foodiness

Skaterina wasnt always a foodie

it was in Rome when Caterina Cacciatore appeared full bloom in the kitchen

the little kitchen in the apartment on Via Olona

there she was : thumbing through the Joy of Cooking !

la Cucina da Via Olona was where Catarina learned to make bread

bc the actor didnt like the local bread for his cheese and olive sandwiches

she made mayonnaise too

they had a Braun juicer

palms turned orange from all the carrot juice

they had kefir grains

while Skaterina was becoming a foodie

the actor became a health nut

they ran in the Villa Ada every morning

cross country running with eye and voice exercises at the end

sitting on a bench under the beautiful crown pines of La piu bella citta !

(put a little accent on top of the a in "citta" / dont know how after all these years


after she mastered pane integrale (whole wheat bread) she turned to pies

after making love every (? really) afternoon during riposa Skaterina would get up

to make a pie

she made every pie in the Joy of Cooking

even the green tomato pie and the concord grape pie

she learned to make frittatas and how to make cipolline agro dolce

oh my

she bought a book called the Supper of the Lamb

by Robert Capon

he takes the reader through from the roast leg of lamb all the possibilitease up to

and including making something kinda like bouillion / thick stuff to use for

flavorings

Skaterina is not talking today

she is considers to forget about the floe

and go to hell in a handbasket instead
