And believe it or not I got out a cook book I bought quite a while back on Crock Pot recipes and guess what it had listed as a recipe in that book?!? Ok give up, I'll tell ya' it was a recipe for LAMB TAGINE!!! That one went right past me unnoticed when I frist purchased the book, and why? Because I was not familiar with Moroccan cooking at the time and Tagine meant nothing to me what so ever! I feel so much smarter these days! LOL

Okay- any day now I'll be gettin' a trio of cookbooks that my sister ordered for me for my upcoming birthday: 1.) Brook's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: "Where Flavor Was Born: Recipes & Culinary Travels Along the Indian Ocean Spice Route" by Andreas Viestad and Mette Randem, and two l'il volumes highly favored by Cathy... 2.) "Basket of Berries" by Val Archer, and 3.) "Basket of Apples" also by Val Archer.

Also- by chance have you all seen that one of our FAV authors has a new book coming out in October? Link below...

Amazon.com: Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: Fabulous Flavor from Simple Ingredients: Ina Garten: Books
