    Who is that kissing my mother-in-law’s neck?! Could it be Paolo? How many martinis were served at this lunch?! 🙂

    Judy- Your $$$$$ made me laugh. Truffles are so expensive but worth it. The black ones we grow here in Australia are $3000 a kilo. Its a once a year splurge for us and one we look forward to. X

    when we called to let them know we were coming, he was not there..
    when we walked in the martini glasses where lined up and there he was for us!!!

    Often people ask if I miss SF.
    What’s to miss?

    Oooo…I want to dive into each of those pictures. Looks like it was great fun. I’m trying to promote your cooking programs to clients of mine that want to do something like that in Florence. I keep trying.

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
