http://alittlelightexercise.blogspot.com/2015/06/roman-roses.html
Good Food and Wine and a Little Light Exercise. The Open Road: Musings on Italy and other destinations. Wednesday, June 3, 2015. One of the pleasures of a sunny Roman day in May is taking a leisurely stroll through the Communal Rose Garden which is open during that month when the blooms from over 1100 plants are exuberantly flourishing. The ancient Romans were rose fanciers and supposedly the current site was originally home to a temple dedicated to Flora, the goddess of flowers. By 1930 the deceased had...

Thing it is to walk into a Safeway store after 3 years’ absence and see aisle-after-aisle of options! Acres of wine, miles of frozen foods, yet a rather humble selection of pasta types. The Safeway was at least. The wine aisle in a Safeway store. A selection so grand it’s embarrassing! Iced, iced iced! Land of the gian...

Living in a foreign language. Menu per il giorno del Ringraziamento 2013. RSS feed for this section. End of the World? No, it’s just August in Roma. Imagine a street, deserted of humans, cars parked dusty and unused, dead leaves skittering along in the evening breeze. There is an eerie, end-of-the-world-movie, ghost town quality. Think of the film “On the Beach” where New York City is deserted. Like that, but with the occasional bus or car passing. The trams are empty, too. A couple of days prior I made ...

Living in a foreign language. Menu per il giorno del Ringraziamento 2013. One Thanksgiving just isn’t enough. In the U.S., our Thanksgivings were usually over-the-top: 13 people in our tiny condo for a 5-course meal, for example. This is definitely the holiday I miss most living abroad and replacing our U.S. traditions just doesn’t fit. So we do Thanksgiving differently. One year it was a non-traditional hike. The next we cooked dinner for 11 Italians. At our friends’ house. Last year. The dessert buffet...

Living in a foreign language. Menu per il giorno del Ringraziamento 2013. Here we are in our first visit to the United States, more than 3 years after our move in May 2012. It is both familiar and foreign to be here. How wide the sidewalks! How clean the streets (compared to Roma anyway)! Customer service that is almost too friendly. It’s nice to understand most of what is going on around me. I had forgotten how big the portions are in restaurants! We each ordered an omelet as we. August 18, 2015 at 15:49.

Living in a foreign language. Menu per il giorno del Ringraziamento 2013. Missing the U.S.A. There must be something in the air causing ex-pat Americans in Italy to miss America. I am pretty certain it isn’t Trump, Clinton or Sanders conjuring up the emotional response to missing the homeland, but a rash of articles, blogs, and posts to Facebook broke out in the past couple of weeks. In winter, we have to hang clothes on a smaller rack in our second bedroom because they won’t dry in the cold and no...
