Hello!!! See? I swear I’m alive. I’ve been slightly bogged down since the new year… Birthday, birthday, sick, sick, sick, school, and some other crap thrown in there. Long story, but we’re finally back on track now (I think!). I’m full-time this semester with 5 classes (because apparently that was an AWESOME idea), so it’s [...]

Well hello again! It has been quite the whirlwind of a week here in PA as we prepared (and overprepared) for the holiday. I have spent most of the week as, you guessed it, a cooking slut.

Even though I had read the book previously, I decided to re-read it, or at least certain parts I had forgotten. I was re-reading one of my favorite parts (the “Mitch” era) when I happened upon Giulia’s recipe for mozzarella en carozza, or “Italian Grilled Cheese for Teenage WASPs.” Mozzarella en carozza literally means ‘mozzarella [...]

Well, here we go! I have to say, I’m 100% hooked on this book – and the author. From the first of her recipes (a plum tomato sauce that reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe) I was definitely hooked. I see many of my own qualities in her – mainly her nurturing and [...]
