TOMATO ENVY

(Photo courtesy of the Food Network)

I love Giada De Laurentiis, her show and her cookbooks. You've got to love her spunk, her talent and her adorable family. Now I have a serious case of tomato envy. Take a look at these huge screens of tomatoes drying in the sun on the Isle of Capri. Oh my goodness....
Have a terrific weekend!

    Now that's the way to do it!
    Love Giada. She always looks like she is having a ball. Her espresso brownies are to die for!
    I'm enjoying some of your "essential happiness" at TLPC this weekend. Hope you too are having a ball!

    Giada is one of my favorites! She is so sweet in person. I met her in Oak Brook, Illinois a few years back at a book signing at Williams-Sonoma. As far as tomatoes....love them! I just picked up a large jar of sun dried tomatoes from CostCo....yummy!!

    BTW...sorry to hear about your grandpa! I know he is missed dearly! I grew up listening to him ---- love those Detroit Tigers!!

    I saw Giada at the Food & Wine Festival in Aspen a few years ago. She is just as cute in person, and I LOVE her recipes!

    I was enchanted by her grandmother, the great actress Silvana Mangano, a unique beauty and I have followed the family's stories and the movies produced by her grandfather for decades. Now Giada brings her smile and enthusiasm to our homes.
