My Home: Let's Chat in the Kitchen
April 02, 2014
Care for a wee square of gooey butter cake?
Croissant?
Homemade amaretto and sparkling wine?
There is still no stopping me from baking even though
I have eliminated almost all gluten from my diet.
I baked a g-free white bread this week that is
actually edible...SCORE!
Also new to my kitchen this week:
From Mom to Daughter:
The Quick Tips of Italian Cooking
by Maria Elena Congedo
(Congedo, 2014)
This is my kind of cookbook!
Each recipe's list of ingredients is short,
and these are simple, authentic Italian dishes
to enjoy any night of the week.
Meatloaf in a crust? Really? Really.
Nuggets of cheese wrapped in pancetta?
You betcha.
I found a linen fabric which may actually be sewn
into a window treatment for the window over the sink.
It has only taken me 7 years to find something I can live with.
Also new to the kitchen:
a new refrigerator and dishwasher...which
should put to rest any rumors that this is one of
those kitchens which doesn't get used.
Sweet Jesus, the marinara splatters and cream cheese
on...um...everything...prove otherwise.
What say you about nuggets of cheese
wrapped in pork fat?
Peace to you right where you are.

DeleteI say .. I want a bite! This sounds like a must-have in any kitchen. Fewer ingredients is best for most of us and who doesn't enjoy Italian food? :)
