Seafood Pasta Delight
One of my absolute favourite Italian dishes has to be spaghetti ai frutti di mare (seafood). As soon as my foot lands on the tarmac in Sardinia my stomach starts shouting out for it.

Boston Beanie Baby and Doro Wat What?
A few months back, I threw my sister a baby shower. I’m showing off this is the hand-sewn quilt I made for the Kid. Well, logic would follow that several months later, a little person has since emerged. So off I went to Boston to meet him for the first time. Bostonians are a loyal [...]

I, too, am on vacation! I am on vacation from work, from the 24 hour news cycle, from Facebook (sort of), and I am on vacation from cooking for myself OR the KIDS!! Woohoo! I am enjoying myself on the beach, enjoying eating out and because there are a bunch of us here I’m enjoying [...]
Out-of-Office Auto Reply: Caramel Candy
By Patty on Aug 15, 2010 in Zompparound
Thank you for visiting Zomppa.com. I am currently out of the ‘office’ and on a lovely beach with my toes in the sand and saltwater lapping between my ears. It is not clear whether I will be returning to the ‘office’ as I am seriously contemplating permanent residency in this extraordinary beach town. As I [...]
Variety is the Spice of Life
My husband and I love food and we especially love to try to challenge ourselves to learn to cook new foods and to use new techniques. Hence why we make our own beer and I am trying my hand at homemade cheeses. Even though we love love love to cook, we often find ourselves falling into [...]
Bannock and Berries
Two things happened to inspire this article—First, I just returned from canoeing up in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northern Minnesota, and second, this is prime berry-picking season. Let me elaborate on why I was even canoeing or berry-picking: I did it for a man. Sigh. Or should I say, the man. [...]
Tiramisu! Just the pick-me up everyone needs
The literal translation of Tiramisu is “pick-me up!” Those espresso drenched ladyfingers and high levels of sugar see to that alright.
Contemplating Meat on a NC Beach
By Belinda on Jul 28, 2010 in Zompparound
This past weekend was the annual trip to the Wilmington beaches, where I got sunburned (always forget that spot) and thought I broke my toes (I didn’t) and the ocean took my sunglasses (bye, bye, Calvin Kleins). I also was the entertainment of the day as I managed to capsize a kayak carrying a 300-pound [...]
Virginia Woolf, Farmers and My Family!
By Tsering on Jul 27, 2010 in Zompparound
Virginia Woolf: Eons ago, when I was young and studying Literature, Virginia Woof’s writing seized my attention for her narrative style-stream of consciousness. It is the mode that reveals the character’s thought processes, it is winding sentences (well for me), connecting thoughts and it is an interior monologue. Enough about Virginia Woolf and the world [...]
