Giada is a Goddess!
I was in the Italian Market in Philly yesterday (the one where someone threw Rocky an apple). (That's not really what happened, but that's another story!) It's amazing all the ingredients that are sooo good, but never make it to your local grocery store.

She is one heckova lot prettier than Mario LOL I'm lucky in that one omy my local supermarkets is a small chain who pride themselves on their fresh fruits and vegetables. Their stands are full of the best from around the world and with 7 deliveries a week even smell fresh. Plus there is an artisanal co-op market in an old greenhouse all year round and seasonal farmers' markets on both sides of the river. My favorite thing to do, once or twice a week is to go to the market with no menu in mind and let the food stands decide for me But I would love to live beside one of the big food markets like yours in Philadelphia or the ones in lower Manhattan or the great Boston markets. Hey Roger, I was in Salisbury on market day last November. That was as big as Covent Garden

Whatchadooin in Salisbury Tom? It's a long way from Manchester but it is UK. We went to see those big stones up there at Amesbury I just looked at the map and I see that Salisbury is the opposite way from London as Manchester Maybe next trip we'll swing North. So much to see, so little time

Never took you for a "New age druid" Tom ;D Not New Age for sure But my lovely traveling companion like to go to the "places of power." Not to dismiss Stonehenge which is impressive in its own right, my "places of power" on that trip were the British Museum, The National Gallery and Westminster Abbey. It is also interesting to stand in places (likr the "White Tower") that existed before the first successful European settlement on the North American Continent. That re-defined History for me last November and History has been an avocation for 40+ years

Thanks, Tom! That sounds great to me. I also like to simplify recipes using what I have instead of buying something I don't use all the time. I love the way she required al dente pasta. I don't care for mushy pasta, either. It sounds like a great recipe for using up everything leftover in the fridge. Could probably substitue chicken for the pancetta, as well, being as how it calls for chicken stock, or use beef stock if you have leftover beef. I can't make anything that stings your tongue because my wife can not eat it that way. I usually doctor my share after dishing it out.
