I’m a good cook. I’ve cooked most of my life, and I have great role models in my family who are wonderful cooks! I’ve never been interested in sites like Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, etc., because I know how to cook, know how to put together recipes, and have generally kept my family well fed. Almost on a lark I decided to check to see if there were “Blue Apron” type of sites in Italy. I was quite surprised to find out there are! Actually, I only found two.

Betty wasn’t vaccinated

Italian Living Posted on March 30, 2017 by DanitaSeptember 16, 2017

In the great “downsizing” of 2015, when we sold our house and began our “empty nester” years, I whittled away at my book collection. Many books were given away or sold. I kept only those that I felt a strong … Continue reading →

Almost Authentic Hot Dogs

Italian Living Posted on December 2, 2016 by DanitaFebruary 17, 2018

If you have ever traveled outside of your home country (or in many cases, outside of your home region), you know that “ethnic” foods morph into versions that are different.  Sometimes better, sometimes worse, sometimes just different.  I give you Exhibit A for different.

Flash from the past

Italian Living Posted on November 30, 2016 by DanitaFebruary 17, 2018

Joe needed a haircut, so today he went into the same barber shop that his father dragged him into as a child in 1966!  Different barber though 🙂 He seemed more eager this time!

What’s with the dirt?!?

Italian Living Posted on November 29, 2016 by DanitaOctober 7, 2017

Making cornbread without buttermilk

Italian Living Posted on November 20, 2016 by DanitaDecember 4, 2016
