Or, I should say, I’m back to Michael Chiarello. I am what I call “phasic,” meaning I go through enthusiasms in phases. My cooking enthusiasm phases are few and far between, and my husband has been waiting for another one to strike. (He does most of the cooking.) His absolute favorite phase of mine was my Michael Chiarello phase. The food is great, and best of all the recipes are simple. (I tend to choose recipes that are really involved and then I’m burned out (no pun intended) on cooking for another three months.) And I tend to make dessert which is really only useful when we’re going to someone’s house or having people over. No, I don’t eat dessert every day, and maybe that’s my problem.
I love this cookbook, though!
I was thumbing through it because I needed the recipe for Ceci a la Siciliana, about which I love everything, especially the name. I say the name a lot. I think it is pronounced Seechee a la Siciliana. I say it as often as possible. The dish also tastes great and is vegetarian.
Changing topic, I’m starting a newsletter this year. I plan to do one once a month and will be providing original recipes, updates on my writing, book give-aways, photos, and writing tips. To sign up for the newsletter, please let me know in the comments!
Thanks for visiting, and enjoy your day.
I will check out his cookbook! My husband has been cooking for me since I’ve been laid up and I realize how rare it is to pull out a recipe. I got out of the habit when my kids moved out.

Hi Susie!
I hope your new bionic knee is healing well. You’ll need to wait until it’s all the way better before standing in a kitchen! Let the husband cook for you!
I do really recommend this book. All the ingredient lists are short. 🙂
Hugs,
Nia
