He is such a nerc though isn't he? Anyway, love your version of Bolognese with the livers. I made Batali's recipe which is more straightforward, but also tuned out good.Foodjunkiehttp://foodjunkie.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-89853024424539682642010-12-04T10:50:09.051+00:002010-12-04T10:50:09.051+00:00Simona - thanks!

Aside from my senior moment, I enjoyed your review (and as a former English teacher enjoyed being reminded of the bildungsroman genre). Glad you enjoyed the Bolognese sauce. I love it but am always wary when I see it on a menu as it's usually not the real deal.Arlene Dellorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077411606585700138noreply@blogger.com
