Born & raised in Kansas. Married to a Moroccan and now live in Michigan. Love trying new recipes, hiking, photography. Enjoy reading about Islam, sociology/class/race, and cookbooks. Trying to learn Arabic to speak to my in-laws. Moroccan, Indian/Pakistani, Thai Ramadan & Eid Bastilla (sweet & spicy Moroccan chicken and almonds in a phyllo dough crust) Made and baked mango cake while talking on the phone (long conversation, let me tell you!). Took cake out of the oven and thought it looked dry. Then saw the bowl of diced mangoes on the counter.
