Good evening everyone!
As I sit here in front of my computer with a green mud mask on, I am thinking of my exciting weekend ahead.
So how about a little Tuscan food tonight?
Oh wait, you want to know what is so exciting right?

I have to put on my Sunday’s best, because I am meeting a very special friend on Friday..a blogging friend whom we go back BB (before blogging). I am going to say it is over two years now since we have first virtually met on HGTV/RMS
I just kinda sprung it on her last week, that we would be passing her exit on our way down to visit another friend.
Did I mention I cut my own bangs too, and they are mussed up now?
Oh well….that is totally something I would do before any big day.
Lucy, is pretty excited,
and all I have to do is mention go BYE ,BYE in the car and she is running to the door.
She is going to meet a blogging dog too you know.

I know my friend , well enough by now, and she is busy, busy, busy, cleaning, decorating, who knows what she is painting by the time we get there…
Hopefully her Mr. is NOT working too hard.

It is only us, and we are only there for a short but very sweet visit.

| Hope you enjoyed the meal! |
Here is the recipe.

| I did not add the pancetta this time. I did last time and it was delicious, but even without it, it is. |
Can’t wait Kim! See you Friday around noonish!
I have to say I kinda feel like a kid going to the North Pole or something for the first time. The anticipation is killer! In a good way…

Have a wonderfully fun trip!!!
Gorgeous table setup! Not to mention that your dining table looks wonderful! Have a beautiful day, Kellie xx
YUM! South Beach dieting here. NO bread or pasta, two of my favorites. I could eat that whole loaf of bread by myself.

YUMMY dish and beautiful tablescape! Love all of your blue accents (especially your glasses)! And, how fun you'll get to meet Kim … I know it feels as though you two are old buds. And, you're right, she's probably painting and decorating away in anticipation for your visit! LOL

Dee
I expect to see images of the two of you lounging around that amazing sunroom of Kims. lol 🙂
Can't wait to read about your visit. I could dine at your table anytime. The recipe looks delicious but I wouldn't be able to prepare it at my house. Hubby has a chicken curse-he's allergic to chicken! Yeah, I know, it's weird!
Dinner sure looked good! Have fun on your little visit. Don't say anything bad about me when you're chatting about other bloggers, okay? LOL I have to keep up the illusion about my perfection! hugs, Sue
You dare mention Lucy yet offer up no photo???
I'm sure you gals are going to have a total blast!
Oh have fun! Sounds like a delightful time. Love your wonderful tuscan table (& food!)
Yum! 🙂
I thought I was already a follower… but apparently not… 🙁 But I am now!
Have a great weekend!
