We really are enjoying ourselves, we are dating again!
Today, mid summer, still, hot...nothing better than a light lunch by the pool.
Enjoy this super fast recipe, and let us introduce you to a very special wine.
Buon Appetito

It was long overdue,
since Deb and I shot our last episode before Xmas.
Time flew by, we went to Italy and came back, introduced a few guests...Rosanna, Aunt Laura.

We realized all of a sudden that this was going to be our Valentine's episode...but we already picked up our recipe for the day: Pasta e Fagioli.
"Ugh, a bean soup for Valentines'?" we thought, almost ready to improvise something different...

Then, all considered. The love is in the act of cooking, not necessarily just in the dish you decided to prepare.
So, if you feel like handling the beans tonight....there you go, have fun!

Featured in this episode a great red Wine and a superb Olive Oil from the hills of Chianti, courtesy of the Ruffino estate.
