I also make a good curry, but I'm not Indian. I also make a good Lasagne, but I'm not Italian. And thanks to MrK I also make a good chili, but I'm not Texican.
I'll spot you the curry but will take you on with the chili and the gumbo! Ironically I started a pot of chili.
You have to experience the weather in the south once in your life. We have had no snow all winter until today and we've already passed the amount they predicted and it suppose to keep showing until mid-night. There's thunder and lightning pretty freaky. Ten years ago the weekend of March 7th we were out in shorts and short shelves, flowers and trees blooming one week later everything was under a foot of snow.
