la mia avventura italiana: September 2010
http://lamiaavventuraitaliana.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
La mia avventura italiana. Friday, September 10, 2010. My favorite reading spot. I have been coming here lately in the afternoons to do either of those things. I usually go with the intention of reading, but easily get distracted by the olive trees and the laughter of bambini. Thursday, September 9, 2010. Lots of fun things to look forward to. Here's what we have coming up: (0r at least all of the things we found that we would like to do). Alghero, Sardegna- September 17-20. Barcolana Regatta, Trieste.

la mia avventura italiana: December 2009
http://lamiaavventuraitaliana.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
La mia avventura italiana. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Sushi lessons in Italy. The next week, as part of a farewell dinner for everyone leaving Italy, she showed me how to make sushi, and I showed her my tiramisu. I was very excited to make sushi and can't wait to try it again! All of the ingredients ready to go. Honoka showing me the first one. My turn to try one. First the rice. Then the filling. In this case, cucumber and tuna. Then roll it up. A finished sushi roll! The finished products. YUM! In fro...

la mia avventura italiana: Figs are delicious!
http://lamiaavventuraitaliana.blogspot.com/2010/09/figs-are-delicious.html
La mia avventura italiana. Sunday, September 5, 2010. Figs are one of my favorite fruits. This is something that I have discovered only in the last few years. When I was working at Gratzi in Ann Arbor, we had a pizza one week on the menu that had fresh figs, ricotta, walnuts and honey. After having that pizza, I have been hooked on figs. September 6, 2010 at 10:18 AM. Come to my fig harvesting party! Its the 18th of September! Its in Los Angeles, though. You will be missed. :(. Sorbetto ai Frutti di Bosco.

la mia avventura italiana: A day at the beach
http://lamiaavventuraitaliana.blogspot.com/2010/08/day-at-beach.html
La mia avventura italiana. Friday, August 27, 2010. A day at the beach. I have been wanting to go to the beach for quite awhile. I have been talking about it and planning on going, but just hadn't actually gone yet. Today, I set my alarm to get up early, got on an early train to Viareggio, and spent the day at the beach. At the beach you can buy knock-off designer bags, clothing, shoes, food, jewelry, beach toys, and even massages. Yep, a nice Asian lady was walking around offering her masseuse servi...

Doof Backwards!: Beef Stroganoff
http://www.doofbackwards.com/2010/08/beef-stroganoff.html
Wednesday, August 18, 2010. This recipe is lacking the standard sour cream flavors, but it tastes just fine without it. If you have sour cream, you can add it in with the cream. Beef scraps (bones, fat, odd chunks of meat). 1 T whole black peppercorns. 2 T tomato paste. 1 bunch fresh parsley. 1 lb beef, cut into thin strips. 10 large Champignon mushrooms. 2 T unsalted butter. Brown the beef in a pot on medium-low heat with extra virgin olive oil, one onion (quartered), garlic and peppercorns. Mix in the ...

Doof Backwards!: Mozzarella Fritta
http://www.doofbackwards.com/2010/05/mozzarella-fritta.html
Sunday, May 2, 2010. I was revisiting my eggplant parmesan. Recipe last night so I had the flour/egg/breadcrumbs assembly line all laid out on the table when Becky had an ingenious idea - let's make some mozzarella sticks! 1 mozzarella ball, in 1/4" slices. 1 egg, beaten well. Dredge the mozzarella pieces through each of the coatings starting with flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Heat a pan with a generous amount of frying oil until the oil is hot. Season to taste and serve with marinara arrabiata.

Doof Backwards!: Marinara Arrabiata
http://www.doofbackwards.com/2010/05/marinara-arrabiata.html
Sunday, May 2, 2010. There are probably just as many marinara recipes out there as there are people in the world who have ever made the sauce. This is a very versatile (spicy) tomato sauce that goes well with pastas, chicken and seafood. Alternatively, use it as a dipping sauce with appetizers such as mozzarella fritta. 1 red onion, chopped. 4 cloves garlic, chopped. 3/4 c red wine. Handful fresh basil leaves, chopped. 1 T red pepper powder, or to taste. 1 jar crushed tomatoes. 1 jar tomato puree. Pictur...
