Salutations, I am new here.Anybody here from So. Cal? I have spent quite a few days reading useful info here. Husband was surprised too as to the huge # of CHs. He says 'hi'. Would like to be part of this group and learn. My husband's huge extended fly has a potluck every few weeks, unfortunately out of about 35-50 or so of the attendees only 2-4 people can stomach my curries and other Malaysian dishes which are hardly spicy at all (yeah, right!!!). My boys, 8 and 4 can consume my cooking with a little help from the plain yogurt bucket, of course. I hope there are hotlucks around in So. Cal. That is all and thank you.
