Morocco, tajine and tajine

If you've ever been in Morocco you had to know the tajine. It's a kind of casserole-like food, and the dish in which the food you could cook. I wanted to buy there - in Marrakesh - the dish but so I had to carry that for a week more to bring it home with me later. So unfortunately I couldn't buy the tajine, but acquired a morroccan cookbook with tajine-recipes.

At home I tried to make tajine (the food) without a tajine (the dish). I had to use a large earthenware pot but I succeeded. The meal was very good, but not so good as in Morrocco. But later I cooked it regularly and I found the food was getting better. I think now that is why I forgot the original taste of the food. But if you want a slice of Morocco sometimes you can make tajine with your own pots and materials. The essence is the memory of the real tajine, the real Marrakesh, the real Morocco.

Tomorrow I'll share my favourite tajine-recipe if you interested in it.

I asked help...

The last week I found a site, a webshop in England, Great Britain which sell goods from Morocco, too. Some items are made of cactus silk. So I wrote them an email asking help to sell our silk. My email address is my name.

I thought that they'll answer me politely to inform me why is not possible. Because one of them is an italian woman and italians have warm heart, and the others english who ar polite. 

But I received an answer which is not warm or polite, and they did not sign it if I see this well:
 
Sorry we are not resellers for threads
Good luck
AM
Crafts of the world online
Ps. in future learn to sign your emails
 
Sometimes I think the people are warm and polite only if they want your money. So I decided not to ask help anymore. 

But if you know somebody who wants to sell cactus silk threads online, please contact me.
