CAPPUCCINO BREAK... I couldn't have found a better moment to start blogging!

Today is a gray day, my husband is fully immersed in his job, a couple of hours ago a friend left after a short visit and now he's probably halfway to Munich, and I need a break from my thoughts … “What can I do that can also distract my husband a bit, too?”       

  

“Yes! A cappuccino is definitely what we need!!!” I thought, and when I placed the the hot cup on the table next to my computer, a light bulb turned on and I heard a little voice say, “Why don't use this break to finally start blogging?” Oh yes! What a great idea! :)              

I have been wanting to write on my blog since the very day I opened it, but for one reason or another, I always had to postpone my wish and do what was more necessary at that moment. To tell you the truth, I almost thought that this moment would never have come. But I 'm happy to announce that I was totally wrong! :) I need to open a little parenthesis here because every time I use the word “totally,” I think of the movie “The Lorax,” which I highly recommend watching if you haven't done it yet, and the protagonist of the animated movie who utters firmly, “No, I totally did it!” when he gives his birthday present to the girl he's in love with. I love the way he pronounces “totally” and I'm sure that if you watch that movie, the adverb “totally” (wow, I said “adverb” I sure my husband, whom I call Aunt Josephine and I'll explain you why in another moment, is going to be very proud of me) will never have the same sound for you, too. :)

Anyway, going back to this blog, I plan to write and post so many things here that I don't even know where to start. Most of all, I have to admit that I don't know much of the whole world about blogs, I have zero experience in this field and probably a lot to learn, but this is what makes the whole thing so exciting! :)

Many friends of mine have been pushing me in this direction for so many years that I simply lost count. Some of them kept on saying that I should have opened a blog where I talk about my passion for cooking and baking and share all my recipes with the web community.

Others friends were more interested in trying to convince me to open a blog about my creations and drawings and maybe to upload some pictures of what I create and write about the “behind the scenes” of the whole process. And then, a third group of friends was constantly asking me to give them some advice about good books to read.

Therefore, I decided to combine all my friends' wishes and open a blog in which I would have talked about the above mentioned topics, plus my thousands other interests. :)

It will surely take me a while to give a consistent and interesting shape to my blog, but I'll work hard on it and I hope to finally fulfill my friends' requests and hope you'll have a nice time reading my posts and maybe trying out some of the recipes/ideas/etc... I'll share here.
