Harmony In Setif, Algeria

I had the great pleasure of vacationing in Paris for the New Year. It was so beautiful! No surprise there. I stayed with my husband’s cousin, who, of course, is Algerian. She was wonderful. Really, the best hostest ever! While staying with her, I discovered a whole Algerian community. Which totally blew me away. I didn’t realize there was such a large Algerian population in Paris. It was like AlgeriaLand. I had the pleasure of visiting some of her in-laws there. And they totally imported the Algerian style into thier homes and dress. Ahhh… but my visit made me miss all the wonderful amenities of a truley modern society. Such wonderful food, wonderful transportation system, find anything you like or need. So simple yet so far from Algerian life. Anyway, the photos above are from my trip. It truley was an amazing experience. Very old beautiful buildings everywhere. And I found the people very helpful.

So if you are looking to travel to Paris anytime soon, you can check on accomadations at this site. If you click on thier Paris Tourist Attractions, each attraction lists the accomodations closest to it. BIG TIP: If you plan your vacation just right, you’ll have a chance to take advantage of Paris’ free museum admission day, which is the first Sunday of each month. Have fun! And let me know about your excursion in lovely Paris! Chow!

I found this recipe today. It looks and sounds so yummy I just had to post it. Although, fresh ginger is hard to come by in Setif, and you never find anyone cooking with wine or wine in the house. I do wonder which city this recipe is from. But anyway, if you prepare this recipe, let me know how it turns out! My mouth is watering already.
