Tantissimi auguri di Buon Natale e felice Anno Nuovo~
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Last week I ran into a friend from Mississippi and asked him how he was doing. In true Southern form he replied, “Blessed and encouraged.” I laughed because only in the South would you hear that response.

I have eaten a lot of wonderful things and in Verona the most exotic thing has been horse…yes, horse. It was smoked–does that …
Tutti a tavola~
When in Rome… In a little more than a week, we will be in Rome and, although there are many reasons to be excited about going to Rome, the one thing that I look forward to the most is EATING in Rome. For me, the excitement of eating in Rome is more than the meal itself. It is the hunt …
