Blog Closed for Vacation
Or, in italiano:
Yes, Bleeding Espresso is ready for a break, although I personally am not going on vacation. I’ll still be here in Badolato, still working full-time, and still making appearances on Facebook and Twitter, but without writing blog posts, I’ll have more time to spend with P’s family (many of whom are visiting from around Europe) and enjoy all the fun stuff going on here in the village throughout August:

Come join in if you need a ferie too!
Buon agosto!

Enjoy your well deserved vacation from the world of blogging! Eat some grilled calamari and a bucket of mussels for me.
Can it be fried calamari, Gil? We’ll be having those before the week is out 🙂
Buon estate!!
Altrettanto!

I think you should go down to the beach and pinch some boyz. It isn’t something you can get away with forever, yanno.
You make an excellent point, Judith.

I like calamari anyway they serve them: grilled, fried, stuffed, pickled (seafood salad), etc. The best calamari I ever had were stuffed ones that we had in a restaurant in Taormina overlooking the sea! The waiter also introduced me to a sea urchin or two and introduced my wife daughter and me to native Sicilian strawberries! That was on my first trip to Italy. We found ourselves eating dinner at midnight as it appeared that the restaurants didn’t even open until 8:30 or 9:30 pm!
Yup sounds like the south, Gil…all that food sounds *so* good!
I’d love to see the tarantella festival! Maybe next year. Have a great Ferragosto!
I’m excited too, Deb! This is our first year hosting it 🙂
Enjoy your time off!
Thank you 🙂
Ciao Bella, what a great idea !
This is so Italian and your blog is in Italy !
Relax and have fun !
Thanks Suzie! Hope you’re having a great summer!
Buone vacanze, have a good relax knowing that you have lots of friends that follow you all year long! I’m looking forward in 2 hours to lunch with friends at Castelgandolfo, overlooking the Lake of Albano. Brinderò alla vostra salute! Cin cin!
Salute Carlo!

You’d better not be reading this. You should be away having lots of fun and having a thoroughly enjoyable break, eating amazing food and hanging around fabulous people.
And *not* reading this.
Don’t let me down now.

Sorry! Still working…can’t help but read comments 😉

Enjoy the time off, but I do hope you’ll return with lots more recipes and just little snippets of life in Calabria… I love hearing stories of your photo adventures and P being able to identify the locations… his family, the area… it’s the simple things that are so interesting to me. Thanks for writing!!!
Thanks so much for your feedback, Alicia! Be back soon 😀
