September 2015 has been one wonderful experience for us in the Blogging Marathon group. If you are landing here for the first time, then let me take a moment to explain that we in the Blogging Marathon, do a monthly and a biyearly full month Marathon.
All the BM editions are based on themes. Even the Mega BMs have a theme going on.
We have been doing the Mega Blogging Marathon since April 2013,
April 2013 was weekly themes
September 2013 was ABC Cooking
April 2014 was Indian Food Odyssey

So this September we had a Buffet On Table
