Love is a many splendored thing
January 5th, 2007
It must be true, because Sognatrice of Bleeding Espresso loves her can opener! She even photographed it hugging a can of tomatoes.
In other Friday news , I have discovered the perfect breakfast in Italy for at least non-Italians. Cheese and mostarda. The Coop here in Umbria has a pecorino fresco on sale and whern I tried it, it was delicious. It reminded me of fruit, so I dug out the peach mostarda I made last fall and tried it. Wow! Mostarda is a sweet and spicy sort of pickle thing. My peach mostarda is a rough jam made with hot peppers, peperoncini, and has a sideswipe of balsamic vinegar. The balsamico is not mixed in because it would have made it an ugly color.
