In Cucina... In The Kitchen...

 Being in the kitchen makes me happy.   Making old recipes,  family recipes,  and creating new recipes...  I had not made Tarallini Pugliesi before,  but after  my last trip to Italy I knew that I would be making them soon.  Nobody in the family seems to make them because all they have to do is go to the nearest Panificio and buy a bag full... I do not have that luxury.  I have tried a few different recipes ,  the last one is pretty good... still searching,  but in the meantime,  these were fun to make.   I've especially enjoyed making more  Laminated Doughs lately,  Homemade Brioche and Puff Pastry made into delicious dessert,  breakfast treats,  or savory appetizers makes those items even better.
