ever watch the create channel on local television? it’s actually pretty good…
we happened to watch a particularly good episode last night after an all day of eating. the host, lidia, who i considered my dear italian friend by the end of the show made salsiccia con peperoni (sausage with peppers). needless to say the recipe was fresh in my memory this morning. very simple. very good. took all of 5 minutes to prep + cooking time.
