welcome to the ultimate blog party!
It’s that time of year again–The Ultimate Blog Party is here!
The wonderful women of 5 Minutes for Mom are our hosts. There will be prizes and, best of all, lots of great blogs to discover, so get on over there and sign up!
I participated last year as well (you can read my welcome post here), but for those of you visiting for the first time:
I am an American who has been living in southern Italy for, oh my goodness, almost five years already. I have a P (my fiancé), a Luna and a Stella (my adorable pooches), and you can read plenty more about me here.
This blog is a place for me to keep family and friends up to date on my life as well as share my observations on Italian curiosities from governments collapsing to plastic ball protests to*big* mistakes in ordering shoes for policewomen to pasta strikes.
No, it’s never boring in Italia.
Especially with all the great food. Need a recipe? I’ve got plenty here, but how about some bruschetta al pomodoro to start off this party?
Please feel free to make yourself at home and have a look around–some of my favorite posts are here. And be sure to let me know you’ve stopped by!
Now I don’t know about you, but I have some serious blog-hopping to do.
P.S. For those looking for a post on Sicily, there are lots more Sicilian adventures on the way. Remember to keep an eye on my Sicily 2008 Flickr set for updated photos!

Yes, I do remember you from last year’s blogging party! Your template is different, where as mine is the same! So I ‘m hoping to win a make-over . . I mean it is really due!
As before I loved scrolling around and visiting Italy . . .I hope to make it real some day.
But as you said
MUCHO party hopping to do! I’ll be seeing you!
Party on!
Yes, your template is the same, but I love it, so that makes it OK…I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a makeover for you, though, since you want one so badly
Hope you make it to Italy too–if so be sure to let me know!
Oh how could I resist an invitation to visit Italy, especially when you have such great food on tap (I want to eat those egg plant balls now)! I’ve just skimmed your most recent posts as I have some massive strides to make to get to all the other blog party locations but I’m marking you for later in my RSS feed so expect to see me popping back.

Wow, what a great blog! I am another Michelle who is Italian. My dear cousin just put together our family tree, extending back many generations of Italians. I have a wonderful family history in Italy and the US. I love the recipes and pictures. Maybe I will post some of my recipes and pictures of my Italian family. We’ll see. But thanks for stopping by my party post. This has been a great way for me to find new blogs. I will be interested in reading yours often.
