I adore reading your posts and savor every word. I'm always learning something -- always. Today I Goggled "chipolata." Wiki states...Chipolata is a type of fresh sausage, believed to have been created in France. Chipolata's are also eaten a great deal in the United Kingdom. They frequently appear as part of a Christmas dinner wrapped in streaky bacon as pigs in blankets. At first glance I thought you were referring to chipotle. "Duh," said the blonde. I then Goggled "swede." I thought you MAY be referring to a handsome "cooking partner" -- then I thought, "No, Marie is a respectable woman, married to a wonderful man." ::sighing:: You're probably thinking, "Off with her head!" Anyway, I discovered a swede is a rutabaga. Hmmm. I can't say I don't like rutabaga because I've never tasted one. My mother often told,"One can't say they hate something if they haven't tasted it." Sometimes I taste with my eyes. :( Alas, you can't believe everything you see either! All in all, I'm captivated by your cooking techniques, style, charm, wit and warmth. Thank you for all you share. I look forward to reading your blog daily.Debra "Deb" Dresden Disney-Diorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660851486605190512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-53665987976758346172009-12-27T16:58:26.435+00:002009-12-27T16:58:26.435+00:00This looks wonderful - as do all of your recipes. ...This looks wonderful - as do all of your recipes.
