A Year Later – Full Circle

A year ago I sat in front of my computer and pressed “publish”.  A few hours before this my family had dined on the lasagna  I made with a ragu sauce and fresh pasta.  This recipe was my very first blog post and I was leaving a week later to go on a three week [...]

“Please please don’t do it”  My husband pleaded. “Why not?  I’m a big fan!”  I said.

I remember when I was scheduled to have my First Communion – a few weeks before we had to prepare by going to our first confession.  For those who don’t know what this means, basically, you enter a little booth,  divided by a wall – one side sits a priest and one the other end [...]

Late last year I found myself alone in Melbourne’s most famous Spanish restaurant, Movida.  I was sitting at the bar with eight (yes, EIGHT) dishes in front of me.   I was in Melbourne for three days doing a baking course and had asked my classmates for dinner recommendations.  The overwhelming response was to try Movida [...]
