Arte Culinaria

Found this link over here where Mr.Flea is featuring what may be the forerunner of the Italian meatball recipe.

The following confirms that my love of mussels is hard-coded.
Below is an antique Roman recipe. I can guess pretty much how each recipe evolved into the Italian recipes I know and love.

IN MITULIS (Sea Mussels)
(Apic. 9, 9)

Ingredients:
------------
1kg fresh sea mussels
100ml Liquamen
1 branch of leek, finely minced
1 tsp cumin
200ml Passum
1 tblsp minced Saturei
500ml white wine
ca. 500ml water

Instructions:
-------------
First water mussels, and clean them. Mix together Liquamen, wine,
water, Passum and spices. Boil the broth for about 20 minutes, then add
mussels. Boil additional 10 minutes. Serve.

Buon Appetito!

Home is where the hearth is

*sigh*... I'm going to miss my kitchen.

We had it renovated when we bought the place. I love it. Especially my gas range --that I'm taking with me. I am curious to see what my next one looks like.

Our house has been on the market 7 days today. It's clean, it's tidy, it's almost entirely uncluttered! I feel calm for the first time in a long time.

I think hanging around here is a great idea (though I do it alread, anyway!). Though I'm still going through SI withdrawl!

There's a lot of people out there who would be thrilled with your old baby things. Try contacting a local shelter for domestic violence victims, or a local homeless shelter. They often have women in desperate need of baby items. Your family and friends might not appreciate them, but a poor mother with nothing will think they are treasures!

“A philosopher once wrote you need three things to have a good life. One, a meaningful relationship, two, a decent job of work, and three, to make a difference. And it was always that third one that stressed me, to make a difference. And I realise that I do. Every day, we all do. It’s how we interact, with our fellow man.”
