italy-grappa-n-stoneI love my friend Nanci’s paintings. Here’s one inspired by a photo in an Italian cook-book. It makes me feel warm all over – just as though I’d had a sip or two of that grappa!

The Italians sure know how to eat well – and stay fit and slim. No shovelling mediocre cake and ice-cream for them!

Enjoy!
