Comment on The easiest fudge ever. Let the holiday season begin! by Penelope

When I lived Massachusetts I liked when I was able to participate in a ‘Cookie Swap’ shortly before Christmas. Each person brought 3 or 4 dozen of one type of cookie, depending on the number of participants, & an empty container into which everyone selected a fair share of all the cookies. This way you had an interesting variety without all the hard work.

Patty,
I can’t wait to make these cookies. When I lived with my Zia Paola in Padova we used to have tea and digestive biscuits for breakfast. I can find digestive biscuits here in New York but they are so expensive! I’m going to try your recipe and let you know. Thanks for all the great recipes–keep them coming!

Comment on Corn and spelt cookies coated with chocolate by Ryan Propst

I recently had similiar cookies in Alba Italy minus the chocolate….they where made with a corn polenta from the local area and where wonderful. I got a vacuum packed bag of the polenta and brought back with me to try and make the cookies I had in Alba, They had a superb taste and texture, like a short bread.

Great muffins!!! I make muffins often for my girls and these are a wonderful addition to my muffin recipe collection. I added blueberries to them and used Kamut flour, which I’d never used and they worked out perfectly.
Healthy & yummy just what I like:)
Thank you!

Dear Patty,
On our 25th anniversary, my wife informed me that she cooked for 25 years, and that it was my turn to cook. Long story short, I’ve been cooking now for the past 34 years (been married for 58 years)
Ever since I subscribed to your email letter, I never cease to be amazed at the amount of good, different, and delicious information you give out. For that I thank you.
About today’s subject. The grilled pizza. —
I have a gas grill which I set at low with the lid closed. This gives me a temp of approximately 375 degrees F. I make my pizza about 12 inch rounds. I brush this pizza with extra virgin olive oil, and put it on the grill, turning it, not flipping it, once a minute so it will brown evenly for 3 minutes. Then while it is still on the grill, I brush the top with oil again, and flip it. (after a short while, it becomes easy to do this.) While it is still on the grill, I put the topping on. I mostly use crushed tomato with minced garlic , salt , pepper, oregano, and a little olive oil mixed in. I turn it every couple of minutes or so for 13 minutes. At this point, the bottom has browned nicely, I take it off the grill and sprinkle some grated Asiago cheese. ( my wife dearly loves Asiago) That is about it except that you have to be very careful because after the first piece, with a glass of merlot, you will have to have a second, and then even a third.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you.

Comment on A trip to Bolzano: a glimpse inside the Tyrolean cuisine by Marion

Very nice blog post! Speck, Goulash, canederli, strudel, zelten, but also polenta, which is not Tyrolean but a great dish to eat when visiting Bolzano in winter… I was there during the festive season last year and get back to Rome with a few more kilos, but it was really worth it. :)
