Hope you are having a great and relaxing weekend. Rainy and dreary here, but no complaints as it makes it a great excuse for a lazy Sunday. I hope all those who were in Matthew&#8217;s path are safe, as that was one massive storm. There is simply no going up against mother nature. Her wrath is one to always prepare for, we sure learned that over here with Sandy.<\/p>\n<p>We were supposed to be away for a North Fork wine weekend with good friends but the weather sadly did not cooperate so we are going to have to make it for another one, hopefully soon!

I love all white anything and a wedding is the perfect event for an all white color scheme. Maybe it&#8217;s a blessing in disguise I didn&#8217;t have a daughter after all&#8230;I cannot imagine me planning her wedding, it would keep me up for months, lol.<\/p>\n<p>But an all white wedding is one &#8220;sure thing&#8221; and this one with flower overload is simply amazing!!

A MOST DELICIOUS SOUP! I posted this on Instagram last week and many asked for the recipe so here it is. This is a hearty soup which could double as a meal&#8230;.it is so tasty. I make this over and over from fall to end of winter, and it&#8217;s always a huge hit.<\/p>\n<p>The pancetta gives it an amazing flavor and if you can get a seasoned quart of fresh tomato sauce, that is preferable (even at a place at Whole Foods), vs. getting a canned tomato sauce. Add a nice loaf of crusty french bread and you are in business-<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/unDDnamed.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46367\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/unDDnamed-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"unddnamed\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/unss3named.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46368\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/unss3named-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"unss3named\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">PASTA FAGIOLE SOUP<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">6-8 garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Olive oil<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">3-4 slices of pancetta (cut in 2&#8243; pieces)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">2 large or 3 med. carrots (diced)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">1-2 stalks of celery (diced)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">2 shallots<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">About 1-1 1\/2 cups of chicken stock (to taste)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">1 container of fresh tomato sauce (1 quart) or 1 large can of stewed or tomato puree (seasoned with salt, pepper and basil)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Fresh Thyme<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">2-3 bay leaves<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">1\/2 cup Parmesan<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">2-3 cans Cannellini beans ( I use 3)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">2 -3 Tbsp heavy cream<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Half a box of ditalini (or any very small pasta)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Heat your olive oil in a large soup pot, add garlic and cook for about 5 min.

Saute for about 5 min add your chicken stock and tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Let cook for about 30 min. Add beans with heavy cream, season to taste with salt, pepper and Parmesan. Let cook at least another 30 min, I let mine cook for a few hours on lowest setting possible. At this point boil your pasta in a separate pot and drain once they are still a little crunchy (very al dense).<\/p>\n<p>I always keep the pasta on the side in a little Ziploc bag until I am ready to serve then I add a small amount to each bowl of piping hot soup. I cannot stand mushy pasta in soup so this way its perfect!\u00a0 Serve piping hot with toasted crusty bread, garnish liberally with freshly grated Parmesan. Freezes very well too&#8230;enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4. DEAL OF THE WEEK! Had to alert everyone of this amazing deal on this very Chanel-ish jacket.

ANOTHONY BOURDAIN&#8217;S LITTLE SECRETS ABOUT THE RESTAURANT BIZ. Interesting and believe me I am taking notes! Found the video of a younger Bourdain most interesting&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Hxm88aUoXM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 body-el-h2 standard-body-el-h2 anim-in-view\">1. Most restaurants recycle their bread.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">Since the first rule of classical cooking is to &#8220;waste nothing,&#8221; Bourdain says if a busboy sees a basket of untouched bread, he&#8217;ll probably bring it back to the kitchen to serve again later. Hey, at least this means you don&#8217;t have to feel guilty about leaving a few rolls behind.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 body-el-h2 standard-body-el-h2 anim-in-view in-view\">2. Hollandaise sauce is a risky order.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">Turns out, the raw eggs in this brunch staple are very attractive to bacteria. &#8220;Any place that makes hollandaise should throw it out about every hour and make a fresh batch, otherwise it can hurt you,&#8221; he says. You might want to consider this the next time you order Eggs Benedict.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 body-el-h2 standard-body-el-h2 anim-in-view in-view\">3. Seafood is freshest from Tuesday to Friday.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">Bourdain says most wholesale seafood markets are closed on the weekends and some chefs like to unload what&#8217;s leftover onto their Monday customers. &#8220;So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, you are more likely to get a fresher, more impeccable piece of seafood. That&#8217;s when I eat my fish,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 body-el-h2 standard-body-el-h2 anim-in-view in-view\">4. Brunch is all about the scraps.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">Even though Bourdain admits he hates cooking brunch, any cost-conscious chef knows it&#8217;s a genius way to use up Saturday night&#8217;s scraps and &#8220;charge $14.95 for two eggs,&#8221; as he puts it. &#8220;Brunch offers the dubious benefit of being able to unload one&#8217;s little odd bits into cute dishes like seafood frittata, seafood salad vinaigrette,&#8221; he explains.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 body-el-h2 standard-body-el-h2 anim-in-view in-view\">5. Bathrooms reveal the quality of your meal.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">Can you really trust that blue &#8220;A&#8221; near the front door? Bourdain recommends going straight to the bathroom and taking a look around. If it&#8217;s clean and tidy, he says that&#8217;s a good sign \u2014 but if it&#8217;s filthy, he says that&#8217;s bad news for your meal to come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. BOOKS. Doing my best to get back to reading, which I love but frankly have little time for. A few books on my nightstand that are being hailed as a few of the best books of the year, have you read them?<\/p>\n<p>This first one is supposed to be really good, so I ordered it. I had read her other book, Where&#8217;d You Go and really liked it, it was a book club choice. The witty and engaging author used to write for sitcoms like Mad About You, Arrested Development and more.

There were two seats, both which were occupied by two men.<\/p>\n<p>A <em>very<\/em> pregnant woman walks up to the long line, looking exhausted before she even started waiting. I am talking, looks like she was due any day or carrying twins! I waited and wondered how long it would take for either of these two men to offer her their seat. DID NOT HAPPEN. I was incensed!<\/p>\n<p>I was stunned and really wanted to go over to say something, I grew up with a dad and married a husband who would have within seconds insisted she take their seat so to witness this to me, was foreign.
