On top of my "to do list" when I'm next in Denver.

It's always wonderful to experience customer service that makes you feel important. I'm totally impresses.

That would be fun to eat in the green house. Sounds delicious!

I'm proud of you and all that you've created and manifested! What a fun (and not always easy) journey you have been on.

Congrats @Bob on your upcoming move to Italy. Where are you moving to?

Ahh. Thanks Grace! I wasn't sure you noticed all of this. Glad you appreciate it, or at least most of it. Can't wait to see your bedskirt. I love you, Mom.

Re: The one thing that will keep you from becoming fluent in a language

I gathered documents for 5 years to finally acquire dual-citizenship with Italy through my bloodline, as both sets of grandparents immigrated from Italy to the US. I believe to truly know my heritage and the culture of Italy I need to speak their language. (My parents were born in the US, and did not speak Italian). I love all things Italian and since I lead a group of women to Italy every year, it's just very important for me to become fluent. Besides, it's the most musical delicious language around. I just wish I would have learned when I was young as I find it difficult, but I won't give up.

Love these whenever I find them in Italy. Some places do have them even if it's not carnivale.

Re: Adopt a Spire on the Milano Duomo

Lenora Boyle — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:06:32 -0000

This is a fantastic initiative. It has always surprised me that Italy doesn't have more of this. It is somewhat common in the US to adopt a piece of something or buy a brick for a piazza or other similar project.

Thanks for a power-packed blog post, Phyllis. Each piece of advice give me lots of homework to do. You are an endless source of wisdom!

Re: Homemade Ravioli: Butternut Squash & Spinach Ricotta

Cerna, the dog, is looking at the long piece of pasta dough, happily remembering when I left lots of raw ravioli in the car in Boulder, and he ate all of it. That was a long night....

This sounds so wonderful Phyllis. Your presentation is just what I need!

Re: How to Use Google+ Hangouts for Your Business

Lenora Boyle — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:28:52 -0000

Thanks Phyllis for such an in depth article. I'm just starting with G+, so I like the idea of hangouts for teaching and maybe even an Italian Cooking class on hangouts. This was like a college class. So much to learn and you make it possible.

Re: Italian Eateries in Clarksburg, WV

Lenora Boyle — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:04:55 -0000

It was fun for me to visit each spot because even though I grew up in Clarksburg, I had not been to each of these spots. Loved it! Great job capturing the experience.

This is such an amazing idea. I wish I could be in Boulder for this. Give us an update after you've gone, and tell us what it was like to, literally, to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

I would love to savor and look at this beautiful food, and work in their garden. Yum..seed to table. Please take me there when I visit Boulder.

Re: A Birthday Public Service Announcement

Lenora Boyle — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:00:32 -0000

Your birthdays have always had an emotional bent, like the time your dad dressed up in a bear costume for your 2nd birthday party, and when he appeared at the party, all the kids ran screaming to their parents. We thought they would like it. Then he took his head off to show them he wasn't a real bear, and everyone really wailed then. (We have that on video). They probably thought the bear had eaten your dad, and they were next. One birthday we rented a room at the local hotel and used their pool. All the kids were reacting to the heavily chlorinated pool. As we sat around the cake, everyone had red eyes and smelled like chlorine. Then the party where we served coffee chocolate cake and half the kids immediately got diarrhea, and we only had one bath room, so there was a line of frantic little girls. You stressed about all of this.

I read somewhere that the the kids in Ireland leave a glass of Guinness and cookies for Santa and his reindeer, instead of milk. Looks delicious.

Re: Table for Two: Human Magic and a Hot Mess

Lenora Boyle — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:27:23 -0000

Jenny,
You are making major changes rapidly! Seems perfectly normal to me that your emotions are running. I was just telling someone yesterday, 'Even though we finally get what we want, there can still be challenges. We erroneously think it will "make" us happy.'
Enjoy the ride! You go girl!

Re: Local Table Tours: Boulder, Colorado

Lenora Boyle — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:42:52 -0000

I am so looking forward to the Local Table Tour when I visit you on Feb 8 in Boulder. My mouth is watering. As you know, Iowa is not known for its 'foodie' restaurants.

This is your best post yet, Grace, and that's saying a lot! Like a laser from your heart deep into anyone's soul who has ever doubted or judged themselves, or compared themselves to others. Thanks.
