it was a cold foggy day at the beach, perfect for tuscan soup, warmed with cinnamon and caramelized onions...

Well, obviously I must read this!!! I'll follow your instructions and start with her first book!
ReplyDeleteSome days ago you posted about books you were reading, had read, etc. From that I ordered 1000 days in Venice. It arrived. It's actually been on my reading list for years. I'm a lazy reader! I started the reading the book and so far am just to the part where she is fixing to move. But I love the romance of it already. Can't wait to get into her more descriptive dialog about her life with Fernando and the food!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to order A Thousand Days in Venice now. I am inspired. I used to love your Food for thought blog that mixed reading and food. I thought it so original and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI had let this slip my mind. (Why do the good things always slip?) But I'm going to order A Thousand Days in Venice right now.
ReplyDeleteSOLD! I have to start at the beginning! I popped over the Amazon to peak at her books, we're heading for a week out of town mid month so I'll have lots of reading time. So miss your marriage of books and food, it was always delicious!
