I went to the car boot sale, near my house and bought two sets of vintage (one set is art nouveau, can you believe it?) and some lovely lace. I will be taking these to Italy, as in May, we are going to make a big move which will allow us to spend most of our time over there, though we will still have our house here! Sunny days, here I come! You'll be getting some lovely, ultra sunny posts from Heaven!<br />The birds are singing outside, Jane, so... I'll pour myself a glass of my ice cold limoncello and "inspect" the garden!<br /><br />I love it when you post poems! If you find any mistakes, Jane, blame it on my eyes: I HAVE LOST MY GLASSES, AGAIN!<br /><br />Ciao, bella booklady!<br /><br />ANNA<br />xxx<br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587268744568236515.post-31156138415563454102013-04-05T18:57:56.581-07:002013-04-05T18:57:56.581-07:00Hello Anna, What amazing biscuits.

E' vero... ho una ricetta per il curry, autentica, che mi fu data da un'amica indiana, tempo fa, e poi, sai, qui in Inghilterra, il Curry è il piatto nazionale. Vedo spesso a mangiarlo, con una mia amica... abbiamo tanti ristoranti indiani! Che buono! <br />Strano che mi abbia chiesto di postare la ricetta qui... in Italia ci sono tanti indiani, ora, e supermercati dove poter comprare le erbe e le spezie. Vedremo...<br />Allora... auguri per la tua nuova vita! La Cina è un ricordo ormai lontano?<br /><br />CIAO!<br /><br />ANNAAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587268744568236515.post-90046057646517506882013-04-04T08:55:45.453-07:002013-04-04T08:55:45.453-07:00Ciao cara Anna!

Yes, the cookies looked sweet!...Good morning, Gina! Yes, the cookies looked sweet! I always try to be creative with food and, whenever possible, original. With Italian food, there is a Classic Cuisine (and I am not talking cookies, now!) which you need to be familiar with, before you can experiment and produce your own creations. I believe that mind comes before body, so, things (or food, in this case) need to satisfy the eye and the mind first. The Eating process is the final one, when taste plays a big role. Food needs to look and taste good!<br /><br />CIAO!<br /><br />ANNA<br />xAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587268744568236515.post-72699406723535796132013-03-31T14:45:54.277-07:002013-03-31T14:45:54.277-07:00I loved all these delicious sweets!

It's a very old recipe and I just looked "Scarcelle" up on Instagram, to see all the different versions that people had baked!
