TUSCAN ADVENTURE PART DEUX



by Katrina and Michelle

May 24, 2013


We awoke to a downpour this morning. Quite a bit cooler and most of us do not have quite enough outerwear. This did not stop the prompt rendezvous of all 17 for coffee and croissants AND our practice session. Without pause, we turned on the "Mamma Mia" tune and began our rehearsal softly so as not to disturb sleeping guests. Three run-throughs and we feel ready for tonight. Even the staff is looking forward to this closely guarded secret.

I haven't touched so much on our colleagues. This group has become a close and warm gathering of friends. We change places at each meal to become better acquainted with every person. There is constant laughter and this production effort was accepted unanimously without hesitation by any single individual. I think it rare that we might build these bonds as rapidly as we have and there is much care taking of one another. I am certain Michelle and I will visit with several of these friends in the future.


Patty and Bill have provided a unique, adventurous and fulfilling vacation. We all understand that we a piece of their personal life tour. This part of Tuscany is breathtakingly beautiful and the local residents have been warm and gracious. We were, perhaps, most surprised by the shear amount of food that would be offered to us. Having said that, each venue has been different from the one before it. All of our chef, winery, shopping and "factory" hosts are good friends of the Sutherlands, not simply a source of income.

Our final culinary instruction was held at Belagaggio Agriturismo, a villa owned by a wealthy landowner in Montefollonico.  Five guest room apartments are open to the public as is the main grotto for wedding and other large gala celebrations. The home and gardens are the most beautiful we have seen this trip. There are olive fields, sheep herds and a vineyard. We had three generations from this family - grandmother, mother and daughter - guide us through our cooking tasks. As with all other recipes, there is no exact measurement of any ingredient. They just keep saying you cannot fail. The ricotta/spinach stuffed squash blossoms were dipped in a light batter and fried. We made three different thin-crust  pizzas and an eight- layer lasagna with a delectable meat sauce. One would think that with eight layers of pasta this would be overwhelming heavy. Not so. It was the lightest lasagna I have ever ingested. Tiramisu with espresso-soaked vanilla wafers concluded this culinary feast. As usual, we were served at an elegantly set table with flat and bubbly water, red and white wine. I think the Sutherlands saved the most beautiful setting for last.

The table in the dining room at La Chiusa was strewn with wine glasses and flowers. A bubbly Proseco was served when our group arrived in the week's dressiest attire. This was graduation night. An eight course dinner was far from overwhelming. Each course was very small, beautifully presented and oh so delicioso! Following the antipasti course Michelle rose and pushed the "play" button on the iPad. The melody from "Mamma  Mia" filled the dining room. In a wave from center table to the ends we arose, donned our culinary aprons and began our Tuscan Broadway production. The staff emerged from the kitchen, the other guests quieted down and we burst into song. The confused expressions on Patty and Bill's faces showed that this interruption did not instantly resonated with them. Once we truly had launched they realized they were being serenaded. Tears, embarrassment and laughter followed. We were thrilled for our few days of work paid off.  Bill acknowledged that NO other class had ever honored them this way. We felt warmed by their response. Toasts ensued. As did the operatic voice our of Chinese colleague, 

I-Lin, who sang both an Italian and Chinese stanza from operas. We were in awe. Yes, we were among extraordinary and talented people.

Bill reminded us each day in class that a diploma was awaiting only those who had passed the rigors of his culinary school. We were honored with 100% success when he bestowed Patty's artistically designed diplomas upon each participant.

La Chiusa surprised us with an African drummer, one of their staff. This young, very dark-skinned man teaches disabled men in Siena to play the drums. He involved us in the drum playing, and we all joined in with dance moves. If only you could have seen the smile and pride his face displayed while treating us to a taste of his culture. This went on 'til way past midnight. A farewell and warm affection was exchanged by all who might depart before breakfast.

MICHELLE AND KATRINA'S EXCELLENT COOKING ADVENTURE!!!

