I think you're right although I wouldn't go so far as to say that she doesn't feel what she's singing. I do agree that she's somewhat reserved in her performance.<br /><br />I'm glad you warmed to curry! They don't all have to be hot, though. Personally, I like my chili as an enhancer of the other spices, not the main taste.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-89099225372815727912010-06-28T10:31:05.233+01:002010-06-28T10:31:05.233+01:00this looks like a fabulous dish.

We love Indian food and cook it regularly, and chickpeas are the perfect food, as far as I'm concerned. <br /><br />Being terribly tardy about my blogging of late, I am more impressed than ever about your constancy.

Ah well, the island experiences are different though maybe my father acquired his taste for chile around the Mexicans who lived around us. That picture was amazing; wish it could transport itself to my dining table tonight. As for brilliant Norah Jones, she is not Ray Charles.Judith Mercadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739476600999112092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-84394262363625774782010-06-26T01:13:56.209+01:002010-06-26T01:13:56.209+01:00We both had food on our minds and posts.

I love that it uses both the seed and leaves of coriander, one of my favorites. <br /><br />I respectfully disagree on Norah Jones’s talent, but I much prefer the songs that are original to her. My daughter (another fan) and I saw her in concert in Maine. She’s fabulous live if you get the chance.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-21237604636042348982010-06-25T14:32:26.514+01:002010-06-25T14:32:26.514+01:00Picante without tomato!

Perhaps it's the Latin in you, wanting more corazon in each intonation. I hear you. Thanks for the recipe.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.com
