Love Thursday: Amore Mio

Shh…don’t tell P, but I snapped this photo of him while he was taste-testing the merluzzo from yesterday’s recipe.


I was across the table from him (not my usual seat) pretending to fiddle with the camera to prepare for upcoming food shots when I zoomed and snapped.

Just so you know, this is 1 in a series of 1. There may not be another for a very long time. Doesn’t sit still much this one. Check out the movement in the fork!

And he’s more than just a pretty face! For more P cuteness, check out Conversations with P. And if you want to read about how we met, it’s in How a Jean Jacket and Some Wind Can Change Your Life.

I hope all of my American readers, at least, are having a nice long holiday weekend–I think I just may take one myself in honor of my birth country. God bless America!

Happy Love Thursday everyone!

    How about we make that gli piacciono le donne stranieri? In genere, perché credi mi, se fosse il compagno di questa, non è permessa nessun altra.

    Judith, first let me say, oh how I hate the verb piacere.

    Next, I’d have to ask lo zio some questions, but I’m guessing foreign, red hair, and mistress of the kitchen are definite pluses.

    The cats? Not so sure, but they must be considered better than rabbits (as pets). My suocera just brought me a coniglio pronto per cucinare this morning….

    I am THRILLED to finally see a picture of P. And I love that it’s in black and white. He reminds me of my grandfather (who is also Italian) when he was younger. The hairstyle and the nose specifically. And I love that you captured him taste testing – it just completes the picture of a true Italian man. I’m glad he didn’t catch you photographing him, as I’ve been curious for a long time about what he looked like – now I know. Lucky you.

    Daily Rant, thanks for commenting! I’m happy I’ve finally gotten a decent shot of P (I have many with his hand partially blocking his face)–and yes, while eating is very fitting. I have to say, also, that I think your Nonno must’ve been quite handsome ;)
