Pizza with Friends...
A discussion about pizza ovens led to an invitation for a magical evening in the hilltops of Umbria. Adolfo and Darcy's Località Il Piano is a truly amazing place to dine!
 |
| While Darcy prepped for the dinner, I got to cuddle on sweet, new Filippo. |
 |
| When asked, "What would you like to call the new baby?" Benjamin (age 3) proclaimed, "Alfalfa!" As it turns out, it is the name of a goat in one of his favorite books. Falfa stuck. |
 |
| They grow a huge amount of their own food. The variety is amazing. Here are figs drying. |
 |
| Freshly picked strawberries for the homemade ice cream. |
 |
| Their entire home is like a still life painting. |
 |
| Including Falfa, napping on the kitchen table. |
 |
| Aldofo's pizza oven is amazing and he is a skillful chef. It is always fun to watch a master at work...building the fire, tending the pizzas and then remembering to take them out. |
 |
| All the toppings were picked fresh from the farm with the cheeses made while we watched. |

My favorite place in Italy.
Those toppings look amazing! Their white strawberries are so tasty! There is nothing like farm fresh food.
I can't get over how adorable Ben and Alfalfa are!
I hope you both have a magnificent time in Paris!
What a wonderful time. My kitchen actually looks similar all year round from all the harvesting in my garden. Never thought to call it a "still life" but it is! I don't have the beautiful kitchen and view to go with it however. Have fun in Paris. Denise1
Okay - ice cream and figs - my two favorite things to eat! Can I come for lunch? Looks like you had a great time in Paris - how can you not? We will be staying a night with Chuck & Hazel at the farmette in two weeks during our visit back to the states. Cheers from Brussels - Cathy
WOW! You cannot find that here for sure! Looks amazing! So jealous!
