This past summer I was helping the local woodworker mill up the trim for our home renovation. Customers would drop by putting in a door order or some other project need.
We were chatting with this very interesting fellow and I asked him what did he do before he retired?
He drove this!
Now that was one cool fellow to have a chat up in a small woodworking shop in our little hamlet-BTW the only business. One never knows who they'll run into in life.
People of Italian descent know how to enjoy, life, food and their vino....lol.
I have some Italian connections courtesy of family marriages. I remember when one of my nephews got married it was a 5 course meal with wine flowing freely. Then the open bar and Modesto the father in law standing at the bar peeling off bills to cover off on the after dinner drinks.
Around midnight they rolled out another round of cheese, fruit, pizza, etc....I thought I would burst.
Now my nephews son is getting married this coming June and I'm sure a similar feast is in store.
In any event if you haven't tried it well worth having some farinata it's made from chickpea/garbanzo bean flour and comes from the Genoa area of Italy.
