You must be so proud of him. On the tagine, I love the idea of adding quince. I am so in love with this fruit. A friend promised me some from her garden but we never managed to meet up for quite a bit so she ended up giving them away.

I don't think I was that focused at his age. All I wanted when I was in middle school was to become a doctor though I later changed my mind!<br /><br />BTW, the tagine looks perfect. I am sure it must have tasted excellent as well.

One thing I do notice is a huge difference between tagines cooked in a tagine on the stovetop, and those cooked in the oven. The tagine is designed to cook the food with a combination of bottom heat and steam, and in the oven, the all-around heat seems to evaporate more of the liquid.Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)http://www.theperfectpantry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-8535614591449978062011-11-09T13:34:51.044+01:002011-11-09T13:34:51.044+01:00That tagine looks marvelous (and the actual tagine...That tagine looks marvelous (and the actual tagine is so beautiful...
