Today’s “little walk” turned into a 1.5 hour hike to the peak of a small mountain near our town. As we looked down into the dried riverbed that borders our town, we could see fields of yellow flowers blooming next to plots of lush green and plowed-earth brown farmland. On the descent, the trail led to an open hill with a peek of the Dolomites in the distance. #hikethedolomites #friuliveneziagiulia #fvg #fvg_love #somewhere_fvg #igersgo #igersfvg #igersitalia #loves_friuliveneziagiulia #fvglive #igfriends_friuli #igfriends_italy #vivoFVG #discoverFVG #thehub_fvg #vipkidteacher #vipkidteacherswhotravel
How to cook pasta with bolognese sauce for 200 people. Boil water in the biggest pots you can find over a massive camp stove. Add 10 large bags of penne pasta and four handfuls of salt then boil until they’re al dente. Drain the pasta with a massive colander then mix in the bolognese sauce. Carry the pot full of pasta with a buddy to a table stacked high with bowls. Fight off the masses with your hot ladle (kidding...kinda) and serve. #pastasciutta #bolognesesauce #pastabolognese #cheideltalpa #valdelaroja #italianfoodlover #italianfoodlove #friuliveneziagiulia #fvg #fvg_love #somewherefvg #igersgo #igersfvg #igersitalia #loves_friuliveneziagiulia #fvglive #igfriends_friuli #igfriends_italy #vivoFVG #discoverFVG #thehub_fvg
Balancing act seconds before I realized the black spot on the damned cat’s head was a tiny tick and had to wrestle him to the ground and successfully remove it before it disappeared. Let’s just say my cat-wrangling-while-grabbing-toilet-paper-with-one-hand-to-squish-the-tick skills led to a bald spot, a dead tick, a really angry cat, and a sudden onset of full body itching that hasn’t gone away even though I vigorously scrubbed every inch of myself in the shower. It’s a shame I don’t drink wine because I’m sure a few glasses would do me good right now. I can deal with spiders and stink bugs but for the love of all that’s holy, don’t send me ticks. If you need me, I’ll be looking for the vodka. (P.S. Immediately upon tick removal, Harry’s flea and tick collar was replaced with Bravecto that Christopher picked up this afternoon.)
Daily joy. Cat. Sandal weather. Bike. Pizza. Massive cacti.
It’s happening!
Happiness is freshly turned earth and a spot in the sun
No day can be bad when it starts this sweet. @vale_dolcesalato dressed up a whole grain cereal brioche with cream and strawberry jam filling, slices of fresh, ripe strawberries, a hint of mint and a dusting of powdered sugar. Add in a beautifully creamy cappuccino, and there’s no denying that Italian breakfast is my favorite breakfast of all. #italianbreakfast #cappuccinoandbrioche #italianbreakfastaddict #friuliveneziagiulia #fvg #fvg_love #somewherefvg #igersgo #igersfvg #igersitalia #loves_friuliveneziagiulia #fvglive #igfriends_friuli #igfriends_italy #vivoFVG #discoverFVG #thehub_fvg #weddingdiet
Simple joys. Cats. A bucket of garden tools. A decorative cabbage that has bolted and gets taller by the day. Shadow play. Weeds so tall they take two days to pull. The surprise of hidden parsley that survived the winter thanks to the shelter of the weeds. Our Christmas tree, dried and festive under the carport next to a red crate filled with last year’s sunflower heads. A spoon of Nutella with one more lick left.
After weeks of rain, the weeds in our garden have taken over. They’re knee-high and full of stinging nettle, but I’ve suited up in long pants and long sleeves and armed myself with my hand fork thingie-do. Ain’t nothin’ going to stop me now. Except for lunch. I’ve stopped for lunch. And Netflix. But after that, it’s back to the garden grind where no weed gets left behind.
Unexpected blooms while cooking dinner tonight
Blossom spent and leaf unfurled. A quickening of promised fruit to bear. Linger now, let heart uncurl as blossom as leaf as bee borne on air. Softly land then linger still. Delay spring’s greatest sorrow. While cherry tart then sweet will come there’ll be no bloom tomorrow.
