New Flavors, New Places

This article In Marrakesh, notes the interest in Morrocco and the culinary travel trend. Africa is one continent I have yet to visit. This is a place that holds such fascination ever since I was a young girl and had to look up what a "striped djelleba" was...
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now
Then recently I saw the movie Casablanca again. I'd forgotten how funny, sharp, cutting the dialog is in much of the movie. And speaking of cutting words, Dick Cavett has a column now in the NYT whose recent installment is about the art of the insult. I'm starting a new semi-regular feature called "Bit o'Bile" over on my blog. C'mon over and see what it's about. There's a Bogey, Casablanca connection, of course.
In the meantime, enjoy some cous cous - it's great with Meyer Lemon Chicken.
