My aim today was to make a first course: choose a traditional recipe and make something new out of it. I decided to choose as starting point the most classic meat sauce, changing somthing on the way! First of all, the kind of meat: not veal nor pork, rabbit instead – white, light, Tuscan. Then, the cooking method: I decided to to use tomato as in the usual meat sauce. Finally, I cut rabbit with a sharp knife by hands, to have a rough and rustic sauce. My idea was to create a sauce similar for taste and look to a traditional meat dish we really appreciate in my family, pot roasted rabbit.

As regard me, it’s spring, I know, I know…. weather forecast has said tomorrow it will snow,the Twelfth Night as yet to come, our cupbord is still full of Christmas products, but, as regards me, it’s spring. I just want to let you know that this is the way I live my life! After the First day of the year, I start feeling that the days are getting longer, the air gains a new smell. Maybe it’s all in my mind, but a new adventure has just begun, made up of new calendars and brand new diaries, so, for me, it’s spring or, at least, spring is coming with giant leaps.
Obviously I can’t post asparagus, wild strawberries and fresh herbs recipes, but rember, in a small corner of my heart spring is blooming. So, let’s come back for a while to winter earth and let me show you this recipe of simple cookies, found on last issue of Jamie Magazine together with another recipe that I’ll explain you in next days.

As the year fades, good resolutions, stock of situations, dreams for 2010 come to my mind. And every year I’m an Italian Bridget Jones, trying to cope with things to do and things not to do. Every year, the same things. Is it useless or not?! So, to be clear and transparent, I’ll let you know my good resolutions for this upcoming year. Just 5, so it will be easier to fulfill them!
- go to gym and swimming pool more often (where have I already heard it?!)
- follow a regular and healthy diet, favouring light and organic food (again, I think I have already read or written this somewhere)
- give myself up to my personal growth: I mean, intellectual and cultural growth, made up with good readings and acquaintances, not a body growth, as it would be in declared contrast with good resolution #2;
- travel, as much as I can!
- form functional relationship with responsible adult (as written in Bridget Jones’s Diary. Maybe this upcoming 2010 will gift me with a Mark Darcy, won’t it? it would be ok even with a pullover with reindeer, no problem at all!).

When on Friday I came back home from work, it all seemed a mess: I was tired, sad, nervous, unhappy abouit work, I wanted something new. Then, all at once, the snow. Soft and silent. And my nerves started to ease. Suddenly a movie came to my mind, Chocolat, and snow and wind became a chance for a change. Snow covers up everything, and when it will melt, new possibilities and opportunities will be revealed.
V’la l’bon vent, v’la l’joli vent
V’la l’bon vent m’amie m’appelle
V’la l’bon vent, v’la l’joli vent
V’la l’bon vent m’amie m’attend
