taking the time to actually read it! haha!) we are in cyber world while blogging and as a result personal connections cant as easily be made, however without it I would not have had the oppertunity to get to know and learn about some really amazing strong inspiring people( not to mention their wonderful eats!) I think blog world needs to be taken with a grain of salt but I do feel the positives far outway thenegatives so long as the bloggies have a social group and connections beyond it!! For the most part I think it is a healthy fun outlet for a lot of people, including me!! hehe
A lot of people are in my prayers, including you sophia, for you to keep your strength and for you to continue growing in your faith!<3 <3 <3 Have wonderful day tomorrow girl!!! (and sorry for the novel of a comment i guess i was proccessing a little about blogworld hehe) <3
HMMM I have never had rosotto, but I think i will try a veganfied version, just minus the chicken stock!!
Yummy yum yum.
JUST KIDDING! I always read your whole blog. don’t you get annoyed when people don’t? I do sometimes but it’s also humbled me into realizing I’m just not that important and some people don’t have time to read everything. Your risotto looks amazing. I know eventually you’ll grow tired of hearing me say it, but your creativity in the kitchen is so awe-inspiring to me. I don’t think I’ll ever cook the way you do. But I can follow a recipe like no other–LOL! My prayer is for a co-worker whose Grandpa just had a heart attack and is still in the hospital. Well, for his whole family, of course including the Grandpa. And no, I’ve never made risotto but it’s on my bucket list!
Blogging sure does its limitation, but it’s a great outlet to let those emotions out especially when there are situations where the person writing the words may not have anyone to tell them to.
I haven’t made risotto yet, but I made something similar using orzo pasta.
Blogging can be an online therapy and a great community supporting others, if it is done in the right way
Hey the special risotto is memorable!!
Have a great week,
Gera
Dear Sophia, I am very touched by your little prayer. It warmed the cockles of my heart!:) Thanks for always being encouraging…and cheering me up through your blogs. I never go a day without reading ur blog and marvelling over your creations!:P So keep it up, sis.
Hi Sophie, you may not know but I do pop up your blog for a visit once in a while. I remembered dropping by your blog when you were in S’pore! And now you are in Cali, I will be back in Cali next month hopefully.
And what do I need to say – your risotto does not look as if you are making it for the first time – they sound and look good (I mean, I saw “mangoes” in it). Delish!
Aww you are so sweet Sophia to send them your prayers! And so true, you can never know the full story on someone’s blog until you know them.
My first time here, but loved landing to this post,its so so cute actually…i’ve met some wonderful pals in blogosphere and its absolutely nice u sending prayers…
Ofcourse ,we all need that little pat and a word of encouragement and however cheery i may be, something nice sure cheers me up some more:-))
The rissoto looks delish and ur pics are lovely!
Have a super sparkly day sweety!!!
1) your blog is wonderful. i always click through when i see your name in the comments of others that i read, but for some reason didn’t subscribe. i’m changing that now! i love your spirit, your sense of balance, and your bold embrace of the sweeter (and fried-er?) things in life! and your writing is impeccable.
2) the risotto is a very creative hybrid sort of dish! i think i will make it (except no cilantro ‘cuz i’m a hater)
3) excellent points about support in blogland. i tend to keep stressful things private, and yesterday decided to vent a little bit on my site. i still feel a little weird about airing my frustrations, but the support does help a little. and it just helps to get my feelings out there a little bit!
Your posts always amaze me – how do you do that? Sophia, you’re one of the kindest souls in the blogworld. Love you!
.
The blogging community definitely has some limitations but I also think that we bloggers often share things that we wouldn’t tell others first.. Like when we feel down we usually don’t call everyone and tell them how depressed we feel. I think it’s nice to share good and bad emotions with my bloggie friends
I can’t believe you’ve never made risotto though! You totally missed out
. Well I basically live next to Italy and grew up with that cuisine and am very picky when it comes to risotto. It has to be perfect 
. Yours looks out of this world amazing. I like your “exotic” twist to it!
ps: i quoted you on my post this AM, hope that’s ok!
What a sweet post (both with your words and that deeeelicious looking risotto, which I’m pretty sure needs to be on the menu at some swanky Hawaiian resort)! Yep, there are totally different blogs for different moods – and all of them are totally fab. I want to say a little prayer for all of the people who want to start a blog or start writing in general but are afraid. I think beginning to write and put yourself out there can be so tough and make you feel so insecure, but it’s also so wonderful and liberating.
And thanks for your comment on my blog – I loved it! You’re right; diets aren’t plans, just how we fuel our bodies in the best way possible (for physical AND mental health!).
Love you girl!
