He said it was not the Henry Hill recipe. I will give it to you this weekend. I'm not suppose to be this full on a weekday and I had wine. I'm going to be a fat drunk!

No, I peel the stems of broccoli and cauliflower stems and use them for nibbles while we enjoy our evening respite of beer and martini. Jerusalem artichokes are small oblong orbes colored beige with tiny brown pinckles. I’ve never grown any. They are usually in the produce section of your supermarket.

I know, newhouse. Roomey and I snack on a lot of raw green goodies. Asparagus, I must buy 2# at a time, because I will go through a pound before I get home, it’s a 35 mile drive. I especially enjoy the white asparagus when HEB has them.

What kind of bread will you make? I think I’ll begin making dough again. In Germany, I thoroughly enjoyed going to the bakery in the early a.m. and buying their wonderful fresh baked rolls. I’d try and buy one of each flavor.

At my Mom’s table we pronounced it “Monigut” , Monicotti is a single piece, Monicotte is plural- in University Italian!


LOL! "monigut" is Sicilian dialect, with which we entertain ourselves around our table as well:

Cappicola = gabbaGOO
Proscuitto = prishOOT
Basilico (basil) = bazilliGOT

A single is a manicotto, like a single raviolo or gnoccho, but no Americans use these forms or recognize that the "i" ending in Italian is already a plural -- the Italian-American dialect of pluralizing plurals is a work of art! "Yo, doll, we're having crabs and spaghettis on Sunday!"

But really, for the benefit of others reading who may not understand the joke, "monicotti" is not the proper spelling -- it's "manicotti." Mani = hand, cotti = cooked (plural - singular is "cotto").

A similar word is biscotti -- bis = twice, and cotti = cooked. Biscotti dough is baked like cookie dough and then toasted to make them dry.

Yes, that is most helpful.

I tend to like orange & red things in my soups; squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, red peppers. I had a great soup today at a local coffeehouse. The broth had just a touch of "sweet" to it, probably from the sweet potatoes or maybe they added something. $2.99/cup and heavenly.

Someday you'll have to teach me proper omelet technique. Mine always end up a mess. I like fresh spinach and would love to know how to make a decent omelet or frittata with spinach, maybe some onions and peppers and tomatoes. I inevitably end up scraping it out of the pan onto my plate in a mound of scrambled...............mess.
