Hi, Blog. It's me again, Laura.

It's been awhile, but here I am. My camera broke which served as a distraction to this blog which seemed to be going so well.

I've also been struggling with things to write about, caught up in a move, and just adjusting to a new life, new friends, and a new job.

My new job is with the Healthy Schools Campaign, and through my work I've realized that I've become a foodie. Eating good food is one of the great pleasures in life. So, therefore, I've decided to continue my blog with what I love and care about most: food.

My boyfriend, Daniele, is from a small town near Bologna, Italy. Obviously, Italians have a very strong culinary culture. We spend approximately 1-2 hours each night cooking anything from homemade gnocchi, stuffed peppers, spicy tuna pasta sauce, mussels, Spanish tortilla to pork chops.

I love everything about the cooking, from the cutting, to the grilling/baking/roasting/sauteing/frying, and especially ESPECIALLY the eating. So, expect in the next coming months some entries about some of the items I most enjoy. Be looking for a title/layout update, as well as new recipes and photos of what we cook.

Daniele and I ate out tonight, which is rare form for us. We had a gift card and had some Mediterranean food. To get started with some photos, here is a picture of the appetizer we had: falaffel, hummus, tabouleh, and dolma. 

I guess I'm joining the foodie blog bandwagon.
