To the home sick desi

I am looking for the sister who left a comment but i can't find it , blogger really sucks when you can't do that after you publish a comment. She told me she is getting through her home sickness and made the tagine dish but spiced it up. Post here again so i can find you blog please. It's nice when the lurking readers come out, 1yr is a long time and to stay so quiet. Do call again , i am waiting.
