Ciao!-Guten Tag!

I am typing to you now on a German computer on German-style blogger.com. Ich spreche kein deutsche, so it's kind of slow going. The "z" and the "y" are switched on the keyboard and zou--I mean you have no idea how disruptive that is.

I never had time to post and say that I was leaving the country ... well, I did. I have just left Cinque Terre (Paradiso) and am now in Germany for a wedding. In a few days I will be back and I have many lovely pictures of Italian foodstuffs to post .... probably commencing Tuesday.

Tchüess!

Julieanne and I stayed in Cinque Terre as part of our honeymoon, all I have to say is PESTO!!!!!!!!!!! I love that fucking place, even the one town that's really small and you have to hike way up hill from the train station to get to it, we had the best gelato there

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...
