It’s Been Some Time

Posted on September 27, 2019September 28, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

A friend of ours, that we have not seen in years, came to visit this past week. She has never been in Italy, no less in Tuscany, so it was our pleasure and duty to show her around. When we were not driving or walking the streets of one of the beautiful towns of Tuscany,…

Coffee and Patience

Posted on September 19, 2019September 19, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

I like coffee. I’m not addicted to coffee. I don’t drink multiple cups a day. I can’t drink it after 3PM unless I intend to stay awake past my normal bedtime. But I like coffee and prefer good coffee over bad. I would rather do without coffee if it is bad coffee. Which most out…

Two Weeks in Tuscany

Posted on September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

We have been in Tuscany several times so we knew what to expect and see. That is not the problem. Tuscany is an absolutely beautiful place and they have fantastic cuisine and the people are warm (as they are in most places we visited). The problem, what I am upset about, what I miss from…

French or Italian Markets

Posted on September 12, 2019September 12, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

The weekly markets in Brittany were a destination. Something to look forward to. On Saturdays we would drive the 10 minutes to Quiberon and walk that market. Wednesdays we would go to Vannes and Thursdays to our own Town, Saint Pierre. Walking by the food stalls was entertaining and educationional and mouth watering. The French…

Finally on the right track

Posted on September 8, 2019September 8, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

As an update to my previous post about installing track lights in the kitchen, these are the subsequent events. If you recall I decided to run two separate track systems because the system that I brought with me from France was no longer available from the same chain, Leroy Merlin, in both countries. Not wanting…

Starting to Feel at Home

Posted on September 5, 2019September 5, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

It’s been five days since we first pulled into the driveway of our new place to live. The apartment, which is actually the granary of a Villa that was built around 1500 and is owned by a Contessa and her British husband, was used as a vacation rental a la Air B&B, is fully furnished…

Porchetta with a glass of Vernaccia

Posted on September 2, 2019September 2, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

I fully expected to be disappointed today. After ten months in Brittany and the Brittany markets, we went to our first Market since we moved here on Saturday. We drove to “San Casciano in Val di Pesa”. Yes that is the name of the Town. We live on one of the Chianti ridges and San…

First Tuscan Home Cooked Meal

Posted on September 1, 2019September 1, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

We arrived in Montespertoli Yesterday at Lunchtime so we were not about to do any home cooking considering we had a car full of stuff to empty. So we went out to eat in a nearby town and we also did a bit of shopping for basic supplies. This morning we went to Ikea and…
