      Hello Baba,

      Are you having beef stew for lunch? 🙂 This is a recipe I have made a couple of times before, so this was pretty familliar.

    Love the way you set the ‘before’ picture up! I have never used peppers before in my sauce and will try it tomorrow!
    Your parents are lucky that you enjoy cooking! And in Italy there is so much yummy stuff to learn to cook…and eat!

      Hi Teta Doreen,

      We are all great and are having an amazing time! I think so far I’ve eaten different types of food every couple of weeks. Making the spaghetti was fun and good to eat. 🙂
