Any holiday that focuses on coffee is a good holiday!

Actually, any day that has coffee is a good day.

Have a great 4th of July,

Barbara

Any excuse for a party, right? Especially a party with food? See, this is why Americans of Italian and Jewish descent get along so well. We have similar cultural imperatives.

So it’s not exactly apple season, right? So what are you using for your pie apples? In spite of all the gorgeous farmers’ markets that make me drool in abject covetousness every time you show a picture of them, do you in Italy also eat the same fruit out of season from halfway around the world year-round that we do? I thought that was just an American thing.

Our apples come from northern Italy (the ones in the pie were from Südtirol (Alto Adige)), where at least some types are grown year-round apparently b/c they’re certainly available year-round (thank goodness–I *love* apples). Bananas (also not grown in southern Italy) are the only other fruit that is coming to mind that we can get pretty much anytime.

Well, lemons are pretty ubiquitous as well, but that’s because we’re surrounded by them.

So apples in the apple pie! Woohoo!

D’oh! I completely forgot about the apple pie. Fortunately, our grocery stores never ever close. God bless America (and Safeway).

Ciao Bella! Happy Independence Day to you, too! I’m back from the states, but like so many other expats, I’m rustling up some American-style grub here in Naples. How wonderful that your mom is visiting. Yippee!!! ~Tui
