That's amore


Lucky me. My part-time maid, nursing-student daughter also has culinary skills. Last night, after several discussions of "what to have for dinner," she decided to make a grocery-store run to pick up some shrimp and asparagus.

When she returned, she got busy in the kitchen, cooking the asparagus, sauteing the shrimp in scampi sauce, and boiling some fettucini. A little olive oil here, a little fresh garlic there, and voila -- we had a delicious Saturday-night supper.

As we ate, we did something we normally don't do -- we watched television! (No, not a "judge" show!) But only days ago we finally got cable TV, and "Under the Tuscan Sun" was on one of the movie channels, so we ate our Italy-inspired pasta as we watched Italian scenes (including the gorgeous Amalfi Coast, ahhh), and it was, as they say, amore ...

So, thank you Hannah! You're the best!

Arrivederci ...
