Spring Food & Travels
Updates have been slow lately, despite that I’ve been cooking lots of super-fresh pasta primavera, pestos, grilling, and making fresh lemonade just about every day. I’ve been traveling, and there’s more ahead.
I took a trip to the south and ate, and ate, and ate. I only managed to grab pictures of the last day, so [...]
Finishing a trip
I have crazy stories about being stranded in Italy, spending an unplanned night in Rome, eating fried chicken in Georgia, getting back to San Francisco and more but mostly I left 10 kilos in Italy. Yep. You can have them, Italy. Send them to the south.
Loose Ends, Parting
Something sharp is LODGED in my foot after several days at the beach in Levanto. Yesterday the surf was really rough (2nd day of red flag) and i took a beating along the rocky sea floor and as I came out must have hit a sharp rock or a peice of glass or something that [...]

Random Florence
Some moments since I’ve been here, all within Florence as I’ve written seperate entries about trips.
Apicius in Florence
I’ve had two weeks of classes at Apicius now and will leave you with some pictures of what I’ve cooked.
Siena in Tuscany
This is overdue. Two weekends ago I visited Siena. I found it to be small and the food to be overpriced and under-quality, but the shoe and pastry shopping was good and the historical architecture was quite interesting and refreshing after the bustle and endless streets in Florence.
Food in Florence
There is a Piazza literally 10 steps accross from my front door that I like to go to because there is a good restaurant with nice value there. I went to it the first time and had mini lobsters (I really need to find out what they are called) and shrimp all whole with head [...]
