Introduction of Spices!

After the dinner last night, I went out with a bunch of Americans and one french person for a drink at a bar. After wandering around the city in a very large group (10 people) and talking very loudly (we are American) we finally settled on a place to sit and stay because they had enough chairs. I had a lovely glass of red wine, although it was much sweeter than I had expected it to be. None the less it was good, and cheap and from France!! Anyway so I made my first lunch for Raphaelle and a friend of hers. She was cooking, and looked a little lost. I asked if she needed help, and I started taking over the meal. We started with a tomato salad. Then we had couscous that had curry, lemon juice and a bit of red wine vinegar. Then chicken cut into pieces and cooked with some lemon juice. Then i made a wonderful curry sauce my first sauteing shallots and garlic in olive oil. added curry paste, milk and creme fraiche to thicken it. It was delicious, but I fear it might have been too spicy for my host sister. Then for dinner we're having premade lasagna - we'll see how it is. My host mom left it for us, and I feel it would be rude to not eat it.
Peace, Love and Spiceyness
