About Me
- Name: Kristina
- Location: Corleone, Sicily, Italy
I live with my husband and son in a little apartment in Corleone, Sicily. I am from Toronto, Canada and moved back to my husband's hometown in January 2010 to start a new kind of life. I started this blog as a cooking and baking site, to record my recipes and my thoughts alongside them. I have decided to pick up this blog where I left off some time ago, to record observations about our daily life. I don't have much time left now for leisurely breakfasts or daydreaming, but that is okay with me! My days are occupied instead by working at the Anti Mafia Museum in Corleone, and by chasing after my one and a half year old ball of energy. I want to inspire myself with the things going on all around me...

I can imagine the aroma was fabulous.
You're right Barbara--especially after the basil was added!
Ciao Kristina - My name is Sharon and I'm from Thunder Bay. I am not Italian but married into the Italian culture 20 years ago. When I saw the picture of the jars of sauce on your blog - I had to drop you a note! We just did our sauce a few weeks ago - made about 85 jars this year and many of my friends question why do you do this - it's so much work! Sunday night dinner always confirms why I do it! When my family takes 2 or 3 helpings of Pasta I know the sauce is perfect!!!!
I absolutely love the Italian cuisine and because of my mother-in-laws guiding hand and encouragement in the kitchen I have been able to become somewhat of a fairly good "home-cook"!
I can't wait till the day we get to go to Italy and really taste the pleasures of all of the regions.
PS - Grapes are in this week so the vino will be flowing soon as well!
Ciao
There's nothing better than home-made sauce and I'm lucky to have Italian neighbors...can't get enough of basil!
Nice to meet you Sharon! Hope your wine is going well.
Thanks for browsing Peter M! I checked out your blog--you look like an awsome cook--my husband and I were impressed with your dishes.
Hi Kristina - we do the same every year. The tomatoes were fantastic this year I must say. Jarring your own sauce really makes a huge difference. I enjoy your blog! ciao! Joe
Ooohhh... those tomatoes look gorgeous! Lots of work, but well worth it!
Great blog!
Hi
I think they are making tomato ketchup there are many people like.
