O … Oman

 

  Oman

Joan was the host.  She didn’t have much choice of countries as Oman is the only country starting with the letter O.

Muscat, Oman

Oman is an absolute monarchy under the control of Sultan Qaboos since 1970.  Its cuisine is a spicy blend of Persian, North African, Indian and Arab influences.

Only a few enthusiastic cooks were able to make our Omani day, but they enjoyed another tasty gathering.