 


GUEST BLOGGER : CHEF KATRINA WOLLENBERG
WITH PHOTO BY CHEF MICHELLE MUSALLAM
AT THE TUSCAN WOMAN'S COOKING SCHOOL

May 17, 2013


When you plan for that special vacation everything goes perfectly. Right? Ah, let me start at the beginning. I am leaving today for Tuscany, Italy, with my partner, Michelle, for a dream vacation. All I said 12 months ago was that going to a cooking school in France for six months is on my bucket list. Hers was to go to Portofino, Italy. Michelle asked me if I had ever seen the website for TuscanWomenCook and their feature on a Jane Pauley special. I jumped on the website and discovered that six days in Italy might fill the bucket just a wee bit and Portofino was on the way back to the Milan airport. 

Miles in hand we book our trip from Dallas to Miami to London to Milan Malpensa airports.  Business class and first class. This is definitely the best way to fly unless someone wants to buy my same Serta mattress and  place it in a very dark room on an airplane that doesn't jump, shift or fall from space in turbulence accompanied with a five star chef to serve any li'l ole thing my heart might feel like between Dallas and anywhere in Italy. I also like nice quality  linens and air conditioning. Should the pilot prefer to leave the wing doors open for fresh air that would suit me just fine. 

May 18, 2013


Our flight to Miami was uneventful but we end up on a much delayed flight from Miami to London Heathrow.  I watch as each traveller gets more and more haggard. After three hours the frustration and anger are gone. There are just boundless weary soles. The gentleman sitting opposite us in the lounge is from Beirut. He knows he has  missed his connecting flight and hopes AA will rebook for next day. Michelle already has us booked on two future flights, just in case (ie:AA falls down on its rebooking job.)  By the way, if you ever consider buying an entry to the AA first class lounge in Miami you will discover an unkempt lounge where staff is non-existent, and the only free food is stale celery, carrots and tomatoes.  

What a difference a change in continents makes. British AA staff greet us with 138 rebooked tickets upon arrival handled with exceptional speed. A first class British lounge offers elegantly dressed staff and plenty of them, complimentary beverages of any kind, hot soup, sandwiches, cheese, fruit and a full table of desserts. All fit for a Queen.


Our rebooking took us to Milan Linate airport, 50 km from the original destination and three hours later (9:30 pm). The rental car at Malpensa had to be cancelled and the single available rental car on site cost twice as much as my first booking. New 6 speed stick shift with no satellite reception and a major downpour meant we head out into traffic not knowing our way. With unabashed bravery we spot the only open gas station at 11:30 pm and are immediately set on the right autostrada to Parma. At 1:30 am on Sunday we try to close our eyes and sleep.




Sleep has been elusive and the time change difficult to surmount rapidly. We are grateful for our 10 am start at our first class right here at La Chiusa in their professional kitchen. The proprietress and head chef is Dania, a glamorous woman who believes her skills improve  wearing Prada and stilettos while she works. She speaks Italian but her words are immediately translated by a young Tuscan by the name of Christine. We are presented with small glass bowls of cooked and strained beets and spinach. "Now, make your first design on your plates. Food will look more appetizing surrounded with flowers!" This start just made my day. Not that I am so creative but this unleashed a sense of childhood coloring that brought laughter around the table. Dania began with the blending of fresh ricotta, pepper, garlic and nutmeg which we piped from pastry bags into fresh squash blossoms. A little lemon, olive oil, garlic and pine nuts on top and into the oven for 10 minutes they went.  Homemade zucchini risotto was started with Carnaroli instead of Arborio rice. Less stickiness and a lovely nutty flavor make this dish unique. Next came the seasoning of free range chicken pieces and into the huge sauté pan. This would be tossed with finely chopped celery, carrots and tomatoes once the chicken had cooked. Several of us were transported downstairs to the pasta room. We observed and helped assist making stuffed raviolis and pici pasta (more on that later). Back in the main kitchen we participated in the making of caramel ice cream, spun caramel nests and glazed strawberries to go on top of the ice cream. When all was done we sat in the main dining room and were served by professional staff with endless wine. People are quickly abandoning the white wines in favor of the local reds.

We discover that each afternoon we are whisked away with Patty at the helm full of local history and places to sightsee. Pope Pious II's summer home of the 1400's was turned into a hot springs bath. Thousands flood there each year to "take the waters". How odd to see a Ducati motorcycle suspended over the pool water in preparation for an upcoming sponsored event. A shopping tour of Pienza of Pecorino cheese fame wrapped up the afternoon just in time to head to dinner. This amazing eat-a-thon is becoming overwhelming. We need to learn fast not to eat much at each of the many courses but the camaraderie and friendships are building fast.

