The Home section in today's New York Times features an entertaining article about our good friend Giulia Melucci and her new book, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti — a collection of stories about her various romantic adventures (Giulia is described in the article as being "perpetually single"), interspersed with recipes such as Ineffectual Eggplant Parmigiana (“Serves the two of you plus the three people you wish were there to keep the conversation going”).
Curiously the article does not mention that in addition to being a great cook and an equally great home decorator, Giulia is also the chief benefactor to the Giulia Melucci Wing in Flat Earth's record collection, having donated a truly outstanding stack of '80s vinyl several years ago.
