Back, sorta

We returned from 10 days in Italy this afternoon.  One might think that the hard part is adjusting to the 6 hour time change or the very different takes on food here vs. there.  For me, neither of those is a huge issue.  Sleep deprivation has been a way of life for me, as it probably has been for you, since high school and while I have written a lot about my love for Italian cooking as it is done in Italy, the real hard thing is to adjust to getting good service, honest pricing, and the occasional sincere smile back here in the USofA.  Sometimes that grass isn’t always greener!

I’ll write more about this next week since I want to think about it a bit more. It’s always great to be home in your own bed, while I will be for a night and then on to out-of-town meetings.  I just wanted to post something now that I have web access to let you know that I appreciate those of you who’ve come to the blog in my absence.  I’ll try and reward your diligence with the usual daily posts.  Grazie mille!
