Life is an adventure. Make the most of it and remember; The best is yet to come. I am now in my eighties, and for many years I have wanted to share some of my travel adventures with friends and family. Some adventures have been hilarious, some have been dangerous, all have been exciting. Many of the places I have been to no longer exist, and some of my adventures would not be possible today. My world is disappearing before my eyes and I want to record some of it before it is completely gone. To my children and grandchildren; I want them to know Grandma was not always elderly. There was a time when she climbed Mount Vesuvius, rode camels in the desert and para-sailed over the ocean. I began traveling when I was very young and the world was a much friendlier place. Each trip was a lovely adventure, there were no fast food places, hotels always had a room and you never stood in line. So here are my stories for you to read and enjoy, and hopefully to remember me, and yes, Im still here.
Lunch in Paris
In Paris for a weekend visit, Elizabeth Bard sat down to lunch with a handsome Frenchman -- and never went home again. Was it love at first sight? Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her pavé au poivre, the steak's pink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? Lunch in Paris is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs -- one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine. Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 femmes fatales. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothe pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate soufflé), and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese -- there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart. Peppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish tartare and molten chocolate cakes, Lunch in Paris is a story of falling in love, redefining success and discovering what it truly means to be at home. In the delicious tradition of memoirs like A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun, this book is the perfect treat for anyone who has dreamed that lunch in Paris could change their life.
Arrivederci--Shalom!
"Arrivederci—Shalom! A True Story recounts a quintessential American story in two sections, linked by love—Dom Rizzi’s love for Sema, and his love for the law. This is a true story of an Italian/Catholic boy that embraced and adopted the Jewish culture of his new neighborhood as he was growing up, and he married a beautiful Jewish girl. With her love and support, he became a lawyer and an Appellate Court judge. As part of his story, Dom relates how some of his appellate court cases came about. Enjoy this inspiring love story coupled with Dom’s exciting judicial career. About the Author Dom Rizzi was a trial and appellate lawyer for sixteen years before becoming a trial judge, hearing jury trials. As a trial and appellate lawyer, he tried thirty-nine cases to jury verdicts, and prepared as lead counsel over one hundred appeals in both state and appellate courts. In 1978 he became a Justice of the Illinois Appellate Court, a position he held until his retirement from the judiciary at the end of 1996. He was also a part-time teacher at Loyola University Law School, Chicago, and at the University of Illinois, Chicago. During that time he was also an author and lecturer on law and social issues.
