A 5-Year Old Sous Chef in Training at Skappo Italian Wine Bar and Restaurant
Skappo is the Italian wine bar and restaurant that my husband Michael and his family opened 8 years ago.
Massimo has been going into Skappo’s kitchen even before he could walk.
At age 5 he has now become a “Sous Chef in training” under the tutelage of his Zio Marco (Uncle Marc) Sincavage for savory items and Zia Yvette (Aunt Yvette) for baking.
This week the New Haven Independent, an online newspaper, features Skappo Italian Wine Bar as part of their “Chef of the Day” series.
Zio Marco, with the help of Massimo, make Skappo’s signature rabbit dish. The recipe is from Nonna Anna’s home town of Assisi, Italy.
I am so proud that Massimo has taken an interest in the family business. Who knows? This could be the start of a promising career for him. You can say I am a very proud Mom!
Skappo Italian Wine Bar is located at 59 Crown Street, New Haven, CT. Their phone number is 203-773-1394. www.skappo.com

The Walking Dead is Coming Back–I Love Zombies!
I have mentioned in past posts about my love for zombie movies and all things creepy.
On television I have been patiently waiting for AMC’s zombie series, “The Walking Dead” to come back. Finally I am going to get a new episode on Sunday, February 12, 2012.
I don’t know why I love zombie inspired shows so much, but I do. I even created illustrations of my family and me if we were zombies.
Of course, if zombies ever did invade the earth I am hoping that my family and I survive as zombie warriors, rather than being part of the dead infestation.
I am not paranoid by nature, but I do have scenarios in my mind about what I would do if a zombie attacks. I have even started to prepare my 5-year-old son about self-defense techniques.
Luckily, the zombie virus is just a fictional phenomenon so we have nothing to worry about at all.
Have a wonderful day!
(Note: AMC and the “Walking Dead” did not compensate me for this review. I just love zombies.)
