I don't know where to begin as there is so much to comment on about this lovely post from the gorgeous scenary to your beautiful writing and for your fabulous little recipe. I noticed that one of your life changing moments was driving along the coast of Cinque de Terre at the age of 18. Just last year during the fall we made our trip from Marsielle and drove along the coast of Italy and ended in Bologna. Some of my most memorable moments were stopping off to get supplies and have a picnic along the beautiful scenic views along the way. Blue skies, fresh air and beautiful friends and food. Life is good!

I want to go! ’Nduja is a love of mine, too. First met it when in London at the Borough Market and bought it from a fellow there. One taste, and I was in love. That first pic is in that post. Then, when in Rome at the Testaccio Market, a gal I met there had married a man from the ’Nduja making town and took me to Volpetti's to buy more! YUMMMM!<br />Brought some home both times and you have me salivating now!<br />:)<br />VA Canadian Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525802223846633115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-83515133784025571292013-06-02T08:00:23.339-07:002013-06-02T08:00:23.339-07:00This is my kind of vacation!