May 21, 2013

Today we began with a brisk walk into town in the rain for a cafe at the Sport Bar. It is cooler than a typical May spring as it has been in the USA. However the roses are profuse and the air pungent with their floral scent. 
Our class is held at the restaurant we dined at last night, 13 Gobbi. It is tiny so two larger tables are staged in the "main" dining room with 17 cutting boards circling the tables. We have two local chefs, one young and the other in her seventies. One woks in a bowl, the other creates a volcano for the flour she will mix. This is pasta day. A blend of "0" flour, oil, water a couple of eggs disappear under the capable hands of these women. They talk about the muscles they build with the kneading of the dough and host, Bill, warns us not to get into an arm wrestling match. They will win. The rolling process is fascinating with a four foot rolling pin. Always start from the center and roll out. When you are ready to turn the dough, begin by rolling the dough closest to you over the pin just to the center point of your circle. Roll back and forth with hand pressure from the center of the pin towards the outside. Take hold of the outside of the pin, raise it off the board and with a sharp flipping motion spin the dough so it slaps over and down on the cutting board surface. Repeat this flipping motion several times. Turn the pin a quarter turn, unfurl the dough and continue rolling out the dough always beginning from the center. Repeat the rolling and flipping motion until the dough is paper thin. Our chef then cut 4" x 1/2" slices from the dough. Using our right palm only we were to use a rolling motion while pulling the dough string with our left hand. The "string" will eventually become two feet long and the thickness of a slender pencil. Doubling the string and holding it in two hands you slap the strung on the table much like you might slap a jump rope. You have just made "pici"  (pronounced "peachy"), a string pasta served all over Tuscany. When it is cooked it will usually be served with a meat and tomato sauce. This pasta making is followed by pappardelle, same blending process but flat, wider noodles are the outcome. The kitchen is about 10' x 10' so only four of us at a time could assist with the grilled vegetables and chicken dishes. 
Nap time is de riguer and much needed. Our bus arrives for a drive across the valley to Cortona, a less hilly and more industrial community. This is where the book "Under the Tuscan Sun" was written. We visit the a monastery where 7 friars still manage the agriculture and then shop in the charming village. Our bus takes us to olive oil tasting and dinner at Walter Redaelli's Ristorante in Bettolle. It is elegant and offers luxurious hotel rooms.  PS: do not use olive oils that are dated more than two years old!
By now we are so comfortable with every one in our group. There is tremendous camaraderie and laughter spills forth on each occasion. Our major complaint is that we are all eating wayyyyyy too much food. How to stop?

 
May 22, 2013 

This is our early departure day for a tour of Florence. We will be joined by two guides in the city, Ann and Francesca. We begin at the central food market. It is a blaze of color and a feast for the eyes. Cheese stands, olive oil and meat stalls, olive, fish, bread, dessert and chocolate shops line up one after another. Customers are in a hurry and shop keepers are bustling to and fro. We are given a balsamic tasting and learn to differentiate the depth of a 25 year old balsamic from the 12 year old variety. Try investing in one bottle of 18 - 25 years. Brush it on a grilled peach or fig. Dining in heaven must be like this. Avoid all balsamic where the first ingredient is red wine vinegar. It is acceptable here to reduce 5 year old balsamic as long as it is an authentic Italian balsamic. 
Shopping and a walking tour of the Duomo remind us how exquisite Florence truly is. This city most certainly deserves a long stay in order to grapple with so much of its beautiful history and architecture.
We are happy to see our driver at 5:00 pm and most of us fall asleep for the slow 2 hour drive back to Montefollonico. We pull up to the home of our hosts, Patty and Bill, who offer us a huge fresh salad and pizza. It is just what the doctor ordered. Their farm house sits atop a hill with a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys. They live on the second floor as the ground floor retains the original stalls and feed containers for cows. As many Tuscans do, they press their own wine and make olive oil from their olive trees. You do not need fields of either to have your own supply. The home interior has been transformed to a rustic but elegant coziness. Patty's artistic talent is everywhere from hand-painted tiles in the kitchen to her jewelry workroom where bracelets and necklaces adorn tables and bureaus.  We all quickly realize how much true artistic talent runs through her blood. Her designs are superb.
I forgot to mention that our group has decided to put on a small farewell production Friday evening at dinner. This will be our last gathering and, under Michelle's leadership, we have taken the liberty of rewriting the words to "Mamma Mia." This will be our final thank you gift to Bill and Patty.  As tired as we are Michelle writes and prints 17 copies for our planned practice session at 8:00 am tomorrow. More on the production later. Bona sera.

