323/365: I eyeballed this beef stew, just throwing in what needed to go (half an onion, a shallot, that pound of stewing beef from the freezer, potatoes, carrots, and those little tomatoes I had not eaten.) Added vegetable broth, white wine and seasonings liberally.

319/365: the saucers at Dolce Sicilia say "Siete nel luogo in cui la vostra giornata inizia bene e finisce meglio." According to my translator, this means "You are in the place where your day starts off well and ends better."

308/365: Cooking food to share with friends is love in action. I made German food for my friends last night, a meal reminiscent of my childhood: beef stewed with bell peppers and crushed tomatoes, boiled potatoes, peas and carrots.
