Catesa-cheese is worth some drooling...

Oh yumm. Those crostini look absolutely scrumptious. We've been looking for different "finger food" for an upcoming party and this is perfect - thanks for sharing!

Mmmm...sounds like a perfect combination. It rains so much here in the wintertime too...I used to love it, and still enjoy a rainy day here and there (for cooking!), but after a while (especially the end of winter after several months of rain) I really really miss the sunshine!

Manuel-thanks for this and your other comments, it's nice to have guests from Mexico! But do you by any chance know any scandinavians as you called me Ylva? It is such a long time since someone did that, in Sweden they always mistake my name for Ylva!
Oliver- I'm flattered, it's almost like going to your party in person. Although in this way I will be nibbled on...!!
Michelle-yeah, rain is only good for cooking!

I absolutely love your blog, so it was all my pleasure to list you on my blog. I've only been to Italy once, but every time I read your blog I get good memories. I must come back!

ilva, ylva...Just made a mistake, no i dont know any scandinavian people, I should try your duck meatballs, do you have a good recipe for swedish meatballs?
manuel braverman | 10.21.05 - 4:53 am | #

Kalyn-You can't imagine how happy your words make me!
Manuel-well, I make it for my children but I just do them without recipe. I suggest you the check out Anne's Food or A Cat in the Kitchen in the link list on the left, both are Swedish food blogs!
