Welcome!<\/p>\n
AuntiePasto is a food blog, basically put together after the thirty-fifth or so person told me, “You ought to have a food blog.” Not that that’s a bad thing \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it’s a place for me (Leanne Opaskar) to keep my recipes and foodie thoughts and so forth, which until now have been scattered hither and yon across the Internet.<\/p>\n
The site doesn’t have any particular focus right now, though that may change in the future. There are some ongoing themes, particularly, “What do I do with THAT?” and “There’s Too Much STUFF in My Fridge.”<\/p>\n
Other things I’ll probably write about include:<\/p>\n
and whatever else strikes my fancy at the time. But mostly food.<\/p>\n
About me: I’m a fourth-generation Italian-American (well, with a smidge of Portuguese), a native Californian, and aside from my years at college, I’ve spent most of my life in the blessedly sunny city of San Diego. I admit to being utterly spoiled by our weather and our access to fantastic fresh ingredients year-round.<\/p>\n
