Are you Italian? Peach Bellini Recipe.
May 23rd, 2009 by prissycook
At least once a week I get asked some question about my ethnicity ( I used to get asked about my name more, but since I’ve gotten older, that question doesn’t come up quite as often). I’m sure I’m pretty Heinz 57, from family sur names going back about 4 generations, it’s all pretty English, Scottish in nature.
A few weeks ago I decided to change up my hair and I had bangs cut. My hair stylist said something about Heidi Klum and before I knew it I had a new look. I should issue an apology to Superwife, because I didn’t consult with her before I made this leap and she had to find out via a Flickr upload.
It seems to me that some people think the bangs make me look Italian. At least 3 people this week made a comment about it and truth be told, I’m okay with that! Italy far and away is my most favorite place in the world.
Perhaps it was all my Italianess this week that put Bellini’s on my mind.
I think this recipe is close to the original Harry’s Bar Bellini in Italy. It was crisp and refreshing. The original Bellini isn’t served like a peach diquari like you get at most restaurants State side. (<–I don’t mind the frozen ones either.)
