Saturday Showcase – Sitting with Selena Robins — No Comments

  1. OMG I love Italian food! Too bad my waist line doesn\’t. And I agree with Selena, nothing sexier than a man who knows his way around a kitchen. I need one of those, but he has to leave the cupcakes to me. 🙂 Can\’t wait to try this recipe!

    P.S. My dad cooks the same way. I ask him how he makes something, he tells me in terms like \’until you hear it\’, \’until it tastes\’, or \’when you smell\’.

  2. I used to like to cook, but now I hate it. I think mostly because not enough good choices(my family doesn\’t like to try new and are picky). But I\’ve often thought pastas would be a big variety of choices. This looks tasty Selena. I love white sauce.

    I too think a guy who knows how to cook is a sexy addition to an otherwise drab life. Wish I had one…LOL

    I love how you combine two loves, cooking and writing.

  3. Hi, Rachel! Thanks for visiting. I agree. I love it when writers add their real passions to characters, because it adds passion to the writing. It\’s fun to read and fun to write.

  4. Hi, Moira! I love it too. Sadly, I don\’t get to eat much pasta anymore, since it doesn\’t like me much, but I use white beans instead and that works fine.

    And yes, the pinch method of cooking. \”Mom-Mom, how much do you put in?\” \”Enough.\”

    😐

  5. I agree, Sloan, men who cook are totally sexy! My hub is an excellent cook. I love it. We\’re teaching my kid to cook, which is slow, but gratifying when he gets it right.

  6. I\’ve tried this recipe, it\’s amazing, as is everything that Selena serves me when I come for lunch. Whenever I ask her for a recipe, Selena tells me \’it\’s in my head … I just throw in this and that.\’ Since I\’m not adventurous in the kitchen, I need exact measurements, but Selena does her best to write things down for me, LOL!

  7. Oh, Nancy, that sounds lovely! I\’m so glad you\’ve gotten to try her cooking and spend time and such. That\’s the only drawback of the internet; we meet folks who are so far away! Someday we\’ll have to plan a great big reunion and cook and knit and laugh until we can\’t see straight.

    And it\’s good that you get her to write those things down. Recipes, like stories, should be preserved. 🙂
