So I wanted to learn Italian.

[usonian]

Saw a book at the thrift store: "Everyday Italian"

Put it in the shopping cart.

Got home.

IT'S A COOKBOOK.




(Mostly) true story.

Va bene.

[elleng]

1. Va Bene!!!

2. Libro aperto

3. Your post brings to mind

An old (is there any other kind?) twilight zone episode

TO SERVE MAN. A manuscript from outerspace. Which also was a cookbook. Loved that whacky rod serling.

8. That was intentional! Glad you got it.

One of my favorites.
Love the ending.

9. ITS A COOKBOOK!

One of those things Burgess Meredith couldn’t read after he broke his glasses.

10. I definitely remember that episode.

So sad.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Yes it was sad

Twilight Zone was a stimulus of the mind. Dare I say simple yet complex.

12. Let's not forget Andy Devine in Hocus-Pocus and Frisby

One of my top 5 episodes.

4. Most important part of the language anyway lol

6. Exactly!

Good food is a universal language!

5. That's actually

A pretty popular cookbook, most of the cooks I’ve worked with praise her

I think I have a copy, but may have passed it along to an aspiring chef in training
