Yes, when are you going to write a book? Enough material from these blogs to do so! The reasons you have just laid out are the foundation for my obsession with Italy, very envious. Beata te!

Children is such a simple title and vast subject. we mixed culture families indeed give our children so much. Indeed I agree with Rebecca in her wonderful article that food, so important in italian life gives our children a base in so many areas of life. The Italian family meal lost in so many countries is the social centre of family life.

You sure they don’t want to move onto a houseboat in Sausalito?

I loved this post! I understand it so perfectly. I have a really hard time understanding the lack of roots that most NorthAmericans have. My family has been in the village for centuries, and that is HOME. At the same time though, I want Liam to feel at home both here and in Canada (and I am myself counting the days to his 19th birthday to kick him out of the house – only 18 more years and 2 months to go…).

And by the way, should the apocalyptic stuff happen, I will make sure to be one of those who come marching on Brigolante to claim it as their own. I can myself take care of that pig. ;)
