Your step by step prep and cooking, and the ingredients list (10 lbs potatoes, 5c dried channa...) is awesome information. I wish I had been invited. I would have forgiven you the plates ;)<br Lindahttp://outofthegarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-38702633349609271992009-10-05T05:23:56.823-04:002009-10-05T05:23:56.823-04:00Belated wishes to your dd, Indo.
