As I mentioned below, we kicked off a long weekend together last Thursday, in the uber-romantic bar at Cafe Lurcat (twinkly chandeliers everywhere, pic from their website). No frites…

We’re just back from a family vacation in Italy, Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany (thus my writing absence, if you noticed, which you most likely did not, ha).

Here’s a lovely, simple summer’s “meal,” fresh and light and perfect for eating outside. Grilled bread. Yep, grilled bread, warm, crusty/chewy, a little garlicky/salty, ready to be topped with any number of tasties, or served floating in a bowl of simple soup. Or with nothing at all, of course, it’s that good. Buy a loaf…

MMMediterraean Burgers, baby! Recipe (and actual burger!) from my neighbor Lindsay – she was telling me about them at our November neighborhood get-together, at which time she said she’d be making them soon and would run a sample over.

The refined foods and alcohol present at every party wreak total havoc with my appetite. I was a hungry girl yesterday but I’m back to normal today.
