OMG! I'm going to Italy! Help! What would you bring back!?!
Comments (35)I brought back truffle oil, garden seeds, olive oil and wine. Italian seed packets are huge. Also, they add nothing to the weight and bulk of your luggage. The olive oil and wine were from a vineyard/olive grove tour. Four bottles were packaged for travel. Bologna is the main objective for my next trip to Italy. From what I've learned, it has the food I would most enjoy in all of Italy. That should be quite wonderful, since all the food I ate on my trip to the region around Florence was wonderful. For a month after that trip, I tried to duplicate those dishes on a daily basis. I did quite well for a while but now the memory needs refreshing. I need another trip. Mementos to bring home would be a low priority for me. The live experience is what's important -- the meals, the wine, the sights, the creature comforts which are abundant and essential to Italian life. They can't be packaged. The glass and pottery are beautiful though. I would probably shop for one of those serving bowls. Also, Italian shoes are the finest. Have a great trip.

Comments (10)Oh, I love appetizers! I'll bring a big platter of strawberries, both plain and chocolate covered and this dip: MARSHMALLOW FRUIT DIP 1 jar marshmallow cream 1 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese Mix together and chill. I was going to bring these little yummy biscuits, but it's too close to Marci's recipe: PIZZA BUBBLE RING 6 to 8 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 2 cans (12 oz each) Pillsbury® Golden Layers® (Jr. Grands) refrigerated original biscuits 40 small slices pepperoni (about 3 oz) 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 pieces 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/4 cups pizza sauce, heated Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix melted butter,Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits; press or roll each into 3-inch round. Place 2 pepperoni slices in center of each biscuit round. Top each with piece of mozzarella cheese. Bring dough up around filling; press edge to seal and shape each into ball. Roll in butter mixture; place 10 balls in pan. Sprinkle dough balls with Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining can of biscuits, placing balls over balls in pan. Pour remaining butter mixture over top. Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Gently loosen bread from sides of pan. Place large heatproof plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Serve warm with warm pizza sauce for dipping. Can substitute Italian sausage for pepperoni....See MoreAdvice on perennials
Comments (4)I'm here. But I have no idea what isn't available in the US so I'm not much help either. Plus I don't actually buy many seeds or plants myself. My garden is probably smaller than your living room Ken. Campanula and Malorena probably know much more about this than I do as they are both big growers from seed. I looked up the Touchwood woman. She is not selling overseas because she has got downy mildew and doesn't want to be responsible for exporting it. So maybe you shouldn't buy from her if you are taking seeds out of the country. I can only recommend browsing the racks at any garden centres you pass and seeing what is there. Mail order offers a greater selection but how would you do that if you're travelling? What countries are you visiting?...See MoreKyoto Recommendations
Comments (7)Kyoto is faboulous! Here are the notes I kept from my trip there: Stay near the Gion district. bars / shops / restaurants. super pretty and fun to explore in the evening. also, it's the Geisha district! Note there will be a few fake ones in costume. I felt like I could tell the difference, the few authentic Geisha I spotted were positively resplendent. Eat okonomiyaki! (no specific recommendations, there are many okonomiyaki restaurants there, and you likely will not go wrong.) Book time at an Onsen, (hot springs bath). there are some that are co-ed, some not. some public, some private. Hotel rec: Kanra. Modern meets traditional. Super fancy, worth it for the deep wooden soaking tubs and close proximity to Gion district. Fushimi Inari Shrine (1,000 torii gates). I'm guessing it was already on your list since this is the one of the main things Kyoto is known for. It's positively jaw dropping. You don't have to go to the very top, but if you do, give yourself several hours....See More- last month
