HELP SAVE OUR HISTORIC LIBRARY!

LET'S MAKE A COOKBOOK!

As I was playing bumper brella on the way to the office this morning (the only way, I have found, to keep the short old ladies' umbrellas out of my eyes while we're crowded on the sidewalk, is to have my own umbrella and to walk defensively), I thought of a cool way to raise money for the Italian American Association in Trieste (not a member? Become one and help save our historic library, and our dignity!!), have an excuse to try out new recipes for the greater good, and do something awesome for the Association's 50th anniversary next year. How does this sound?? 

THE ITALIAN AMERICAN ASSOCIATION 50TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE COOKBOOK? 

It can be full of recipes for the foods we expats miss most: BRUNCH FOOD, as well as indications for Italians to make our yummy cookies and desserts (in cups and grams) and can have anecdotes from the 50 years of the Association (if we make it til then. Again, if you're not a member, pony up!!). As an added extra bonus, we can put in our favorite Triestino recipes too! 

Anybody in? Wanna help? SEND ME YOUR FAVORITE AMERICAN/TRIESTINE RECIPES! Tell me what you wish you knew how to make! 

Live in Trieste? Wanna be INVOLVED??!!  

Shout out number one! I need that Recipe for Eggs Benedict! Laura, you know who you are! And if you live in Trieste and have a good substitution for English Muffins (or a place to find them), let me know that too!

CHOP CHOP! We've got work to do!!! 

If I know my readers, I bet that this little book would be appreciated on both sides of the Pond. Am I right?
