I was tagged by Mich.
The rule is: I am to list five of the best nights of my life and tag four people.

1.I can’t ride a bike, any 2 wheeler for that matter, but I can drive even in the narrowest alley.2.I can’t swim and my friends gave up on me in […]

I prepared this dish last night and it was sooo good. I had to use my All-Clad wok because I have to admit, I made the whole box of pasta, and even my largest saute pan was not big enough for easy mixing. The recipe came from the Rachael Ray show. In one of the […]
