My sister-in-law lives there. We've been to see her once. And started immediately planning for the next visit. Totally incredible place.

YUM!<br /><br />I would have thought the parsley to be too strong of a flavor? I would do this dish with pancetta.<br /><br />Geez, La Diva had company over last night and is feeling a bit, er, "delicate" and I can't tell you how good your pasta would go down right about now!!<br /><br />I can't believe that Sham never cooks with leeks?

It's not one of those things I find myself trying to incorporate more into my cooking like say greens or legumes.

I think you need the ham (or bacon) in there to go with the egg/leek combination. Could you taste the nutmeg in there because I wouldn't have come up with that flavor pairing with the leeks? <br /><br />I like the spaghetti tongs in the bowl. We have a similar set only in stainless steel. When we use them, the boys and I are always doing our best Bruce Lee impersonations with them. The pudge was almost killed once.<br /><br />Nice job and thanks for doing the judging yet again.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-57510776814917538822010-01-06T06:38:10.811-08:002010-01-06T06:38:10.811-08:00Magnifico!
