Giorno Diciannove

Piove!  Fa cattivo tempo il tutto giorno. (It is raining.  Bad weather all day.)


We walked a bit and did a little grocery shopping. At noon we did eat outside at Osteria Vispateresa . Dow had Tortelli lucchesi al ragù then uova con tartufo nero (Eggs and truffles). I had tagliolini al tartufo nero (tagliolini with black truffle) then Cinghiale in umido con olive (stewed wild boar with olives).  It started to rain as we finished - so hurried home - great timing.


Did some reading in the afternoon. We, of course, managed to squeeze in a gelato.


In the evening we couldn't go out on the balcony – lighting and thunder storms. The noise is so loud as it bounces off buildings.  Started to clean the apartment as we have 2 days left after today. We take our COVID test tomorrow.


I went to see Pasquale at his restaurant to discuss some wines to buy. He was closed due to a kitchen problem. He asked me to have some wine with him. We talked about food and wine for a half hour – fun and precious.


Rain, but people are still out
just a simple table setting here!
