EVERY DEAD THING by John Connolly - Chapter 46, Page 413 (or it is in my copy, but that page # could vary), he states:
'On this muggy morning, it (the city) seemed to brood beneath the clouds, feeling the people as a passing infection which it would cleanse from itself with rain.'
How's that for prophetic!
OB Food: For those of you with a tagine, experiment with roasting meats in it, not just straight Moroccan foods. Whole Chickens are great, Chuck roasts and racks of lamb. Nice slow cook in the oven and it stays moist. If you have a pottery tagine it even will brown the chicken skin.