May 23, 2013
This morning we met for a rehearsal of our production at breakfast. My this has become a dedicated group! Ok, it sounds a bit shaky now but we still have 36 more hours until show time. 

Our chef leader, Isa, has been the most efficient cook yet. We were warned that she moves quickly and she does. She can multitask like no one else. She had us making minestrone soup, eggplant parmesan, full  roasted pork, individual spinach and potato soufflé and panna cotta with fruit and chocolate sauce. Her presentations were beautiful and the food rich in flavor.



A short rest ended with a trip to a small cheese factory. Here we sampled cheese that will not keep more than two weeks to those, like a 2 year old pecorino, that will keep for a year.  A wine tasting at Innocenti took place just behind the ancient wine storage building and house Vittorio Innocenti calls home. His family has produced wines for seven  hundred years. It is still a small vineyard at 35,000 bottles a year but some of his wine is distributed in the USA. His production is primarily from Sangiovese grapes.



Now you know we still had a dinner to consume. This evening it was in the wine cellar of La Botte Piena in Montefollonico. It was a series of small plates which just tricked us into thinking we weren't eating a lot. Phooey!



 (updates will be added ...so revisit this blog post under travel)

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS ON ENTITLEMENT!!!


 
 
Leave it to an underpaid--rumpled English teacher to nail the generation
of entitlement. Great article in Time magazine that says boomers are the
me generation and our off springs are the me-me-me generation.
 
I have to say that I totally contributed to that very concept of making our kids
feel special. We gave trophy's to the whole baseball team, even the girls
that stood out in the outfield counting butterflies. We told our kids their
art work was brilliant. I even came across some art I had actually had
framed. What the hell was wrong with me? But fess up we all did it...we
made our children feel so important...they were the epicenter of our lives
and they knew it. Our Halloween costumes were worthy of the Academy
Awards and our parties for them were epic. 
 
But just because Mommy says you're a princess doesn't mean you have a snowballs
chance in hell of snagging Prince Harry. And as for our sons. Pretty sure their
stint on the guitar wasn't going to land them on the Grammy's So why did we
do this? My kids even went to a private school where they didn't have a Prom
Queen. Really? Way to weed out the haves from the have-nots.
 
So as they get older they text and tweet and instagram and pinterest and do all
 those things that continue this "you are a star " theory. And then what? An
amazing study said that most people under thirty would rather be an assistant
to a famous person rather than a senator. OMG. And then there are the Kardashians--
famous for doing nothing., Yet still millionaires and still famous. What a
conundrum.
 
I personally think the train left the station. Our kids are just going to have to figure
for themselves. Don't get me wrong, there are thousands and thousands of wonderful
young adults out their. Yes, some feel a little too entitled. Some of them have
an attitude problem. But life has a funny way of teaching you things. I'm learning
them every day and no one told me I was a princess!!!! 
it out Dee

A TALE FROM THE MOM FILES!!!!


Outline in black and white of
 
 
I wasn't the little girl that planned her wedding with the precision of a
drill Sergeant, so it should come as no surprise that I really didn't give much
thought either to children. Didn't really like them. I was so focused on
my career and pursuing my "causes" and living my life for the moment.
When I first found out I was pregnant after three years of marriage, I was
frankly, pretty shocked.  A  fancy flower arrangement with a cabbage
plant was delivered to the newsroom that said "the rabbit died." I thought
I had a urinary tract infection!
 
