Call for recipes!

Dear flist,

As part of my 101 Things in 1001 Days project, I am trying to broaden my cooking horizons. So for the next three months, the plan is to cook a "new" and "exotic" dish every week.

I could always go hunt down recipes on the internet, but I find that my experience is always best when I get recommendations from my friends.

So, dear flist, do you have any fun/new/exciting recipes that I could try? My regular culinary experience is North American/French Canadian, with occasional forays into cooking with curry and various stir-fries. What can you suggest that will make me break out of my culinary rut? (Dish names are good, and bonus points if you can provide the actual recipe)

I am not vegetarian and I can indeed get tortillas! Sounds very exciting! :D

Hooray!

Here's a recipe:

If you cannot buy prepared green salsa there, let me know, I'll find a different recipe -- it gets harder if you cannot use prepped sauce :) Or, I could send you a jar.

Hee! Reminds me of going to see my friend Anne in Toronto many years ago, she wanted some file gumbo, which is basically ground up sassafras leaves, and looks like a green leafy powder. I was pretty nervous bringing that thru customs :)

You know, I don't even know if I can. I will take a look around and let you know.

What's the alternative if I can't find any?

Making it yourself, which is WAY too much trouble :)

Let me know, I'll send you some. Customs be damned!

Woo! And it's not even my birthday! I'll keep you apprised. :)
