Rick personlig tror dette NYC versjonen av sko er bedre enn at før salget av LA-versjonen, hvis fargen vil være tema for årets globale trenden at rødt er den mest representative for valg av ideen.

In the oven as we speak, I added some fresh grated Parmesan. Very easy to make, making mine to take for an Easter lunch out of town.
