Just a warning for everyone, a few days ago a friend was badly stung by wasps that had formed a nest inside an outside shed, he was attacked when entering and required urgent hospital treatment.

I have a very good friend coming out to Italy to spend 2 months touring, and hopefully buying a small second home here.

Trying to find my way around this new community, and am slightly better than I was, but with so many threads I am now having difficulty in remembering which one I posted in, so searching for an answer is a task in itself, any easy way to track you

Duh guys...who eats pasta without a sauce?, Rolling Stones still rock, . Badger am going to try Zen in piano di Montegiorgio, friends said yesterday it was really good , and they are veggie so good for R, will report back.
Gala will settle for the Rolling Stones and a sandwich !.
Half of the enjoyment in eating a meal, especially in Italy is sharing it with friends, and with that in mind one of the best restaurants we have been to locally is in Ascoli Piceno, a place called Il Desco, highly recommend and a beautiful city to visit. With regard to paying huge amounts of money for food and wine, a) we could not afford it and b) to me it seems somewhat immoral....its that puritan ethic again.
Welcome to the forum Julia......hope you get lots of good advice, some very clued up people on here.
We would be interested as well, live 45mins from Sarnano, closer to the coast and have 5 very spoilt cats, and even with friends helping its hard to get away for a few days. May we have your prices please.
Our seasoned oak is lasting twice as long as previous years wood , and burning at a slow hot heat in the stufa...so if you want to do the maths 7e per qt in comparison, maintain you get what you pay for.
Thanks....the stove is on the ground floor and there are windows above, hence going above the roof line, good point Kensington to balance the price against the cost of gas...will pass your advice on.
Thanks Panner, when I told other friends they did joke was it retrospective?.......we will see.
We have just paid 15e, but that is for smaller cuts of seasoned oak....which is performing very well, you get what you pay for in the end and we are happy with the price when balanced against getting the chain-saw out and spending hrs on electricity when we have so many other jobs to do. Olive picking next and will do a post when that is finished...looks like a good year for us.
Sounds very interesting Badger....if there is a next time would you let us know please. We have Italian neighbours and friends who were involved in careing for escaping soldiers from the camp, and have done a tour of the remaining camp in Servigliano, and read some of the books written by ex-prisoners, fascinating stuff. It is such an important history of Marche during those years and should not be forgotten.
