My Hero Cooks for the Pope

Ever since my mom's gotten sick, I've been unable to blog. I've got about 5 things I'd like to post, but after spending 10 hour days in the ICU, I'm too tired and too bewildered to do so. I can however, continue to post about interesting things that are related to my love of food... and this article is surely one of them. Lidia Bastianich is my top culinary hero. I love her. The pope... eh. :)

Irish Soda Bread

Since I couldn't take time to dedicate this post to St Patrick's Day (I am very Irish, by the way) I thought I might repost my St Pat's themed post from 2007.

I encourage you to take a look... when I first posted this, not many people were reading my blog.


Slainte!

No Updates Lately

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately... My family has had a really rough week and so I thought I'd post and let anyone who reads this know (and foodbuzz since I am a publisher for them too) that my mom is really sick and that's why I've not posted.... heck, I've hardly eaten anything the last 2 weeks....So to the bloggers out there, send a little cyber hope to my mom... the most beautiful and courageous woman I know....and the very best mother a girl could have.
