We have just returned from an all too brief holiday in Italy. I have missed blogging and communicating with you all but we wanted to step out of our everyday lives and really sink into the Italian Experience..."o dio"...did we ever! I have a zillion photos, okay actually not quite 700, and so much to share which I will do as my English language skills return and the jet lag subsides.We encountered warm beautiful people, traversed incredible country and shared amazing meals. We stayed on a farm in the "Piedmonte", did yoga at sunset with a young man from Nepal, wandered for days in Venice eating in cafes along the canals, drinking in the architecture, art and culture. We hiked through vineyards and olive groves high above the sea, swam in the turquoise waters of the Italian Riviera and stood before DaVinci's "Last Supper". We ate regional cuisine from Piedmonte, Sardinia, Venice, Sicily and Milan. I watched, tasted and consulted with culinary magicians and cannot wait to share recipes, philosophies and techniques.
But..the last of the tomatoes must be harvest and prepared for winter, the peaches are waiting to be turned into jams and chutneys AND we are busy preparing for 30,000 tulip bulbs arriving any day now that must be planted for next spring...so for now, I send you a "Buon giorno".
