I think I&#39;m supposed to live in Greece, in one of those nifty houses on the cliffs. And eat all day, and sail about.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, since I&#39;m here and not on a island near the sea, I want this book<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Mediterranean-Fresh-Compendium-Mix-Match/dp/0393065006/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1218077872&amp;sr=8-1<BR/><BR/>Everything in it sounds wonderful!!tallmistohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03065763038341432853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873406705181213142.post-41322293286668491092008-08-01T14:13:00.000-07:002008-08-01T14:13:00.000-07:00The pasta looks and sounds delish!nancysrecipeshttp://nancysrecipes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873406705181213142.post-72935854848772922422008-08-01T12:39:00.000-07:002008-08-01T12:39:00.000-07:00Corinee, you did a lovely post about Mediterranean Diet or better Nutrition. I try and follow this diet as much as possible but some times I get tempted to make some new things and today I posted cupcakes (butter) which I made for the first time. Olive oil is the secret of Mediterranean diet, I rarely use anything else than olive oil. Your pasta dish sounds wonderful. I never tried pasta with legumes before but I like the idea.Ivyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12370053555998889434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873406705181213142.post-78046317637878506622008-08-01T10:40:45.171-07:002008-08-01T10:40:45.171-07:00Kevin - Whole grains are definitely the way to go<BR/><BR/>Mimi - Thanks!

In Italy, for example, their pasta dishes will use half the amount of pasta that ours do, but more than twice the amount of veggies. The pasta is almost an afterthought compared to the yummy, fresh veg! That said, it seems a lot easier to eat Mediterrean in the summer rather than in the winter!Neenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669218258335429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873406705181213142.post-331887351838061372008-07-31T09:49:00.000-07:002008-07-31T09:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comment - yes the meditarranean "way" is quite beautiful.
