Hi Catherine, Just want to tell you that I am having a problem with leaving you a comment. Seems the white part of the comment area moves to the right leaving part white and the rest black. So I can only see what I am writing part of the screen. Also on my side bar, I am still not getting the updates, but I did get an email this morning from the subscription. Anyway I love you recipe, and I really like the anchovy. I have done the same thing and the anchovy melts but it leaves the best flavor.... Love the spinach, peppers, and of course the cheese is amazing. Thanks for sharing....Blessings on your day...Dottie 🙂
Living the Gourmet says
Hi Dottie 🙂 So lovely to hear from you.
Hmmm well this sounds like a new issue. I know some readers were experiencing a white on white effect when leaving a comment, but I don't know why the margins are acting up now. This whole moving to WP thing has been one migraine after another. Eek! ...well, all I can suggest for now is to clear your internet cache and see if that helps. I'll be looking into it in the meantime, so let me know if the issue persists.
As far as the updates go, I just went to your site and saw that our latest post is indeed there on your sidebar, so I'm going to say it's updating as it should. Unless I misunderstood, and you were referring to something else.
Thanks again for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

This sounds wonderful! I make something similar but mine doesn't have the wine and I love the addition of wine to pasta. A must try for my husband and my "dinner alone" night!

Hello Gloria! So lovely to hear from you dear.
I just took a look and it seems as if our blog is keeping itself updated on your sidebar. I know the feed has been broken but I was able to resolve that issue two days ago...from what I've heard it sounds like it's working ok for now and the links are going out. Thank you for subscribing too!
If however the links do not update going forward with our new posts, let me know and I will check it out.
Wishing you a lovely weekend. Stay warm!
xo,
Tammy<3

Michelle says
This is such a pretty, elegant dish.
And you are right about cooking. I'm not good at giving "things." I agonize over shopping for gifts for people. I'd rather show them how I feel by spending time cooking a heartfelt meal!
