HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We're moving

so much to do, so little time ...

Riva del Garda - part 1

After almost four years in Italy, I finally made it to Lake Garda, where D's parents have a beautiful little flat right in the center of Riva del Garda. Here are some sights from Riva and our day trip to Gardaland.

Harvest

A couple of nights ago we were invited to sample M's first kangkung harvest. Along with the crisp and savoury kangkung, we were also treated to home-grown tomato and mozzarella salad, chicken in black bean sauce and tofu sprinkled with furikake. Both D and I enjoyed good food and great conversation (in italian!) among friends. A perfect summer evening (even with the mozzies...)
