Christmas 2004 and Nadia found the perfect present for Rob.
She searched the web high and low (not a trivial persuit for a technophobe) and found Tara the Red-Brindle Bullmastiff pup. She is 20 weeks old and we are just talking with the breeder to arrange transport to our home from Ballarat.
Here are some pics of our new family member…

This is such a great Italian accompaniment to so many things. Try it instead of mashed potato or just soft with a sauce (like you would pasta). A tomato sauce made with chorizo (spicy italian sausage) is just stunning.
You can also make it and set it in the fridge on an oiled tray. Then you cut it into shapes (I use triangles) and grill or BBQ it to go with just about any meat dish. Try flavouring it with a little chopped chilli (even out of a bottle) or some lightly fried herbs like rosemary. YUM!

This one is from Udine, Italy and comes courtesy of Gianni.
Serves 4 as an “easy second plate” (separate course)
Time – 50 mins
Wine – Riesling dell’Isonzo (or a good Aussie semillion blanc would be fine also)
Note – this is not a Weight Watchers’ receipe but is yummy!

This is just great to have in the pantry waiting for that time when unexpected friends drop in or you have just forgotten dessert. Serve over vanilla ice cream.
