Sometimes you feel like a blog, sometimes you don’t……

I know I should be cleaning my house, oh well. I just felt like posting a blog. I have been going into the city (NYC), and I have been inspired to cook. I remember the restaurants that I used to go to and I would love to recreate many of my favorite foods. I remember going to Katz’s and getting delicious deli sandwiches. I loved eating in the village on the lower east side.  I remember going to Little Italy and the fantastic pasta dishes. The Italian cheesecake was the best.It was so reminisce going through Chinatown.  I loved all the different noodle dishes that I used to dine on.

Carbs (carbohydrates) are always getting a bad rap. They are said to be the bad food. I however would never give up my all time favorite comfort, go to food. I love to make pasta decadent. I also know that when I make pasta that good I must control my desire to eat the entire pot. I think that is why I probably don’t cook it that often. I love heavy cream and port in pasta. Just the thought of it makes my mouth water.

Next week we are scheduled to have a hurricane. Hurricane Sandy (named after my mom) is going to strike Long Island. I always cook during storms. I don’t know why, I always shop and cook during wild weather. Since I have gas cooking and a new bbq, there is no excuse to try out some new recipes. I have a freezer full of food and will cook and feed my family and friends.  Now what will I cook? Pasta, meat, chicken, yes I will cook them all.

It will be time to recreate some old favorites and maybe make a new one along the way. I might even post a recipe or two.
