I’m back from Lucca comics & games, one of the biggest comics, games and cosplay fair in the world, I had so much fun and I met old friends walking about 10 miles a day.
I ended my long week end in Florence where I had a nice dinner with my blogger friend Berenice at The goose bistro, a cozy and lovely bistro in the heart of the city nex to the dome owned by a Scottish guy I know.
I had the chance to taste haggis, I liked it so much!
If this year I’m going to Ljubljana, last year I was in Munich; it wasn’t my first time there, Munich is quite popular place for Italians, but going there with my friend Elisabetta, a deep lover of Germany and Bavaria was a completely different thing.
I discovered lovely German place where to eat, I could wander around Viktualienmarkt, I could see any shop and any gourmet place around.
I never throw food away, if it happens is because what I’ve done is awful beyond any possibility to save it or eat it: it seldom occurs but it can happen.
Lately I’ve done some zucchini and fresh cheese patties taken from a magazine which, once baked, were slimy and smelled so bad I had to put everything in the trash can.
I want spend some words on all the recipes I’ve taken through the years from magazines, even high level magazines, which turned out epic fails.
I remember a chocolate and coffee cake good only for walls’ building.
September is in full bloom, this week schools are going to open after the usual long summer break ( about 3 months of holiday, it could sound strange abroad) and my son Lorenzo in three days is going to be a primary school boy.
Even if we cared a lot about introducing this new step with joy, trying to instill in him curiosity, he only got he’s going to hell or somewhere similar, he’s not going to have any friend and he will fail the year for sure.
It’s great having such a bright and positive son.
He’s harassing himself and us, these three days will be very long, I hope he will discover school is not this bad.
I’m introducing this brand new baking season with a very easy cake even if here the weather is still as hot as in July ( please autumn come here fast).
It’s all chocolate, it’s delicious and it’s great with some whipped cream on the side.
