I have a confession to make…. All the times I have raved about Pesto Rosso, and we love Pesto Rosso, it’s been a store-bought Pesto Rosso. Barilla to be exact. When I did the Pesto Rosso Pizza one of my readers asked if I could post the recipe for the Pesto Rosso. Hmmmm….. Pride dictates that I can’t just send her to the store for a jar. Curiosity (and a … Continue reading →
Ahhhh…. Paris in the spring. Conjures up rain-slicked streets, golden forsythias in full bloom, masses of bobbing tulips and cozy restaurants with warm, comforting food and hearty wine. Life’s a Feast is hosting the Monthly Mingle, April in Paris. With our continued rainy, damp weather I’m still cooking ‘winter’ food. The barbecue grill stays in the barn. Since I’d rather be in Paris, eating in a busy brasserie, I’ve been … Continue reading →
I've been tripping…. Down memory lane. I've been tagged in a, most interesting, meme by Chez Loulou… According to her: This particular meme was created when Katie at TripBase was looking back over her blog archives and realized that "not all blog posts are created equal."

Chickpea, Egg and Herb … Continue reading →

I thought about walking more and driving less; keeping the house at 66F (I wish it would get so warm) rather than 68F or 70F; and all the other … Continue reading →

It's been so long since I have seen any evidence of memes, that I was beginning to wonder if they had crept under the rug and died. Then I was tagged – not once, but twice in the space of a week for different versions of the same meme. Being the good sport that I am(cough, cough), I'll participate in both. Note that while I will happily answer the questions … Continue reading →
