Spacca Napoli. Got it, I'm on my way! We've been searching high and low for Neopolitan pizza and keep getting that cracker crust which as a true New Yorker means sacrelidge! And pan style makes me full and bloated just looking at it.

Spanikopita and anything with tsatziki on it!
Dinner Tonight: Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Curry)
Thank you for posting this recipe! I happen to have an eggplant and wasn't feeling any inspiration as to what to do with it. I'm always looking for amped up recipes that allow me to healthy but not feel like I'm missing anything.

About: I've been collecting cookbooks and recipes for some 25 years now and can't think of a more fulfilling endeavor than to share my past and future cooking triumphs, big or small, with you. Now that my children are grown I have the time to really pursue my passion. I would love to go to culinary school someday but in the mean time I get to enjoy watching both of my sons pursue culinary careers---my youngest son starts at The Art Institute this spring and my oldest son is getting his training and money for school via the U.S. Army. I am being rewarded for time well spent in the kitchen with them. There is nothing better! So for now, I continue to come up with great recipes to make and share from my home kitchen. Some are fancy some are not but if it gets posted here it's the best I've found thus far. You will notice references made to 'Manly' throughout my blog posts---that's my husband Greg who is the biggest supporter and beneficiary of my cooking. 24 years and I still love to cook for him. Here's to many more years of filling his belly!
Favorite foods: Lobster, Prime steak (ribeye), anything with lots of cheese and/or butter, Ice cream, creme brulee, margaritas, champagne, burgers with a fried egg on top, Neopolitan pizza from New York, Nathan's hot dogs and NY bagels.
Last bite on earth: Broiled lobster dipped in melted butter with a glass of cold champagne.
Title: Piggy, Piggy Won't You Be My Valentine?
Piggy, Piggy all brown and pink
Oh how I long for you, just think!
Roasted, braised or as a link
Knowing your fate, you give a wink
For the ribs, the loin, the belly I pray
A love for these will always stay
Today I give my heart away
Rendered down, oh liquid love!
Undying, eternal from heaven above
Lovely piggy can't you see?
Ever more you're meant to be
Sweet and tender and all for me!
From chacrute, sausage and salumi too
Our love for you is true
Right here on my plate to be
Ever more is my reverie
Valentine to me please be
Even a swine is lovable you see
Ready and waiting, mine to be.
