Cook the Book: 'The Mozza Cookbook'

I had a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Marchese of Milan. The 80 year old chef was the first Italian Chef to receive Three Michelin stars in Italy! Wonderful !!

Cook the Book: 'The Glorious Pasta of Italy'

My first wonderful taste of pasta was at the home of a friend whose Italian grandmother(who spoke no english) made pasta every night. That was about 50 years ago! I came from an Irish household where the spaghett sauce was heavy and dark, cooked for hours!! My friend's nonna's was light red ..and barely there and ah so wonderful. I cannot forget it! Since then I think Pino Luongo's five minute sauce with butter and red onion comes the closest!!

America's Next Great Restaurant: anyone still watching?

I watched about ten minutes...hated it! But then again...I find Bobby Flay to be such a phony...he has never had a good restaurant...and only slept his way into Food Network(dated some program type years back)...so I cannot take him seriously!!

What do you CLEAN with??

Several years ago I bought Earth Brite from QVC...they have since changed the name to Clear Brite....It is unbelievably great! I was a Bartenders Keep user...but this far surpasses...it not only cleans everything...but it also shines!! My all clad looks wonderful..the Le crueset is so clean...and I use it on my sink and stovetop....I have even taken off a couple of paint scrapes from my car.....I know I sound like a fanatic...but this products works so well...and it is not abrasive! Try it!
Now I am questioning....it is Qvc ..if not then HSN.....
