I live in California, and am still in the Bay Area but also spend time in a home about 3 hours away in the country. I am ethnically western European, and my English genes love tea especially on a rainy day. I love the quiet ambience, the beautiful lake, and the birds in my country home which is not far from my birth town. We hope to be there more next year, and to garden if the drought permits. My husband is originally from Guatemala, and we love spicy food including Indian. I found nutritional information for moong dal on this site, and I decided to join. I also use nutritionaldata.self.com for helping with food diaries and recipes, but plan to add some recipes to this site.
