NOT MUCH COOKING THIS SUMMER...


Broke 2 fingers dodging for a tennis ball during a "friendly" family match.  Food is so important to my family that in the middle of my rolling on the court in pain and while being boarded onto a gurney for the ambulance my sister calls out, "Don't worry about us Magoo we have your Veal Osso Bucco to eat tonight."  

It felt like a scene from GOODFELLAS when Ray Liotta is talking through his busy day while making the gravy and hearing the helicopters over his house...I had made the Osso Bucco a week before the Silletti's were going to arrive so I could freeze it and play tennis and golf during the day.  Defrosted the veal and started making the roasted peppers while everyone was getting their tennis gear on.  I left it all out to get room temperature so that I could enjoy a nice glass of wine after tennis and before setting the table for 14 people...(can you hear the helicopters?)

After surgery, pins, painful physical therapy I'm thinking I'm done with tennis.  I can barely grip a pepper grinder let alone a racquet or golf club.  I gotta take up a new sport - maybe
 Irish dancing...NOT!
