I'm definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working - if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.
I managed to reach a depth of self-loathing that usually takes a night of drinking to achieve.
I think there's a tendency to over-jack and over-umami food these days.
My family is very far from normal.
I'm not going to get off the pony as long as they let me ride it.
Italy is hard to beat. It's a family-friendly experience, they like to see kids in restaurants, and at dinner you see all the adults at the table and all the kids at the other end of the table. Maybe they run off and go play.