Frankly I was scared to death. What if I didn't like  my own child? What if
I wasn't cut out to be a mother. My husband always thought I'd be great at it.
I wasn't so sure.  But I kept on working and hoping and when my firstborn
arrived I was absolutely shocked that I would fall in love with this little
guy. Before I had my second child , I sat in the car and cried. I was afraid
I couldn't love the second one because I loved the first one so much.  Totally
besotted and in love with child number two, another son. By the time our
little girl came I was just just getting comfortable and I was in love again with
this perfect little angel .
 
I am so proud to be a mother. To be a significant force in the lives of three  little
individuals. What an honor and what a responsibility. I was never the perfect
mother, but I sure as hell tried. I made sure I always volunteered at school and
let them make our house their playground. My suburban was always full, my
kitchen always hopping and the bedrooms full of friends.
 
My friend Lola Hall once told me that when you have children you are then in
touch with the universe, you will feel connected forever. It's true. My kids are
grown. The last one in college and my sons successful in their chosen fields. I
feel very blessed. First of all that they made it so far with me as their mom, and
second that we all survived, mostly in tact.
 
Thanks guys, for giving me the best job I never knew I wanted. You have taught
me more than you can ever know. You have made me a better person, a more
creative soul, and you certainly have improved my culinary skills and my prowess
with a glue gun.  I adore you all and I love you more than you will ever know.
Thank you for the privilege on being your Mom today on Mother 's Day, and every day..

ARE YOU A DIVA?????


 
 
I really don't think I've ever been a  diva...do you feel the same? Attention makes me
nervous and to be be honest I always felt like a little bit of a fake in front of the   
camera. Now writing....totally confident.  But a diva...not so much.
 
Divas are kind of like witches...they are good divas and bad divas. I suspect we've all
been exposed to both. The original divas are on the stage opera singers. You know
those larger than life ladies with the big hair and even  bigger bosoms. But at least you
know who they are and they are easy to identify. It doesn't work that way in real life.
I have always been a little shocked that some of the mousy looking gals are the
biggest divas ever.
 
A bad diva is the one who is needy, always has to be the center of attention and are
for the most part high maintenance, demanding and so self involved it makes your head spin.
A good diva may adore the limelight...but they are also willing to stand up for their
friends and ,well, lets face it  they bring a lot of dazzle to any event.
 
All divas have a sense of entitlement and they know when they demand a better table,
ask for a raise or tell their partner exactly what they want for their birthday ....they
deserve it. Their attitude comes from their knowledge that they're worth it. Which is not
a bad concept ladies.
 
A furniture designer band (who shall remain nameless) told me she only sold a few pieces
when she charged $300 for her work. But lo-and-behold when she jacked them up to
over a thousand...they sold like hotcakes. There's  truth to how we value ourselves.
 
So while I'm not advocating turning into a stark raging bitch....we might want to
think a little more of ourselves. After all we know what we're worth...and it doesn't hurt
to remind others just exactly what that means.

HAPPY CINCO YA'ALL WITH SUE'S COUSIN SHERRY'S SPECIAL SALSA!!!!


Fresh Tomato Salsa (photo)


SOOOO GOOD!!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo ya'all!!! No one knows salsa better than
chicks from Madill ,Oklahoma. Mexican food in itself is actually
a food group there. And no one knows salsa like my good friend Sue's
cousin Sherry. I've actually had people who own restaurants ask for the
recipe. And believe me that doesn't happen to me very often.

So here it is.....from a half Mexican Brit who doesn't even speak  Spanish
but knows a good salsa when she sees one. Happy Happy Cinco to you.
Believe me you will be singing Ricky Martin songs and doing the macarana.

2 cans Rotel tomatoes
1 medium can stewed tomatoes
2 cucumbers peeled and diced
2 large fresh tomatoes peeled and diced
1 small bunch of green onions,diced
1 Rotel can white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp sweet basil
1 ts garlic pepper
1 tsp thyme

Place Rotel tomatoes, canned tomatoes and all spices in the
food processor. Process a few seconds to chop and blend. Add
white vinegar and sugar, process a few more seconds. Ass diced
fresh vegetables and process a few seconds more. Add salt to taste
and /or Tabasco. Makes two quarts. Will stay in fridge for a long time.


Special thanks to the Madill A Taste of Heaven Cookbook from the
First United Methodist Church.
