Chicken piccata was once one of those things I would order at any Italian eatery to feel fancy. Later it became something I’d order to determine the authenticity of any Italian eatery. Now I don’t see it on menus anymore. Right, like I’ve been perusing…
Yes. It’s me. I haven’t written in a while. There’s no recipe to follow. Why? Because I’m just not in the mood. That’s it. It’s been a year since the pandemic hit and during this time blogging about food has been the last thing on…
