With the coming of new year its time for some reflections and contemplating. So much has happened this year throughout the world and life gets more complicated as it always does with progress. My next recipe would reflect the unity and bonding of all of us who share this great earth together... may we all understand through our differences that we are all interlinked somehow. Its a fusion of west and east in particularly my time spent in Hawaii where pineapple is as common as curry over here.

Hope you guys enjoy this and Happy New Year and Peace to one and all!
