PS: I didn't frost the cupcakes (my friend did a lousy job), but I did bake them from scratch.

Very nice. I always figured you to be a good cook.

Cooking at home...Angel Hair with a White Clam Sauce, Mozzerla Caprese, and garlic bread!

I'm Italian. It's genetic. Even my grandfather was a Mess Sargent in WWII.

Tonight I had home made spiced lentil and tomato soup finished with a spoonful of mango chutney, went out and sang at a local club and now I'm back home drinking tea while eating a pickled beetroot and cottage cheese sandwich on wholemeal bread - try it.

looks like homemade gnocchi and meatballs to me (using ground veal maybe?)...the meat's hidden by the parmesan so I'm guessing.

Terrific! I know for fact that Italians are very good chefs when I was in Italy last time! And they make good and healthy food!

Lol...Idk, the ones towards the bottom look like something else...

A Question for both Bella and Wendy:

Do you drink wine with meals? I can understand why some people like beer, and there are now enough 'real ale' producers to make this a more interesting substitute for wine than it might have been in the past. I also am led to understand this is as big in the US as it is in the UK.

Nevertheless, I am curious to know if you get good Italian wine in the US, from personal experience and from friends' comments the wine in Italy is superior to most of its exports; and there are, after all, some really fine California wines these days.

PPS -Wendy, if you did toast those seeds, why on earth did you store them in the fridge?!! What sort of pests are you scared of??!!
