I just heard that the Italian MotoGP pilot Marco Simoncelli has died in a horrific accident at Sepang (Malaysia) during the Grand Prix.

This is "funghi porcini" time and you will find them sold fresh everywhere. A great time to enjoy them. There are many ways to prepare them: sauces, garnishes, omelettes, pasta....

Further to previous posts and threads, I did not get an answer from Admin regarding the current status for "Northern Tuscany" group... Consequently, I decided to do something different and I requested the creation of a new group...

Could anyone explain why it is not possible to access the Northern Tuscany Group? I am supposed to be its Administrator and I have not received any information regarding this.

We are just back from a n enjoyable week in Rome and I must mention the great coffee we had at Piazza Sant'Eustachio, a sort of "sanctuary" for all coffee lovers.

We were driving around Lucca when I saw at a newsagent a headline from regional newspaper "Il Tirreno" stating that the Royal couple were coming to Lucca during their honeymoon.

I travel to San Francisco, California, quite frequently as my two daughters live there. I love the city and I have always noticed its strong Italian influence.

Mimosa, I hope that you will not mind if I also say "Hi" to an "oldie" from the Forum, Daviduno. Good to see you here, David.
Alma, my advice would be to write down your password in an address book. I did that!
Hi Mimosa and welcome. We look forward to hearing more from you. After 3 years living in Italy you will have plenty to contribute.
I have always been hopeless at quizzes, that is why I never participate in them; however, I am putting 10 pounds in the kitty as a fine for being incompetent. :)
Helen, good to see you here. Don't worry, it takes a bit of time to get used but we will all make it. :)
Good to see you here.
I agree that it takes some time to get used to this; however,I have started to notice a definite improvement. It is just a bit of practice what is needed.
I haven't had a drink, my hand is very steady and I get the same results. Gremlins in the system or a conspiracy.....
Although caustic soda is used, generally in weak solutions, I would be a bit worried about using it. Salt and also vinegar have been used for weed control. Still, I would prefer just plain boiling water, so start planning for the camp fire.
Gromit, it would be better to use a thermos flask, but make sure it keeps the right temperature. Otherwise, have a camp fire or one of those camping burners with a kettle boiling on site. Never run with a kettle full of boiling water. As for Caustic Soda.... you are really dangerous.... :O
