<\/a>Yes, I know, to be linguistically correct the title should read P\u00e2t\u00e9<\/em>, but after experiencing a whole lotta headache when I put the [ \u00fc ] in Gr\u00fcner Veltliner in the post title for my Wiener Schnitzel redux<\/a>, ironically another 5 Star Makeover Challenge, I’m not willing to chance phonetic symbols in titles again.<\/p>\n After a two month break for the holidays, 5 Star Makeover Challenge<\/strong>, hosted by the lovely and talented Natasha of 5 Star Foodie<\/a> and the infamous Lazaro of Lazaro Cooks<\/a>, is back! This month’s challenge was to put the gourmet into that universally popular comfort food: meatballs.<\/p>\n My idea came to me while reading David Lebovitz<\/a>‘s book The Sweet Life in Paris<\/em>. Apparently, reading a book is something I can only accomplish on airplanes. Traveling cross country to NYC this month with a side trip to NW Arkansas, I actually read two books! The first one I absolutely could not put down and finished on the flight to LGA was Huraki Murakami<\/a>‘s novel, South of the Border, West of the Sun<\/em>. The second was The Sweet Life in Paris<\/em>. Two totally different books and, for the record, I disagree with most of the reviews I’ve read about Murakami.<\/p>\n
