Fettucini Alfredo. I've made extra so I can take it to work. Yum.

YUMMY! Do you make from a recipe or is it redi-made? I love it especially with spinach and chicken in it. The Olive Garden used to have it and it was called Chicken Florantine. my favourite!!

I make it from scratch. Jon likes it but I tend to make it too creamy sometimes.

Ashley!  And you said you couldn't cook?

i'm entertaining.....be prepared:

Giant shells stuffed with spinach, ricotta, motz, garlic, shallots and red pepper

Ziti with fresh sausages with motz, ricotta, basil, etc.  Both with my homemade pasta sauce

Motzarella salad with fresh buffalo motz from carniluccis

Cibatta garlic bread

profiteroles

snacks to begin with: my old favs of brie, olives and some bourisn on french bread and crackers.

Thanks Aimiloo!  What time is dinner?  I'm sure I have enough time to get on the train & get down to your house in London for the evening.

heheheh. well i am one short!!!!    DH is going to be in heaven after his biz trip tomorrow with leftovers....if there are any.  lol.  i can't wait to dig into those motz balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  they were about 2.25 each and the ones i usually get are 2.10 each.....so they are fresher, better and BIGGER"

Aimiloo,

Would you mind having a couple of servings delivered by courier to Hove? I have brie and olives, so you wouldn't have to supply those...

Suzanne

hehehe......one thing my nana gave me was my skill in italian cooking.....

now, the family italian 'pudgy' genes...THOSE i could live without!!!!!

I need to unlock my mom's lasagna recipe from her mind....

if i had my nana for one more day, i'd spend that day making fresh pasta with her and chatting.

i so miss her, and only wish we had one more day, one more hour together.  i remember being a kid and going to her house and seeing flour everywhere and the smells of the kitchen.  i used to bury my head in her lap when she had her apron still on and i'd be covered in vanilla and semolina...

*sigh*  good memories

And what to drink, Aimiloo?  Cocktails with the pre-dinner nibbles?  Wine with the mains?

(I can bring my martini pitcher & glasses if you want to borrow?)

Amy, I can come, Richard is still recovering and besides he hates pretty much everything you are having (Trust me I know, I married a crazy person!)

I think she's going to have to auction off the extra place at the table on Ebay!  Might be a nice little side income, heh?
