Think On It

What’s in the works in the kitchen?

1. next trial for the risotto with vinegared pork

2. showy desserts that you can make trouble free (no cooking, almost!)

3. the modern ragù

4. using chestnuts in splendid foods– this takes longer than you think!

5. Italian bread– no worries

6. Good things to have around through the holidays

It’s moving slowly but forward. It’s hard to cook lots of things when you have little appetite, and that can make you a poor judge of what you made, too. I actually tried to make 1/2 cup of risotto the other day. It doesn’t work.

7. The autumn column on what they’re wearing in Italy is submitted, and is being formatted for publication.

If only I’d had a camera!

Yesterday while returning from getting a temporary tire affixed to the permanent car, the sluicing rain suddenly turned to big old fluffy snow. At noon time. This is really unusual here, snow in November and particularly snow in the middle of the day in November.

I was instantly grateful that it was midday Wednesday and not one in the morning last Saturday night.
