The Other Initial Inspiration: D's Kitchen (Blog #0)

Three Fairy Godmothers? Dalia from D's Kitchen and mastermind behind the renowned Kitsch Cupcakes (far right) making it all look so freaking effortless.  Make me a believer! 

Before I get on about Under The Tuscan Gun, I should share with you that the person who really gave me the proverbial kick in the butt into Franck's Kitchen was a lady by the name of Dalia. For the latest issue of Unfair Magazine, we decided to do a food page and gave it to Dalia, the chef behind D's Kitchen AND the famous Kitsch cupcakes. Like any journalist, I did my homework and that's how I ended up on her food blog. 


Gasp - Dalia was not only beautiful, a successful entrepreneur, with a bundle of gorgeous friends and an adoring husband... but she also cooked.. and appeared to enjoy it (?!?).  After warning her that we didn't want a page full of recipes (because if we don't cook, do our readers?), she wrote us a fantastic guide on what to order when at the restaurant. BUT I admit, that after visiting her blog, I was intrigued. So one night, I ...drumroll please... COOKED PASTA.


Yes! I actually made a pasta sauce, and it was delicious. Now - I don't expect it to turn out right every time, but this time it did... and even though I iron my man's shirts every Sunday and clean the house head to toe (because surprisingly, I love cleaning and find it therapeutic) when Franck ate his pasta... he gave me those googly eyes and said: "Thank you baby." Ok, it was more like, "Merci mon bébé, chérie d'amour" (oh the French). That's right ladies, you can change the sheets 100 times, and fold a trillion loads of laundry, but sometimes it takes just cooking your man a meal, for him to be grateful. This revelation, brought to me on the wings of D's Kitchen is what really launched this blog. I'm not sure where it will take me, but Franck is happy - thus far anyway.
