Having said that, the bread's dreadful . . . like the hockey puck you referenced. ** Just now settling in, planning a Christmas party, as this past year was consumed by repairs to the house. Renters made a mess -- the property manager said nothing as she wanted to sell them a house. Which she did do. Anyway, back to rolling along, thankfully. ** Wish we had a national moment of silence here -- so simple in concept but so deep in remembrance.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-87749709381109875192015-11-12T11:30:36.097+10:002015-11-12T11:30:36.097+10:00I have to tell you, this meal sounds delicious!

Oh, how I miss my bread, and how my family misses the way the house used to smell throughout the autumn, winter and spring. It's lovely reading your story about Italy, even though they don't make good bread. Your recipe sounds heavenly, and I bet if I use gf flour, it will turn out perfectly well. I may just have to try it.

The best pizzas, too, are fresh with just some tomato puree, basil and Parma ham sprinkled on top of the crispy base. I still dream of it. In Oz, pizzas tend to be top heavy and drowning in cheese. Never eat it! Real Italian food is nothing like the Oz version, but some dishes here are swoon worthy! :-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-2935483146456329642015-11-10T12:28:08.832+10:002015-11-10T12:28:08.832+10:00Thanks Sia.

My father-in-law had a restaurant and later catered events. Fabulous cook. And in that family bread is always served. <br />I've done the Basil cream sauce only I use chicken thighs instead :-) Hubs family tends toward southern Italian cuisine, I prefer northern but fell in love with some of the Sicilian dishes. <br /><br />Yes, I concur with your character. Good wine is priceless (and yes, you can keep the smelly cheese, altho I love cheese just not that particular type).<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-2112466941947812992015-11-10T12:21:43.945+10:002015-11-10T12:21:43.945+10:00I can't comment on Italian bread, I must have ...I can't comment on Italian bread, I must have eaten it but from my one brief visit to Italy I have vivid memories of the pasta!
