Steve brought home Maria Merante’s Wedding Soup and it was so good on a dark night.
I lit a candle to counteract the early sunset before 5 pm.

Enough to inform my taste buds that this product wasn’t for me.
Not sure what Steve thought when he saw it in the store.
We like eating stuffing at Thanksgiving. Just not as the flavor for popcorn.
Plain popcorn with plain salt, cooked on top of the stove. Real butter on rare occasions.
My preference.
Do you like popcorn?
I mean I saw this bag of Unikorn on a sale shelf at Tj Maxx and wasn’t even tempted

Basket Cheese
I was standing at Labriola’s Italian Grocery deli counter and it’s the first time I saw Basket Cheese. I asked about it. It’s only sold at Easter time. It can be used to make Easter pies or you eat a slice with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey. A firm ricotta like cheese. There are recipes. Recipes to make basket cheese at home and recipes to use the store-bought version to bake savory pies for Easter. There are sweet recipes too. Here’s a recipe for savory Italian Easter Pie
It’s called “basket cheese” because it’s formed in a basket and you can see the imprint of the weaving on the side of the cheese.
