Kimchi

Hi everybody, you can see that i had Kimchi for dinner, but i can't say that i made it , because a friend of mine gave it to me to taste, i was kind of scared at the beginning , because of the intense smell, but then i gave my self some courage and i had it with the rice, and i have to say that it was not bad, a little spicy but not bad.So i need to say that i will be safe in Korea if we ever went... but my kids... lol ,that will be fun to see...., so this is the latest , well tonight i will have Ceci in brodo... or with pasta , i need to see, but it is a good vegetarian dish for my friends that are vegetarians...lol, ciao belli have a nice day and i will see you sooner or later, Dolly...

Veggies

Rachel came over for diner and I know ,that she doesn't eat pasta that much, since she is on a diet, to louse what , I don't know......So i had some Saccottini with spinach and bacon filling and some cream sauce , then on the side i made chicken with mushrooms, asparagus just boiled with some salt and then i drained them and put some olive oil and fresh pepper on them, to finish we had some broccoli cauliflower gratin... i think everything was good, we didn't have many left overs.. that's a good sign , right.....?

Thanks Giving dinner

We went to Italy for Thanks Giving, to visit my mom.... so we had thanksgiving dinner at her house, she cooked the turkey and i did all the side dishes, starting with : Corn, Cranberry, Mash potato, corn bread, regular bread, the gravy that i didn't take a picture and stuffing that was in the Bird, well the Turkey is the hit. very good and not dry, , we had to give the kids different , they did not want the turkey, so we had to give them prosciutto crudo di San Daniele. {Who was stationed in Italy "Aviano" will know what I am talking about....}

So what can i say , I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, because we did, Ciao everyone , i hope you all are OK and have good Xmas preparations...your friend Dolly the Italian want to be cook....lol

Lasagna & veggies

OK today I have friends over for dinner so i made lasagna and some vegetables .

The veggies that I had where green beans boiled and then i put some garlic , olive oil vinegar and salt, basically like a salad Italian stile, the eggplants i cut them in little pieces and then fried them in some olive oil and garlic, added some concentrated broth and that's all when they where soft they where ready.... some leeks always in the pan with some olive oil and broth that is it, really easy, but you need to like that type of veggie... and last but not least the lasagna, well that will be to long to tell how i made it but if you want the recipe just ask and you will be told..

Buon Appetito from your Italian friend Dolly
