Tomato & Onion Focaccia

April 28, 2007

Frutto? Vendura?/ Fruit? Vegetable? One of the schools I work with has its library in the middle of the building, which serves as a major passageway for students between grade level pods.

Fra Diavolo

April 27, 2007

I have mentioned my friend, Sharon, in several posts. She is more than a fabulous girl. Her recommendations for good eats are top of the line, and she’s even venturing out with her sushi choices. But, notice the common theme….food. Sharon claims she is not a baker. In fact, she is adamant about being a […]

Cheesecake Cookie Cups

April 24, 2007

Torta al formaggio!/Cheesecake! My mom makes a killer cheesecake – not like any other cheesecake I have eaten. Light, airy, decadent. Someday, I will get that recipe from her and try it. She also made mini-cheesecakes that were particularly addictive – for they could be gobbled in two bits…one if you opened wide did gummed […]

Ciambelle all’ Anice

April 23, 2007

This month’s theme of Waiter There’s Something In My…, hosted by Spittoon Extra, is bread! I love bread. What Italian doesn’t? In fact, bread would be one of my “must-have” choices if I was to become stranded on a deserted island. No butter necessary. I was going to make a semolina bread, but then changed […]
