RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi. I am currently residing in Australia.. I have recently moved from Dallas,Tx. I do miss the States but I am getting used to life Down Under. My all time favorite cookbook is that of my mother's she has the most fantastic traditional Indian recipes... If I had a month off i'd probably sleep most of the time since sleep is what i lack.it's not that i'm bogged down with work and things to do...I just can't sleep. Once i get enuf of sleep i'd go explore places i've always wanted to go to...and learn their cuisine.
