I liked it a LOT. I also like curries made of collie. Right now it is green beans a casa mia. Pounds and pounds are jumping off my 40" square bean plot!

It's the season here in Quebec and they are fat and sassy and cheap. Why didn't I roast this before? I've been missing out. My current favourite is roasted cauliflower.

The local pizzeria, however, grills Fiorentina over coals pulled from the oven, and I would let them do it. After 8 PM, in the sidewalk cafe, let them do the sweating! Hols in Umbria are just as memorable... It is far too hot now to cook outside, secondo me. The local pizzeria, however, grills Fiorentina over coals pulled from the oven, and I would let them do it.

I love meat or fish cooked out in the open. My favourite is probably a substantial, but tender, fiorentina steak. Wonderful! Brings back memories of last years hol down in Tuscany.

Are you sure that is in good taste? I cannot grow any root crops in summer without getting worms so they are fall/winter crops. My lamponi are just starting. I ate the first single berry yesterday! The first handful will become grappa alle lamponi because they aren't making it this year-- remember that cake soaked with it? Fagiolini are now splendid. Pomodori are starting to wander in.

My foods of the moment are plums, I\\\'m just about to take the girls to pick them. Figs, I can\\\'t wait for them to ripen and for supper tonight, thin slices of chicken flash fried with garlic, sage and marsala, maybe a rucola salad and some of those green beans. My latest craze however is ricotta, I am completely addicted to it at the moment and feel compelled to try every one I see. Have you tried it for dessert with granulated sugar and a squeeze of lemon? If you need any help eating the lamb, there\\\'s only four of us:) Next year I want to try and grown green beans here too but we have to clear the rubble first!

For a while it was so hot we were doing fresh cheese, salad, tomatoes or tortarelli and prosciutto for dinner just about every night - except when the guy who sells the roasted chickens comes into town, then we'd get one of them. I love the fresh vegetables though at this time of year and I seem to be starting on a shellfish kick - made zucchini and shrimp with penne pasta for lunch.
