  • Soup offers a filling, warming break from traditional meals

    There is nothing wrong with serving soup as a main dish, as it can be less time-consuming than planning a large meal.
    Delicious and filling soups can be prepared in a relatively short amount of time, left to simmer throughout the day. Many can be made in just a few hours or less.
    You may also want to offer a variety of appetizers with your soup. Use simple appetizers, including a light dip with crackers (save the bread for the soup) and fresh-cut vegetables and fruit for sweetness and crunchiness.
    Bread is your best friend

  • Life lesson: The flower of the fig is buried deep within the fruit

    A newly-minted friend recommended a book for my perusal. It was a generous offer based on our common Italian-American heritage and one that brought me more intently to the land of my ancestors with each turned page.
