This is another fabulous guest post by food blogger Shari Brooks of My Judy the Foodie. Now, I feel I need to preface this post with a little editorial – in the 8 years I have known Shari I don’t think she’s ever eaten pasta in front of me. She’s just not a carbo-loading kind [...]

Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged family travel, italian desserts, italian food, Italy, lake bolsena on July 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With only a couple of days left we realized that there are still some restaurants that the owner’s of our villa recommended. I don’t know if I mentioned the amazing book that they left us filled with notes on towns worth visiting, cards from the best restaurants all over, maps of cities and parking tips [...]

After exhausting ourselves in Rome and getting home very late we slept in on Sunday and decided to have a relaxing local day by Lake Bolsena. We called ahead to make a reservation at Da Paolino al Miralago restaurant in Montefiascone a city perched high above the lake on verdant cliffs. We have learned our [...]

We spent the the day in Tuscania going to the market and trying to stay cool on the hottest day so far. I spent most of the day planning our field trip to Rome the next day when the heat was supposed to break. I’m big on planning. I don’t believe in just winging it [...]

Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged anti-semitism, family travel, ghetto, italian food, Italy, jews of italy, pitigliano on July 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
There is something about being outside of New York that always makes me feel more Jewish. I don’t know exactly what that means, but when I lived in London being Jewish was actually something people asked me about. As if it were somewhat foreign or exotic. Neither of which I consider it to be. In [...]

My mom (Granny) flew in to stay with us for the week. We drove an hour and a half to the Rome airport to pick her up and then an hour and a half to bring her back here to Tuscania. Between all that driving, making lunch, her jet lag and the girls’ excitement over [...]
Day 13 – Viterbo and The Italian Wal-Mart
Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged eating in Italy, family travel, italian food, Italian wine, Italy, viterbo on July 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We finally decided that Sophia’s cough was going to linger no matter what we did so we figured an easy day of lunch in the old town of Viterbo followed by a pilgrimage to the Iper Coop “shopping experience” would make for a good first venture out into the world for her. (And me!) We [...]
Day 4 Tuscania and Lake Bolsena again! (Why can’t we make a damn cell phone call?)

We spent the better part of our morning sorting out the mystery of the cell phone. Before we left Corey unlocked his iphone at a place in midtown. Now that it was ready for an Italian SIM card we thought we were good to go, but we still couldn’t make a call. And, since all [...]
