into another kitchen!
I forgot to mention my most fabulous news. Today I will be appearing at a book signing for the wonderful book "The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken."
Lily practically forced me to apply for a job as Writer's Assistant a year ago, and I am so glad she did. I had the fortunate experience to work with Laura Schenone, a wonderful writer and a fabulous person. I was encouraged to stretch my abilities and found out I could actually assist a real writer.
It has always been my dream to write a book. I don't know if I could actually do it, now that I've seen what it entails, but I feel so blessed to have been a small part of this book. It was fascinating to see the hard work that goes into a book, and I will never look at a book the same way again. The creative process is only the beginning. There are many many details to attend to before a book gets into your hands.
I encourage anyone reading this to buy this book AT ONCE, and not just because my name is mentioned in the Acknowledgements (second page, third paragraph). It is a beautiful journey into a woman's family traditions. You feel you are in the sweet sun-filled air of Italy, taken back in time to a Traditional way of living and cooking. You will be able to make your own ravioli, and get a real feeling of appreciation of family and food. And that's what being Frolic Girl is all about, isn't it?

Frolic Girl note: Alice, Carolee, and I attempted to make pasta with freshly ground whole wheat flour, and once I remembed to add olive oil to the dough, it worked! After all Frolic Girls read the book, we will have a Ravioli Frolic. Ms. Schenone always got a real kick out of my tales of kitchen frolics and mis-adventures.
