Jennifer, I don’t know how you did it without the Internet–not just for the ease of communication with family and friends but also for the “there, theres” of fellow women in your position. Especially when you’re a tad anti-social like both of us are, it’s easy to think it’s us, isn’t it? I’m so happy to hear it’s at least a little not only me ;)

Things have changed sooo much in Italy since I came here (1993). The ethnic food thing is getting better, especially here in Milan. There is even a wider selection of ethnic restaurants and most supermarkets carry some stuff now. Mostly though I've had to learn to improvise! More on that soon! Happy V day, hope you and P have a lovely day. <em>Joanne's last blog post..The Best Pasta Sauce in the World</em> <strong><em>I hope you will do this meme and also that you'll share some of your workaround secrets....</em></strong> ooooh, this I should really do, but not tonight.
