Gawd I wish these fantasy menus would become a reality!

Every time you post a menu and I desire something from it, it'd appear when I wish for it. I wish for that mushrooms and pasta with lots of grated parmigiano-reggiano. Today's vegetarian menu is fabulous.

I love cheese and Gjetost is my favourite of them all. I find its use immeasurable I use it for sandwiches, casseroles, fondue, snacking... well anything that's called for cheese.

[ummmm]

That would be fab :-) Do you deliver?

[chokkie]

tonight's menu is Fegato alla Veneziana with mashed potatoes and broccolli. Fresh peaches and apricots for dessert!

[merciasounds]

I hope it's humanely treated veal chokkie, and not crated!!
