Dear Kiva, is a lot that I do not see you step from your blog. These beautiful Italian food, are so real, that I make myself a question: you do so well for these foods, you must have eaten ... but how do you remain so pretty lean? kisses Lia from Italy
Thanks Marisa :-)! You know, I have tried using other materials, thinly shaved baked clay included, and I've found nothing that looks "herby" enough...except for real herbs! I just chop, chop, chop!! After I raid the kitchen cupboard ;-).
Awww Lia, bless your heart!! I tried to join your blog but I can't find the link?
You are so sweet! I have traveled a lot since I was a small child. Italy is one of my favorite countries, and of course, the food is DIVINE!! I tend to look at a lot of googled pictures and I have a collection of cookbooks!
About the weight thing- I get asked this a lot, haha!! I wake up, exercise, have my biggest meal of the day in the afternoon, work into the night (I do take naps every day, though), have a little something to eat again, then go back to work until the wee hours of the night. Sometimes I don't eat as well as I should because my hours are SO wonky, but when I do sit down to tuck into a meal, I do it with gusto, believe me ;-)!! Mom is a great cook, and here in Hawaii, there is no shortage of good eats!!
Long admirer of your food creations they are just so realistic! Also yes I can vouch the no shortage of good eats in Hawaii. I had the best fish when I was there a couple years ago.
Thank you Alexandra! I'm off to check yours out in a few minutes. I apologize for taking so long to respond- I've had an icepick headache for THREE days :-O!!
Thank you, Jennybee!! Wow, you build from SCRATCH!! I love that cottage you're constructing! I have builder's envy- I wish I could work with wood and make structures and all those little details. Hell, I can't even make something from a kit :-/.
(blushing) I'm just a baby in the mini world but thanks! I'm constantly showing my husband your blog and going do you see that!!! Its miniand this big... LOL
