Heart #105 goes to...Skinny Italian by Teresa Giudice

Heart #105 goes to...Skinny Italian by Teresa GiudiceLove, love, love this book.  And that is how Teresa Giudice signed my book this past Tuesday at her book signing at Limoncello Restaurant in Mamaroneck, NY.  She was fashionably late, not too much, but that gave me time to skim through most of the cookbook.  It's filled with color pictures and tons of stories told Teresa style.  She's funny.  And she also sets the record straight on how to pronounce her last name..."It's not Jew-Dice, as Andy Cohen of Bravo says, but more "JUDY-CHAY" said very fast with the emphasis on JUThanks Teresa, because I was pronouncing it wrong and so was everyone I spoke to at the signing.  Now, I can't wait to try out the recipes!
Love, love, love!
Here's a picture of Teresa right before she signed my book, wearing a Jay Godfrey 'Mercer' Liquid Jersey Minidress, which can be found here for $250.



and yes, that's her husband Joe with his back to the picture, right behind her.

Heart #1 goes to...the Amazon Kindle


The first heart goes to the Amazon Kindle. What can I say about this item? I absolutely had to have it the moment I saw a girl reading one in the waiting room of a doctor's office. I had to ask what it was because I had never seen it before and had never heard of it either. Once she explained it to me I was hooked and I had to have one. And so I thank my darling hubby for buying it for me.  He loves that fact that the bookcase is no longer overflowing.
Pictured above is the first generation Kindle, which I own and I love it and I'm faithful to it.
My sister in law recently got the second generation Kindle which looks like this...

OK, so it looks sleek and the buttons make more sense but for right now I'm a first generation Kindle kinda girl. There's nothing like packing for a trip and taking my Kindle filled with books just waiting to be read. Leaves alot of room in the suitcase for more shoes!
