Frittelle Di Semolino Dolce - Sweet Fried Semolina Snack

July 01, 2011 by Monica in Appletizers & Snacks, Desserts, Family, Family Cookbook, Sweets

Today, I started to clean my home office and came across a box and inside I stumbled unto my old recipe notebook that I started when I was twelve years old during one of my visits to my paternal grandparent’s home. When we moved to the states, my sister and I would travel during the summer months to visit them in Venezuela. And during one of those visits, I decided that I would start writing my Nonna’s recipes, so I could bring them back and make them.

As I opened the old falling apart yellow notebook, memories rushed back at me

Chicken Surprise

I have been busy. Very, very busy.

I have not used my stove, oven or any kitchen stuff in five days.

I miss cooking.

Instead I’m packing and unpacking.

Did I evern mention how much I love travel, but hate packing?

But, tonight I will be packing again, this time I take off to the seas. For the next 4 days I will on this ship.

It will be me and the best friend, and usually we party it up when we get together - Some mayhem is sure to occur.

Along with large amount of eating, drinking and reading.

My kindle is going too.

In the meantime, I totally forgot that I had this and had not share it with you.

My bad.

Its not a recipe, but she is delicious

See this cutie pie above?

That is the new addition to Tom’s family. We are off to meet her this weekend. So instead of being in the kitchen baking and cooking we are going to be in North Carolina nibbling at her sweetness and sneaking up as much snuggle time with her as we can get.

See you all back on Monday.
