“Food, you know, tells us who we are, where we come from.
It connects us, it expresses emotion. It expresses care, it expresses love”-Lidia
Can I tell you HOW over the top excited I was to meet Lidia Bastianich @lidiabastianich this weekend at Dave’s Fresh Marketplace !! 
Not only is she a wonderful chef, she is a wonderful person and so kind. 
Oh, and by the way, I slipped her Great Aunt Louise’s appetizers to take home!
Hope she lets me know how she likes them! 
Grazie per essere venuto a Rhode Island! Cin Cin
