We started the New Year off with a bang surrounded by friends, good food and libation and lot’s of laughs. And at midnight, thanks to a local neighbor association we could see fireworks from our living room window to boot. During the evening there was some rum fueled conversation about resolutions and such and I committed to do a drawing a day in 2012. Yes, I had been thinking about it because when I made the attempt 8 years ago I fell a little short. Wish me more luck this time please! Other promises were made for “a day” feats like: a poem, a blog post, a drink (think alcoholic beverage), and some that will remain open to your imagination. I am wishing us all well and am putting no pressure on myself as to the quality of the finished product, it’s more to establish better habits as I see it. Below is a photo from friend, neighbor, graphic designer and photographer Andrea of the Lentil soup I made to start the year with good luck. Photos of the daily doodles…soon come.
Lentils for good luck!
If food is your first love, this one might be for you, and for those of you in the “I don’t really care what you ate for lunch” camp, just skip over it and FORGIVE ME, please.. No surprise, we had a few stand-out meals along the strada. One was pictured in an earlier post on Positano. Until I ate a lemon from the Amalfi coast, I didn’t really understand that kind of flavor! Some unfortunately we ate before we thought to take a photo of (sorry…it happens). But here are a few of the notable ones for those of you who asked…
Panna cotta at Di Cecco in Asissi
This caramel drizzle was so dark I thought it was chocolate and almost sent it back. So glad I didn’t!
Pasta with lemon creme and scampi in Anacapri.
Simple, lemony and the texture of that fresh pasta…perfection.
If you ever find yourself in Sorrento EAT HERE at Inn Bufalito. Slow, local, seasonal food at its finest. Thank you Lonely Planet. Fresh focaccia, pecorino romano, water buffalo sausage and peperoni, artichoke hearts, garlicky greens and a slice of ricotta salata with arugula. Really, we could have stopped there but no…
Fusilli con zucca e salsiccia at Inn Bufalito
Pacchero al ragu di Bufalo.
Yup, meat of the water buffalo, the one that gave us the really good mozzarella, slowly cooked in tomato sauce with a little slab of ricotta salata. Sooooooo good!
The strangest food place yet...
OK, just wanted to see if you were still paying attention. No we didn’t try it! This is in Rome, who ever would have guessed?

Tomorrow is our last day of language classes and then we will have a few days of sightseeing. My bathing suit has disappeared from the clothes line, hopefully someone grabbed it accidentally and it will re-appear or I will be swimming in Positano in my underwear. I realise that none of you will have he least bit of sympathy for my plight, just rest assured, there will be NO pictures if I do! A couple more shots from out the windows at Sorrento Lingue…
