Music and food are essentials in my opinion. So, I sing and cook, play guitar and eat. I love to experiment with spices; my current obsession is Indian food. I just can't seem to get enough curry these days! No Thanksgiving turkey for us! In honor of our Pacific coastal roots we started "Crab-Fest" several years ago after moving to northern Utah. Thanksgiving dinner is now all about the seafood, baby!! Mastering the art of making ghee (Indian clarified butter). I've had a few, but my stress-addled brain has mercifully obscured any clear memories of my culinary disasters.
