The ramblings and recipes of a girl from NYC who loves to cook, loves to eat, collects cookbooks and loves anything to do with food

When I first put up this blog I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or if I would even like doing it. I can happily say that I truly love taking pictures of my food and writing about it. But what really thrills me the most are all the lovely comments from my readers. Readers who span the globe on 6 continents, reaching out and visiting me in my little corner of cyberspace here in New York City. I want to thank all of you who have been visiting me from the beginning and for those of you who are new to my blog. Old friends and new friends who I have met along the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful comments on here and in private messages and emails. I truly appreciate them and it inspires me to cook more.


Thank you,

Sandi

  9. There's nothing like a bruschetta rubbed down with plenty of garlic and topped with tomatoes so ripe that they are bursting with juice. Great recipe!
