An Italian in the US

Ciao sorella.

Amore tu sei alto non ce la faccio ad arrivare fino a te Ma se fossimo in due chissà, forse insieme a turno attaccando il Chimborazo potremmo ducali infine giungere a te. Amore tu sei profondo ...

The first post of 'An Italian in Canada' will be a short visual summary of just a few things that we learned to like here in Montreal. It's winter, so one has to accept it and take the best out o...

Hello dear readers--and welcome to the last official post of the 'Italian in the US'. As I mentioned a few posts ago, I moved to Canada with Matt. I have a new job in Montreal, and we've been li...

In this post I'll describe the trip to Umbria that I took with my family last summer. You may not believe it, but I had never been to this wonderful Italian region before, even though many foreig...

Dissatisfied with my dashi, I journeyed to Izumo. OK, that's not entirely true, but I like the sound of it. And it's not entirely false either. Once I had felt I had gotten the knack of making d...

Hi everyone! You thought I was lost forever? No. However, I am thinking I should change the title of this blog. I'm not in the US anymore! I moved to Canada about a month ago with Matt. I have n...

Iwao Takizawa, whom we were to meet for dinner, had translated into Japanese 'Letters from Wolfie' , a book by Matt's mom about a boy who volunteers his dog for service in the Vietnam War. Over t...

We left Tottori for Osaka by train. This leg of our journey involved a difficult decision, because we were supposed to meet another family from Japan Cycling in Takashima, on the beautiful Lake ...

We left Sakaiminato with a medium-heavy rain, which stayed with us for about one hour in the morning. It wasn't cold, so it wasn't too bad---it just made us wet and somewhat dirty. We stopped for...

The stop in Izumo signed the beginning of our biking tour in Japan. We left in the late morning, after the adventure of the missing key , heading East. The first stop was Matsue, where there is o...

Miso soup, onigiri with rice cooked in dashi, and gobo and ume/shiso pickles around said rice atop an aromatic bed of kombu, topped with a Möbius band of nori, swayed by a breeze that has pa...

I've stopped blogging for a while for some good reasons. At first, I was finishing up some stuff from my work at Berkeley. Then my mom came to visit me for 12 days. It was really nice to have her...

First, thanks Marta for granting me this indulgence to hold forth on an obsession. Anyone who has had any Japanese food has tasted the flavor imparted by katsuobushi, but I first became aware ...

May is over, and the Fresh Produce of the Month roundup is here for you to enjoy. The chosen produce for May was... Rhubarb! Indeed, quite a few people told me about how many rhubarb plants they...

A long mysterious title for this post... All these words relate to fat! As I mentioned in the previous post, we started being interested in lard some time ago. We got a first jar of 'manteca' in ...

Pies have never been my favorite dessert, mainly because I never really liked the crust. In fact, I know quite a few Americans who eat the filling and not the crust.. which of course, makes you w...

For the first time in a while, I'll be able to participate to a blog event that's not the one that I started myself (which I would feel too bad not to take part to :) ). This is an indication of ...

Hello everyone! Quite an easy roundup this time: only two recipes :) Oh well, I guess fennel is not in season very much anywhere, although I did see it listed as one of the in-season ingredients ...

http://italianintheus.blogspot.com/2009/04/fresh-produce-of-month-fennel-roundup.html

Hrm.... Once again, I'm late on posting the recipe for my own blog event.... Probably not too bad, though: so far I didn't receive any submissions! I guess fennel is not in season in many parts o...

Finally, the moment has come. I have officially decided what to do for at least the next few years of my life. As you know, my long absence from blogging was related to job hunting. At last, last...

Hello everybody! March is already half gone, so we'd better hurry and publish the announcement for the new Fresh Produce of the Month (FPOM) event! However, before doing so, let me direct you to ...

The second and last post of the month that just ended is meant to show you some pictures of the food that Matt prepared for me in the past evenings. I take pictures of almost every dish he makes,...

Hello dear readers! As predicted, my life is super hectic again, and still will be for a few more weeks. So, I'm going to have only two posts for this month (mmm -- I just realized it's past midn...
