Just a quick blog to post a few photos of food.
We love to walk around the markets and look at all of the different foods they have for sale. On Saturdays the market is held in Piazza Signorelli and on Thursdays one is held down in Camucia, a town at the bottom of the hill that is still in the province of Cortona.
We eat simply, being very picky eaters so we mostly enjoy the fresh fruits and vegetables available – and they are fresh! We also cook at home a lot of the time, buying roasted chickens from the markets and wonderful local beef. We go to several places in town for desserts and coffees.
The photo of the bottle of grappa is included because it has such an interesting name “Morbida”. It actually means soft in Italian but we laughed because it sounded like if you drank it you were risking death. We have not tried it!
Our landlady just arrived back from Naples and brought us mozzarella so that became part of our lunch today.
This evening we will be heading out to enjoy more of the festival activities surrounding the celebration of Santa Margherita then on to a concert being performed by our friend Francesco Attesti. (Www.attesti.com). Then possibly more card playing with Maria.
