"Elegant-looking presentation-light, delicate taste, not heavy on the curry. appears to be more work than it actually is -i REALLY like that part. We especially enjoy basmati rice with it. Has become a STANDARD at our house. I got this years ago from the Moroccan "expert" on an old Compuserve food forum. I can almost guarantee enjoyment."

Originally from the Midwest, I have lived in New Orleans for decades--my waistline shows it! It's a fabulous foodie city, with new restaurants constantly opening. Travel is very important to me, and we do a lot of that. My photography "habit" and travel go together nicely, as does a growing passion for birding and its associated travel.
