Gujarati Vegetables With Lime And Cilantro!Ever since Paula Wolfert gave me a Clay Coyote Flameware skillet the other day, I've been jonesing to use it.

Beet It!Yesterday I was over the moon that I'd found a new South Asian Market here in Sonoma county. As I think I'd mentioned before we have only ONE Indian market in the entire county and they're not always the best stocked. It's the thing I do miss about Los Angeles.
