Think On This
You need to have used up, given away or disposed of a lot of pantry stuff soon. If it is too precious to dispose of, pack it away very well, with tape, staples and alarms, or freeze it at the very back of the freezer.
You will not need: pasta, wine, soft drinks (sodas), white rice, bread, potatoes, cornstarch (flour), flours in general, prepackaged-premade anything. I have saved enough potatoes to make the fattening dish I promised Palma.
You will continue to use whole grain things you may have, like brown rice, barley, farro (spelt) and a modicum of lentils and beans. I will be doing a big shopping shortly and will publish my list.
During the course of the blog’s diet, I will be posting loads of non-food things. I am more than a cook, you are more than an eater, we are in the midst of many miraculous things.
I am busily planning a first-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy for six American ladies who are the descendants of my dear friend Jo. I am working on the plans and details for this year’s cookery school. I am putting together a fashion project besides the usual column. I am angling for a video editing project I am dying to do. Life can be as full as you choose it to be . I like mine brimming.
What are you doing? I am a vampire for ideas!
