Last but not least: INDIAN CUISINE!

After having tried so many different "cuisines" here in New York, we finally decided to buy the "essentials" (no kidding!) for preparing Indian dishes ourselves. Yeay!


Amazing...all kinds of spices, seeds, herbs, - and NAMES you have never heard before in your life! ;-)



Let's get started: Tonight, we want to try an Indian Fish Curry....

Thankgsgiving Weekend - again at Andrea and Andre's! Wonderful!

Thanksgiving Day - on the way to the Hudson Valley.
Stop at the Queens (Petting) Zoo










At our hosts - Andrea and Andre. Everybody is assisting Chef Andrea to prepare the Dinner. So much fun!





Andrea - working on the recipes

Two days away - and it looked like we came back from a two-month-cruise ;-)
