A presto to our amici...

Breakfast, prepared by a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, was simple yet extremely delicious.  After almost five months in Italy, I have now fallen in love with pancetta. Italian pancetta is salt cured pork belly, typically seasoned with such spices as nutmeg, pepper, fennel, dried ground hot peppers and garlic, then dried for at least three months.  Tom added it to the most delectable scrambled eggs.  Combined with roasted potatoes... la colazione è brava!

Our guests left for Rome today.  It was a great visit.  Life returns to our version of normalcy with coffee dates, aperitivi guests and some volunteering at the library.

The transition back to the U.S. might be difficult for you with your pancetta addiction. You will have to bring a bunch home and store it in the freezer!
Oh, and GROSS!
