Christmas is coming, cold weather is here, Lorenzo has flu.
In Italian it rymhes.
Of course flu comes on saturday.
After tons of cuddles, cover me/ take the blanket off, many glasses of water he calmed down and I have some time to write this post about a classic side dish remade with a twist.
If this year I’m going to Ljubljana, last year I was in Munich; it wasn’t my first time there, Munich is quite popular place for Italians, but going there with my friend Elisabetta, a deep lover of Germany and Bavaria was a completely different thing.
I discovered lovely German place where to eat, I could wander around Viktualienmarkt, I could see any shop and any gourmet place around.
I never throw food away, if it happens is because what I’ve done is awful beyond any possibility to save it or eat it: it seldom occurs but it can happen.
Lately I’ve done some zucchini and fresh cheese patties taken from a magazine which, once baked, were slimy and smelled so bad I had to put everything in the trash can.
I want spend some words on all the recipes I’ve taken through the years from magazines, even high level magazines, which turned out epic fails.
I remember a chocolate and coffee cake good only for walls’ building.
Today I had my first approach with school homeworks, I’m worn out.
I screamed more than St. Hartman, before you can say something like how convenient could be a soft approach please consider my son is a lovely boy but he could eat Ms. Montessori whole, alive.
He’s not even remotely touched by any request made in a polite way; at the very start he’s very keen to his homeworks, he cares about doing them right and well, when he discovers homeworks are more than he expected the big drama starts.
The first thing I have to do, posting this recipe, is a disclaimer: this recipe comes from the magazine Jamie, Italian issue, it’s good and the soup turns out great BUT for me and all the Italians out there this is and always will be a tomato sauce to season a rich plate of pasta and not something you eat with a spoon.
I’m a mum to a 6 y.o. boy who drinks tomato sauce from the can, you must admit eating it with a spoon is an upgrade then I’ve tried this soup.
