Still doesn't tell me where to get the spices. There are no Indian (or
Asian) shops around here. My local Publix (or Food Lion, which is a sort of
shabby store) doesn't have an extensive spice selection. I guess I'd have
to order the spices online. I don't think about curry enough to care. I
just thought it might be a nice birthday gift.
