Wahoo! Surfs up. We're out of here! Summer Hols.
Actually, we're not, but everybody else seems to be. The local Magi Market, my favorite greengrocers, both of them, the farmicia, the doctor's (hell, he has been gone since July 24th and will be gone until the end of August), all 'chiuso per ferie'.
Hey, but today I made a new discovery...a little mini grater in the nutmeg jar. Do they have these in the US as a regular part of nutmeg spice jars? I've never seen them before, but then I'm rather uncouth. I'll load a picture up as soon as the internet gets a move on. Gosh, it is painfully slow today, probably because near everyone has left for 'ferie'. Why not the little electrons involved in my wireless transmissions?
Oh, I've signed myself up for a pasta class this Saturday. I haven't heard back from them yet, but hopefully I'll be able to regale you with tales Saturday evening.

I want to hear about the pasta class! I have a hand-crank pasta maker. We'll have to make pasta for the families one night when you get back! :)
ReplyDeleteFunny--I bought a jar of nutmeg with their little grater in 2007 when I was there. I use it in my Snickerdoodle cookies (http://occasionalpiece.blogspot.com/2008/08/snickerdoodles-from-king-arthur-flour.html) and it always brings back a memory of Italy.
