Was I happy today with this find?? You betcha! And I'm keeping it for myself. I'm not a good hat person but this one is made for a woman. It is authentic and has a nice elongated visor. I got it down from the regular price and that made it extra *special*! Yes-sir Chris...SPECIAL!

Onomastico
My neighbor, Valentino came to the door this morning bearing these ricotta filled ravioli. Today is Onomastico* for those named Valentino/a. Since there is no saint bearing the name Sharon, Valentino has shared his name with me for the last fifteen or so years. For today and every Feb 14th, I am named Valentina!

Limoncello ????
No and no again! Limoncello is so last year. At least that is what I read in an Italian magazine article. So you ask...what is the treat for 2008?? Campari granite. I read this with a big smile as I love Campari. I gave it a try and it was refreshing and tasty. I'm gonna say...better than Limoncello! I'll be testing a recipe, but this was pretty good for just putting ingredients together.
Here is how I made this.
4 0z Campari
2/3 cup of sugar
enough frizzy water to make 2 cups solution.
Juice of one very juicy orange..
Mix this all together and place in a plastic bottle and place in your freezer. After a half hour shake and continue to shake every half hour till it forms slushy ice. Andy ate most of it with biscotti.
I already had Limoncello brewing before I read this article. It was ready to be bottled today. It made almost 3 liters.

Happy New Year
To all my family and friends, Buon Anno 2008! May happiness and good health be in the days ahead for all mankind.
I will be absent for awhile on this Blog page. One of the best side effect of blogging this past year is meeting and posting with fellow bloggers. It has been a great experience.
