There are times when my deeply
instilled love for efficiency and ability to visually 'Tetris' things comes in
handy, as was the case one weekend this September where I managed to pack what
was essentially a generous helping from each aisle of an entire No Frills grocery store into the trunk of my friend's tiny car.
My European roots (and
likely my love for leftovers) translated into a menu that could easily serve an
Italian family reunion but was meant instead to nourish a group of very special
women who gathered together for three days in an old house called Loretto Maryholme on the shores of
Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.
Let me tell you how we got there...
