When I was home last trip, went to the the Savory Spice Shop in Bend, Oregon and found some treasures I could not live without. A couple of new kinds if chili’s I had not used before, dried dill which I cannot get and some pink salt, not preserve meats with. Not Pink Himalayan salt,…
Simply Divina- Fagioli all’Uccelletto
Fagioli all’uccelletto are Tuscan comfort food for me. Since I got home from my teaching tour in the states, the weather has been windy, rainy and perfect for staying in the house and being sick! I seemed to have picked up Bronchitis on the flight home and it knocked me out. I am just getting…
