Tried to make this one a bit more personable, with some good clients and old friends in most of the shots. If you’re a meat eater, that Florentine steak is your Everest. Ever give blowing glass a try?

Don’t Skip Pisa
I’ve noticed quite regularly the “experts” on TripAdvisor suggesting people avoid an excursion to Pisa, which strikes me as unfortunate and misguided advice. It’s a wonderful little city, and there’s a lot more to enjoy besides the obligatory holding up the tower photo op, with culinary delights pretty high on the list.
Check out the ” il Ristoro di Frate Cipolla” blog. Definitely on our list of places to take you for some good company and grub in Pisa.
Pappa con Pomodoro
This is a great recipe–it’s interesting how Italian cuisine is often presented here in the US as expensive, prepared for the erudite, upper-crust food served with refined linens and exotic presentations by guys wearing tuxedos. That sort of thing certainly has its place, but one of the best parts of the food you’ll experience in Italy is the rustic, simple, and non-wasteful element. Some of the most flavorful dishes are peasant-inspired recipes passed down over generations by people who couldn’t afford to waste food.
Fresh basil, stale bread…delicious! Think we’re making this tomorrow.

Pisa.
Listening to this never gets old. It’s an easy excursion from Florence to go, it’s a shame so many people skip it.
