and the adventure begins
first - THE CYST IS GONE!!! on segundo's brain. i had my sonogram today and was totally prepared to not hear anything until next week. well, she confirmed that in fact it is gone and he is almost 2 pounds. YEAH!!! thank you for praying and thinking of us over the last four weeks. we feel god's goodness and his faithfulness to us in being surrounded by such a community.
second - john and i have purchased the "essentials of classic italian cooking." we tried out our first recipe last night. thanks to my read from julie & julia, i think i will follow suit. of course, we are not going to do every recipe and in fact we may only try a few, but i have to comment on the carbonara sauce (page 202) john made last night. YUM! of course, it calls for real pancetta - which he did - and makes enough for six servings. we will be eating it for awhile. it was so tasty and called for nine ingredients....some being garlic, pepper, olive oil, and pasta. how simple could it be..... so tasty. of course this blog about my adventures in italian cooking may not go very far as i tend to find a few recipes that i really like and just repeat them over and over again. but, i am trying another one tonight - actually, i have made this before because of a tip from a fellow new yorker than has this cookbook... and she is a REAL foodie - john and i just fake it.
