And so it begins.......

Well yesterday I went a little crazy in the kitchen. Fancy that, eh! I woke up and immediately demanded that I produce a little easter treat seeing as I wasn't prepared to waste money buying said treats from the grocery giants. Have a cuppa I said, but this thing takes forever I said, and I don't want to be full of afternoon tea when I want to be settling down for dinner I said. (NB: I have developed a (un?)healthy habit of talking to myself over the years, mayhaps blogging will ease that ailment?). So I got to work, and quickly before it turned into an argument.


So what exactly am I talking (to myself) about? Gubana.....or Il Forno (small snail) It's an Italian Celebration Bread/Cake thing-o. And it's pretty special to eat I must say. I kind of melded a few recipe ideas, but mostly just followed the recipe posted at http://www.citrusandcandy.com/2010/03/gubana-sweet-italian-easter-bread.html Thanks citrusandcandy!
