Beautiful day here today. About 60 degrees, and I hear Dallas and the East Coast are in the deep freeze.
We cleaned house this morning, mopped floors, cleaned the bathroom, did several loads of wash and then went out shopping. Took a suitcase on rollers and two shopping bags. Filled them all and then some. When we got home, I started some Ribollita soup. It’s a Tuscan vegetable soup with bread…and I added a chicken leg and thigh. We will have it for dinner tomorrow night. I know those of you who know me are shocked and amazed to hear that I am cooking. Sunday night I am planning Grilled chicken, with onions and red bell peppers with capers.
The market was wonderful. Stall after stall with fresh fish, fresh meats, fresh vegetables, even a pasta stall with freshly made pasta and ravioli.
The plan tomorrow is to go to the Borghese Villa and see it. I have never been, so it will be a new treat for me.
Will report on it tomorrow night…and how the soup turned out.
Stay warm and write me a note when you can.
Ah, Leslie, so glad you are immersing yourself nella Bella Cultura! When you go to the Villa Borghese, you’ll be treated to possibly the greatest sculpture in the world: Bernini’s “Apollo & Daphne” takes your breath away. Magnificent. I could happily gaze upon it for hours on end… XOXO

I miss texting you. Can you still get text? Your journey has sounded wonderful even with all the run around. Enjoy. Love you Sylvia
