Family illness and other issues have really taken their toll on me and I really cherish my online friends all the more.<br /><br />And I miss France.

Yours looks pretty good. It inspires me to make one next week-end.

One thing I do with chicken tagine recipes is to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces, instead of whatever the recipe calls for. I find that the thighs hold up to low and slow cooking, and always come out melt-in-your-mouth tender.Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)http://www.theperfectpantry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-46944895503992113702010-04-04T15:07:55.027-05:002010-04-04T15:07:55.027-05:00From your photos, your tagine turned out very nice...From your photos, your tagine turned out very nicely for a first try. It's easy once you get the hang of it, isn't it? And I love your addition of saffron - which I've used in holiday breads, but not in savory dishes. And I've only used my tagine the one time but you've inspired me to do it again. Especially with the return-to-winter weather we're having.<br />Happy Easter, Mimi!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269469384082089761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-90351012165656328652010-04-04T12:42:09.018-05:002010-04-04T12:42:09.018-05:00Artist, I just took a peak at your site!

I knew it to be expensive because of where it grows and how it is harvested, and I was surprised to see it in my local grocery store the other day. I became inspired to make something with it!

Saffron is one of those spices that I buy in small quantities because it is so expensive and so fragile. I usually use it in paella but your tangine is provocative. I am enjoying your new blog posts.
