Any pastries to go with my ? Oooh, those look lovely!! (couldn't resist, mate!)

I'm still a bit new here myself & just thought I'd pop in on a few of the recent arrivals. You know, say 'hello', 'welcome aboard', all that...maybe offer you a or a & some .

Feel free to drop by my space, you'll notice I do a bit of cooking, well I guess without the formal training it's pretty much dabbling - no matter how passable the results are? I never went into it as a career, unlike my brother, who was fortunate enough to get on at The Ritz-Carlton in Sydney when he was Down Under.

Interesting, a curry with ! I'd heard, of course, of Mexican Mole sauce, & even a chili recipe that used chocolate. The spaghetti is a pretty logical cross-cultural/fusion thing...then again, I suppose the is too, hmm?

Yes, I've had some nice results with fruit-type curries - sometimes using cloves and/or a cinnamon stick, left to steam awhile. Particularly one made using a mango-tangerine juice blend. Also a few different juice blends containing banana, which of course really tames the chili's bite!
