Beautiful. And I’m not just saying that because he looks a hell of a lot like DS here.

So one of my colleagues was asking me just now about my personal tiramisù recipe/technique. When I told him I don’t make it at home, he said
“What? You don’t make tiramisù at home? Then you’re not a real Italian!*”
I wanted to say “But I do go home-a every night and I make-a da pizza pie!”
I also wanted to say, since he is Swiss, “Do you make watches at home? Do you make cheese or chocolate? What about looted artwork? Do you have a hoard of Nazi gold in a shoebox under your bed? No? Then you’re not a real Swiss!”
Ugh.
*I’m not, really. Just half Italian, daughter of an immigrant, but I do have dual citizenship & have voted in Italian elections. But whatever…
Oh! These travel posters for Italy are gorgeous! This one shows the busted-up aqueduct at Latina, south of Rome.
Prediction: DS and I will have a similar conversation while visiting the Portuguese countryside at the end of the month.
