January 21, 2007

Delizioso! Scrumptious! I know I mentioned yesterday that the kitchen was closed this weekend. However, tomorrow begins another week and I needed to prepare my lunch for the week.

The Silver Spoon

January 21, 2007

It must have been over a year ago when I first came upon The Silver Spoon, “the bible of authentic Italian cooking”. The book was enormous and tempting.

January 19, 2007

Buona idea! Good idea! I am not a breakfast eater – never have been. While I enjoy breakfast foods, I find it difficult to eat before mid-morning. Now, I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I have tried…. yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, and those only works in intervals. I definitely cannot […]
