AJ, Natalie, Sookie, and Rory move to the Niccone Valley in Italy for their pre-tirement. Monday, April 25, 2011. TTITIM #2: Bar Fizz. It’s the night before we leave our pre-tirement and the Niccone Valley and our house on the hill, and we, naturally, had dinner at Bar Fizz. Then we went for pizzas, with a pick as you might expect of the above-mentioned “pizza Natalie.” Look how happy she is:. And finally, our dolce of choice (which I’ve talked about before. The tartufo al brandy:. Top Ten Italian Things.

AJ, Natalie, Sookie, and Rory move to the Niccone Valley in Italy for their pre-tirement. Thursday, September 8, 2011. Looking Out a Window on Assisi. It's hard to believe (from the sunny-ness) that this picture was taken in December, when we (along with Nat’s mom Carolyn and sister Christie- hey, happy birthday to Carolyn today. By the way) were eating lunch at ai Frantoio. Lovely, naturally, but we were certainly glad to be inside for a long lunching:. Start the pre-tirement journey here. Double Take (...

AJ, Natalie, Sookie, and Rory move to the Niccone Valley in Italy for their pre-tirement. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. If All Meat Was This Pretty . . . I’d still probably be a vegetarian, but it’d be a lot harder. Just look at that lovely meat (both sliced and spread). I expect meat-eating pals will be drooling now:.

SixMonthsInItaly: Lunch at Cucina la Marianne
http://sixmonthsinitaly.blogspot.com/2011/04/lunch-at-cucina-la-marianne.html
AJ, Natalie, Sookie, and Rory move to the Niccone Valley in Italy for their pre-tirement. Monday, April 4, 2011. Lunch at Cucina la Marianne. We’ve had the best (I think) creamy-gorgonzola-y sauce and pasta there, yummy veggie lasagna. Next on the amazing menu was a roasted veggie tart: red and yellow peppers, artichoke, and olive oil with a bit of salt and pepper. Simple, tasteful, and allowing the vegetable flavors to shine, this dish would have been worthy with solely veggies, but the crust, the c...
