I saw this comment from a Californian news item............Emerging Cuisines from Emerging Markets - As the world grows smaller, the selection of cuisines grows larger and guests’ palettes are begging to try new flavours.

Being a full time resident here in Italy, we are having a month or so on holiday in another EU country (not in the UK, our country of origin). Does anybody know what 'travel' related health cover are we 'entitled' to ?

I'm sure someone here will advise (hopefully)............I have some 30/40 false acacia trees (the ones with the spikes - ouch !), they have grown in the last 5 years to some 15/20metres high.

"Mr Berlusconi told Italian television: "Life in Italy is good. The restaurants are full. It's difficult to get a seat on a plane they're so busy; holidays are all booked up."There you go then, no financial crisis here !?S

Hi Penny, Where in Umbria is your friend? I'd be interested in the targetted footprint of Tooway to see if I could try it here in Le Marche, although I've been generally happy with Fidoka here for the last three years. I might get in touch to ask about a trial................. S
t this rate, my car will be up for sale soon and I'll buy myself an vespa (not the food !) S
very slightly different..(ok quite a bit different !) ..........having today returned from Bavaria............Just before I left, I filled the car with a tank of Deisel (140.9 per litre).................get home here to see that the price is 159 !!!!!!!!!!! Is this a new austerity measure ? S
My word, another year.................I woke up, realised that I was above ground and said, wow, I've made it into another year !! Happy New Year to one and all !! S
Too late, ...sausages and goulash coming out of my ears ! S
What WONDERFUL stories...................I could read these all day, mainly because they are real, what will the children think in years to come !! ??? A VERY Merry Christmas to all !!
From here (would you believe) in snowy BAVARIA !!! S
Whilst I cannot help with the queries that you have, it's very good of you to translate this info. I have been aware of the timings and costings for a few years but shamefully had not thought that anyone would be interested to know that (in the summer time), it is better to have most of your pool pump, dishwasher etc working through the night time (if possible) as it is a cheaper tariff. Well done, a lot of people will make use of this info, S
sebastaino, I tend to agree with your view, I suspect that the Chef Victor Casanova (that praises the food) may be a Marchigiano ? I havn't seen (as yet) much sign of 'tempura becoming a regular "italian" dish' other than at the nearby Japanese restaurant ........... buon appetito ! S
I think my neighbour calls it a very similar name - sounds like 'cheekoria', with the emphasis on the 'o' (as in orange) bit. He farms around our place and at times his wife (and others) come down and dig up baskets full of (what I think) is weeds, they say to me just take them, but weeds look all the same to me. I occasionally see cars parked up near the fields on the Piane de Falerone road with lots of people walking around with baskets picking greens out of the fields. They know what to do around here ! S
Hi Bella Caroline, "The Italians are all moving money out of the country at an ever increasing rate." I'm intrigued............where do you get this info from ? and where are 'they' moving their monies to ? S
