In addition to enjoying a lot of coffee breaks, I have been speaking a lot of Italian and of course…eating a lot of cibo (food).

Plainly put I’ve been letting myself go.

It’s not that I haven’t been eating fruit and vegetables but they have been overthrown by pizza bianca (long rectangular slabs of fresh pizza dough seasoned with salt and brushed with a high quality olive oil), pizza al forno, cornetti (sweet croissants), fresh buffalo mozzarella, gelato and some…

With all the elasticity rooted deep in Italian culture the one constant is il cibo (the food) and mangiare bene (eating well).

Their is a freedom here to enjoy food and as you can tell I’m taking full advantage.

What would you love to eat this weekend?  If it involves anything Italian I have probably had it in the past 48 hours.

Enjoy!
