Well,wait a minute, today was a special occasion, we got to eat my seafood risotto with Prosecco..yes I would consider that special&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd for dessert, a fresh macedonia (find the recipe in The Basic Art of Italian Cooking)made with Tarocco oranges from Sicily.<br \/>\nTomorrow I will be testing a reicpe for a dish that has its&#8217; origins in Naples..gatto. it comes for mthe french word &#8216;gateau; (pronounced both as\u00a0 gah-toe). This word means cake in French, but it is a main course made with mashed potatoes, provolone and mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, eggs, fresh parsley..<br \/>\nI know this will end up being our lunch (pranzo ) and I will check back here with the recipe tommorrow or as soon as we have finished enjoying&#8230;<br \/>\nIt is mezzanotte (midnight) here in the mountains of Abruzzo and I am finishing up for tonight&#8230;<br \/>\nMaria<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marialiberati.com\/\">https:\/\/www.marialiberati.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must admit that my kitchen here (at our villa in Abruzzo) has turned more into a laboratory than a kitchen.\u00a0 I\u00a0am testing out recipes for my new upcoming books..I&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marialiberati.com\/freshsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
