Carnivale ! Cuchina Italiana Style ...
My monthly email showed up again , like clockwork.
So here's what the Systran Box claims it says:
Kind Mrs. April J,
it is time of Carnival: all frittelle the more sfiziose introduced in an unusual elegant garment. Paste strudel, choux, brioche and crêpes: salate cakies or? Many perfect plates in both the versions. The kitchen school continues with the pastes mounts to you with eggs: pan of Spain and pastes biscotto, ideals in order to prepare farcite cakes and dolcetti. And for romantici wines in order sedurre, the table for the two and Ballarini promotion that continues with the heart stamp.
Good reading
It sounds so much better in Italian though , doncha think ....
Gentile Signora April J,
è tempo di Carnevale: tutte le frittelle più sfiziose presentate in un'insolita veste elegante. Pasta strudel, choux, brioche e crêpes: dolci o salate? Tanti piatti perfetti in entrambe le versioni. La scuola di cucina prosegue con gli impasti montati con le uova: pan di spagna e paste biscotto, ideali per preparare torte farcite e dolcetti. E per i più romantici i vini per sedurre, la tavola per due e la promozione Ballarini che prosegue con lo stampo a cuore.

Sunrise , Sunset
I always thought I'd miss that big Texas sky.
The Massachusetts sky has such vivid colors that it pushes all other thoughts away.
Elegantly barren branches of these northern trees only add to the nightly display .
Sunset behind breakfast nook window
Sunset through cream colored kitchen curtains
Early the other morning I caught the sunrise in my jim jams :
