Last year I posted on “Grispelle” and la Grispellissima festival that is held December 8th in Feroleto Antico, where my family is from in Calabria but I didn’t include a recipe… so here it is.

I’ve been saving this fantastic photo for the holidays…. the photo was submitted by Julie at Julie Richey Mosaics. Julie took this photo in Florence while living and studying there. Fantastic Photo Julie and thanks for sharing!
So I managed to wipe out my entire hard drive last week… to add insult to injury, I have a back-up drive but never got around to hooking it up. All my photos (that I didn’t upload to snapfish) including some of the “fantastic photos” I had yet to post (sorry) and much much more.

I wanted to post while I was there but between family, friends and eating there was little time… not to mention my lack of Internet access. Anyway it rained a lot but my cousin Alessandro and I took advantage of the few sunny [...]

Now that Thanksgiving is over and December has arrived, Italians go into overdrive in the kitchen. There are so many wonderful dishes, recipes, specialties and customs that come along with the holidays, which for me has always been a wonderful time of year. Christmas Eve in particular is one of my [...] |
