As the saying goes, every day's a school day - watching a cooking show on T.V. today, host Ming Tsai had a guest chef, think of Indian / Pakistan heritage with a strong English accent on. They were making chicken tikka, hosts dish, and chicken tikka marsala , guest's dish. Ming says to him that's Indian, right? Guest says no chicken tikka is, chicken tikka marsala was created in Glasgow... //perfect !

There’s a few claims as to its origin a Morag - but if you go into the Shish in Park Row, there’s a big notice proclaiming “Home of the Tikka Masala”

(From Wiki) This version recounts how a Pakistani chef, Ali Ahmed Aslam, proprietor of the Shish Mahal restaurant in the west end of Glasgow, invented chicken tikka masala by improvising a sauce made from yogurt, cream, and spices. In 2013, his son Asif Ali told the story of its invention in 1971 to the BBC's Hairy Bikers TV cookery programme.

I can remember reading somewhere chicken tikka masala was invented because the British love Tomato sauce.

Morag, I've been meaning to ask you about Coyotes, are there any near you in Southern Cali-forn-aye-a? Been reading a novel that mentions them on the outskirts of LA. :think:

There are, Hughie, mostly keep to themselves, though one was seen walking in a main street. As we move more and more into their territories, ie the foothills here, they have to move further. :(

Does anyone have a remedy for removing the white stains on glasses when they come out of the dishwasher? I tried bleach but doesn't work.
