One of my very favorite pies, Carlo! Thank you for posting this -- gotta try it!

The damage from such carelessness is still evident in many caves. And yes, touching the formations is bad because the oils from our skin build up and "kill" the formations.

That's exactly how it was explained to us. They had *one* stalagmite that they allowed us to touch. It was already ruined (obviously), but that was supposed to "get it out of our systems" - LOL! Our pathway was roped off and too far from any of the other formations to touch.

It's a shame that the original explorers were like "bulls in a china shop." But we, as humans, tended to be too boisterous in many of our explorations even beyond caves.

OK, well I really need to get dressed and rocking on my Saturday errands. Catch you later - and *loved* living vicariously through your pizza and your exciting cave touring job. Way cool!

It's amazing, but that diet works for almost everyone that tries it. As far as I can tell, it is one of the few that works as a life-altering diet as well. Lose it and it stays lost..LOL My kind of deal! After a while, you can even eat some pasta again..Hahahahahah Thanks Dixie

[sweetliberty]

Have a great day dansy. *Hugs*

[Budge]

Hehehe! As good as sweetliberty's pizza is, I just could not get those last few crumbs down!

And even maxplunder could only down two small pieces!

[carlo3b]

How about a cookbook for those of us who only have themselves to cook for?

Close, but no cigar...Oh my..Yikes!! I meant to say, I have a new book on the way, the first in a short series that deals with, great "little recipes" called.. "SOUP, SEX, and the SINGLE MAN", and "SALAD, SEX, and CHOCOLATE" for the girls.. I'll keep you apprised on my website .. , it could be ready in time from Christmas.. fingers crossed.. o<]:^)~

Enjoy, THE TRIPLE THREAT, but I'll give you another use for the fresh lemon, that even the others will love as well.

This is the secret recipe, for the signature dish at Rio's, Restaurant in New York, a wonderful place for the insiders in the Big Apple.. it is a terrific dish, not exactly our typical Italian red gravy, but soooo well worth the effort..  If anyone wants/needs any particular  red sauce, pasta recipe, just ask.. enjoy!

 LEMON CHICKEN (POLLO AL LIMONE)

• 2 broiling chickens, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds each, halved
• Marinate (recipe follows)
• Lemon Sauce (recipe follows)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

             1. Preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.

             2. Broil chicken halves, turning once, until skin is golden brown and juices run clear when bird is
             pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very
             sharp knife, cut each half into about six pieces (leg, thigh, wing, and three small breast pieces).

             3. Place chicken on a baking sheet with raised sides. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken, and toss to
             coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half, and do this in two batches.

             4. Return to broiler, and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece, and broil for an additional minute.
             Remove from broiler, and evenly portion chicken onto six warm serving plates.

             5. Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan, and stir in parsley. Place over high heat, and boil for 1 minute.
             Pour sauce over chicken, distributing it evenly among the six servings; serve with lots of crusty bread
             to absorb the sauce.

MARINATE
(minimum 6 hrs, better overnight)

• 1 cup fresh lemon juice Buy a big bag of these you'll need 12
• 1 cup pure olive oil
• 1/2 cup fresh rosemary
• 1 cup good full-bodied white wine
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1/2 t ea salt, fresh ground pepper

 LEMON SAUCE

•  Makes approximately 3 1/4 cups
•  2 cups fresh lemon juice
•  1 cup olive oil
•  1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
•  1 1/2 teaspoons 4-5 cloves minced garlic
•  1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
•  1 cup fresh rosemary
• 1 more cup of that good wine
•  1 cup pure olive oil
•  Salt and pepper to taste

             Place all ingredients in a large bowl, and whisk together until well blended. Cover, and refrigerate
             until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously just before use.

There were a few things I did sneak in - like honemade lasange. I figured the tomato and meat sauce deflected any bad things in the pasta!!

[dixie sass]

Morning, Dansy & Carlo - I just had to come read your Friday thread - gosh, what great recipes, both of you, and a beautiful way you presented it, Dansy!

I noticed there were a few who missed the first time I profiled you, Carlo, so wanted to link that thread here. We did a fantastic Thanksgiving feature last November, so if you'd like to see some wonderful holiday recipes, click this link!
