Sometimes you really wish you could travel back in time just to take a peek a how life was. But back to the food; your pasta with goat cheese and bell peppers looks so good and that touch of parsley makes you want to eat it out of the screen ... the only reason I didn't try that is that I just ate dinner :)Chris's Gourmet Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955386086799383219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-76027626131706582182011-04-24T18:29:46.134-05:002011-04-24T18:29:46.134-05:00Your family memories are held in good hands.
