Ina Garten's Parmesan Chicken is one of my favorite things to make. With a little lemoney vinaigrette on arugula, and broccoli tonight.
In other news, i have a new toy in the kitchen. A very nice, Italian espresso machine, complete with a built-in grinder. I want to learn to speak Italian, just so i can talk to it. Right now all i can say to it is LA PAVONI! Should i call Giada DeLaurentis? Maybe she'd bring one of her hot lil number desserts?
thanks Catlow! It's our den of eating sin, our kitchen. I like the baked goods a lil too much...and i like color a lil too much too, ergo, projects for myself tend toward carnivals of color.
I learned about the possibility of ODing on espresso during a trip to the Northwest. Fritz and I were driving through the forests of the Olympic peninsula. Miles and miles away from everything, we'd see a shack the size of an outhouse by the side of the road with a sign hanging off it saying "Espresso."
hmmm...fill in the box? What a lot of pressure to sum oneself up. I'd say, I live in a box composed of several boxes, I fill in boxes like this one everyday, and in my professional life, try to think outside the box, mostly. Reach me at trotsky64@yahoo.com

Wow that chicken looks wonderful!
I'm loving your kitchen more and more each glimpse!
thanks Catlow! It's our den of eating sin, our kitchen. I like the baked goods a lil too much...and i like color a lil too much too, ergo, projects for myself tend toward carnivals of color.
and thanks, too, Udave. It is a yuuuummy recipe. We are both addicted to Barefoot Contessa. Her stuff really is easy.
Well, you might greet it in the morning with, "Buon giorno, machinettina mia cara!"
And if it breaks down, you can always revert to classic Italian-American, "eh, wassa matta you?"
I'm Italian-American--I can say these things.
LMAO Will! I'm now trying to channel hey mambo-era Rosemary Clooney to do eh, wassa matter you? datsa nice!!
Mister, like you to enjoy your new toy. Can people ODed with espresso? I am just a bit concerned^^

I said to him, "These people are ADDICTED!"
