thanks, my daughter turned 4 so she didn't care too much but the cake
i can tell you that the parents of her friends, in other word my friends
liked it a lot
satisfying first Cathy request here is the beans recipe
this recipe is a way i prepare beans and serve them as side dish, it has the same creamy aspect of the beans that as kid i saw spaghetti western cowboys eat with a big chunk of bread as spoon
Ingredients:
1kg boiled white beans you can use a can of white beans, possibly one which has nothing more than water, salt and obiously beans)
150g bacon
100g tomato (fresh or peeled)
1 piece of celery
1 garlic clove
1 chili pepper
extra vergin olive oil
Chop the bacon in small cubes, smash the garlic clove with the aid of a kitchen knife blade.
Put in a pan the a splash of olive oil, bacon, garlic, celery and chili pepper. When the garlic will start getting brown, add beans and tomato, mix them, then add a glass of hot water, cover the pot, and let it cook. We want to reach a point in which the sauce becomes creamy.
When you are happy of the result it's tiiiiime to eat!
Buon Appetito!
