When Sigrid tagged me for this meme I thought: Oh, no… But then I began to look at the entries of last year, my first year of blogging, and I realize that I did some “amazing” things that I couldn’t dare if I had no one but my family and friends to share it with… There were low moments and “glorious” moments and I hope there will be more and more, especially for the latter!!!
So, previously on The Kitchen Pantry:
Zuppa bianchissima and Piperita’s love for celery root…
A Lazy Sunday Focaccia for a lazy Sunday with lazy attitude…
Rogan Josh and Piperita’s obsession for Indian curries…
Torta multistrato di pere e cioccolato, for the sad days in need of something chocolatey…
Tortini con pomodorini and the beginning of Piperita’s obsession with simple, quick and effective appertizers…
Torta alle noci del Perigord, remembering Piperita travels around France…
Cheesecake marmorizzata ai mirtilli and the begginnig of Piperita’s love for Donna Hay…
Pasta al Rocquefort and Piperita’s addiction to fat French cheeses…
Ugly cake and Piperita’s acknowledgement of her limits (it’s not that I didn’t know them before…)…
Roasted fennels and Piperita’s addiction to cheap vegetables…

5 things you shouldn’t/wouldn’t know about me:

1- My real name is Sara Maternini, I was born in Varese, near the Alps, I live in Milan since 2001, I have a Phd in XVII century English History, I own a catering company based in Milan, I have red hair, glasses, I’m quite messy despite my addiction to neat lists (I make them for almost everything…), and I am a pain in the arse… Really, believe me…

2- My former boyfriend married me and my French husband, not because he became a priest (god, no!), but because he was community councillor at the time we had our wedding. And this is still a common joke among shared friends…

3- I do not believe in perfection or its pursuit: I’m human, I often screw up, I make lots of mistake, in the kitchen too…

4- I have an insane addiction to American tv series: if I get hooked by the first episode (and it always happens!) I record each episode and if I can’t see one I get REALLY disappointed. Lately my favourite is Gilmore girls, but I’m madly in love with Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Shepherd (despite the fact that he’s an asshole) and I had an insane passion for E.R.’s Dr. John Carter III… Ah, and of course there are Lost’s Sawyer, Desperate Housewife’s Mike Delfino, Sex&theCity’s Aidan and Mr. Big… But I watch even teens series, as Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The O.C., Everwood… Or series that almost nobody watches, like 7th Heaven, Charmed, Angel, Dark Angel, Alias, Medium… Enough said???

5- I’m exactly how you can see me from my blog… If you don’t like me from the blog, probably you would despise me in true life as well, so you shouldn’t bother to leave nasty comments: you can read something else instead, or maybe you may get a life… Otherwise, if you like my blog you probably would like me in real life, we could become friend and live happily ever after!
