We're at the repeats




Pizza night again- this time 100% whole wheat because I forgot to buy white flour to mix in. Should be chewy... but good for us.



I lost a big post again. This time it was irretrievable. What a pain. It all seems so easy and then POOF.



Yesterday was a big day. It was our sommelier graduation ceremony. It was held at the Berlucchi estate in Franciacorta (Lombardia) about 3 hours away from here. We had a tour of the cantinas which was fascinating, a delicious lunch with FABULOUS bubbly Berluuchi wines and then we each came up on stage and they presented us with our diplomas and taste-vins (cuppy things on chains). It was disturbingly exciting. I forgot how much I hate getting up on stage.
And no, in that picture I am not slipping bottles of Berlucchi into my handbag.

Fontona?

Where's Fontona? Fontona is a small village between Monterosso al Mare and Levanto, Italy. After living for 18 years in the historic center of Monterosso in the Cinque Terre, we decided to pack up and move to the countryside. We are less than 15 minutes from the main piazza of Monterosso but far away from the crowds.
Not much goes on in Fontona, Mass on Sundays and sometimes the Boy Scout troop hikes by. We are content to wait for the spring violets, spot our resident hawks and decide what to make for dinner.
