Ames, thank you very much! Funny enough, I also came across that recipe yesterday...seems like it was posted a day or two after I gave up my search and sent my question here. I actually used that...
Oh wow, that brick grill looks fantastic. My husband and I have been contemplating building a wood-fired grill in our backyard and seeing this has really given me the inspiration to get it done. ...
OMG...it WAS Thomas Sweet!!! I forgot that it changed names 2 times after that, but the original was most definitely TS. Thanks so much for posting my question, this has been driving me crazy for ...
No, not like ricotta salata, that's much drier (and saltier), this to me, is like a more solid ricotta, one that you can slice into and very fresh and milky tasting.
Oh my, I LOVE this cheese! Though in our family, we only buy it just before Easter to use in our pies (just the Pizza Gaina). It's usually too hard to find the rest of the year anyway. And if an...
I make a trip to CT about 2x a month, and always pass that stop. It is very cool to see a farmer's market on the highway, but unfortunately that one never amounts to much. Right now, and for most...
Yes, Trattoria Anita is great! Tucked in a corner away from the Duomo, heading towards the Arno. There's a great lunch trattoria in a corner by a parking lot near the Mercato Centrale...only a me...
Ick. At least they could have a line of organic veggies, or maybe have all their profits going to fighting poverty and hunger, especially in the case of children. Otherwise, I'm sticking to local...
Wow, I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been any Italians representing yet! We usually have the big antipasti, lasagna, and artichokes that are at every holiday table, but the best part of an Ital...
I would love to hear some ideas for goat. My husband bought a package of goat stew meat, so I will need to cook that up sometime! The first time I made it, I made a tagine-like stew, and everyone...
Ah, thanks, I will take a better look at the site. When I first saw the site, my husband was in charge of the computer, and he's too impatient to search through a site for answers.
Hey thanks for the help with my question! We were able to check out the ACA website, but it seems to be most helpful for someone wanting to buy a steer. I'll have to talk to the farmers about get...
We just bought some lardo made by Formaggio in Boston. I really enjoyed it, my husband was not so into it. I think he will like it on pizza better. Surprisingly, our 2-year old really enjoyed it...
This makes an incredible, simple soup. Cook the broccoli in chicken stock till it's almost soft, then blend it all up. I found this recipe in a cookbook I bought in Rome, and it did not come out ...
My experience with fresh pasta is that if you dry it out before you store it, it lasts a whole lot longer. I'm not actually sure of the shelf life, but I always dry mine and it stays good for a we...
When I was living in Italy, my roommate used to use sage to clean his teeth. He swore that rubbing the sage against your teeth after brushing helped to remove any plaque left behind. When I actua...
Her stuff is great...I saw it last summer at the market in South Boston, and I'm so disappointed that I didn't get anything while I had the chance. Thanks for the links!

Possibly a type of "Osse di Morti"....Bones of the Dead cookies? They are traditionally made for All Saints' Day in Italy:
My kids will love this! Thank you for posting, sounds like a good stop on our way to visit family this weekend :).
