un caco? I don't know the name of the fruit in english..
mmm ... you might find this interesting: http://www.jstor.org/pss/622794 I have no idea of who Mr Lynn is...where was his article published? Paola
Thank you, I will sign up! I also decide to advertise on the new ryan air web site, but I am not quite sure if it was a good idea... the site design is apalling... time will tell!
Lorraine, thank you for the advice on Force Travel Club! I wasn't very sure myself, but you just nailed the argument! I am with owners direct but I might try holiday rentals next year... althouth it seems to be ever so slighly dearer. I can't complain though, I got 3 bookings out of 4 from owners direct... Paola
I made chestnut past ain the past and found it a bit difficult...the dough is not quite as eleastic as the normal one. If you made pasta in the uk you might have had a problem with the flour... it behaves differntly from the italian one.. I was fairly successful with a pasta flour I think it was from Doves. A tuscan friend of mine who lives in Glasgow too just buys her flour in Italy!!!
I would say it is safe! I would travel solo almost anywhere in Italy really..
You can buy chestnut flour in the uk. http://www.shipton-mill.com/flour-direct-shop/speciality-and-rare-flours...? and in some lucky cases even in Tesco! then for 4 people:
Mix the two flours and add a good pinch of salt. Mix in the egg and then add warm water until you reach the right consistency. Work your dough until is elastic, then let it rest wrapped in cling film for half an hour. It is ready for tagliatelle, I just use my Imperia pasta machine. Paola www.latoca.co.uk
Have you tried ebay? Paola
I used owners direct as well and got 2 bookings out of it... so I would say not a huge result but I got my money back. Yesterday a company called www.forcetravelclub.co.uk got in touch with me with the following offer: WEB LISTING £149 for a 12 month term Text + picture + web link + info form + email to a friend + special offer voucher I don't think I will do it just now, but maybe its worth checking it...
