Hi, following on from my last post regarding Festa's for July & August, I searched on previous posts & would just like confirmation on what I have found so far:Pro Loco Festa- Porto San Giorgio - 5,6,7,8 JulyMusic - Colmurano - 11 & 12
Could anybody give me information on any Festa's small or large & of any kind, taking place throughout July & August? I have family coming over to stay & would like to take them!
Hi Everyone, looking for a really good vets for our 3 dogs, we are in commune Montegiorgio & if possible a 'little' English speaking :-) Thanks in advance
Hi, firstly I'm not asking this question blind, I have checked the previous posts :-) I have 3 large dog, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hungarian Vizla & Chocolate Labrador.
Esme, I totally agree with that it's perhaps not frugal to pack Baked Beans with the extra weight charges & in that case it may be cheaper to buy in Italy. However....Homemade Baked Beans are simple to make & surpass the canned version for taste & being 'Frugal' price! So for all Baked Bean lovers why don't you make big batches of them & freeze for upto 3 months
Angie, I had to send this to you :-) prep time - less than 30 mins Bake time - 15 -20 mins Makes 20-25 biscuits 125g butter 55g Caster Sugar 180g Plain Flour Preheat oven 190c/375f/Gas 5 Beat butter & sugar together until smooth Stir in flour to get a smooth paste Turn onto work surface, roll to 1/2 inch thick Cut into fingers & place on baking tray. Sprinkle with some sugar & place in fridge for 20 mins to chill. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until light golden brown. Distribute them out & let me know what you get in return...Maxine
Some interesting reading on this one & I too will be trying to be as self sufficient as possible. Hoping it won't prove too difficult. I am an outdoor person & love walking & cycling. One of my passions is cooking & baking & the commenti made about sharing within the local community with produce is correct. I will be producing as much of my own products as possible, also discovered blackberry bushes on my walks with dogs to pick for jams:-)) If I bake a cake for my farmer neighbor he returns daily with fresh produce for me. I make my own pasta & bread:-) Anyone wanting a Birthday or celebration cake making, I'd be more than happy to bake :-) Not sure how I can get around the meat suppy though, I love animals too much to breed & then pop them into the oven:-( Suppose I could call a favour to the farmer & not keep count on the chickens or name them!!! Looking forward to reading more interesting suggestions....Maxine
Thanks for the reply 'again' Badger :-) If you come across the brochure perhaps you could let me know what it's called & where I could obtain a copy...Maxine
You know, after I replied, I felt quite silly, thought it would be something like a Jack Russell, we too call small dogs Rats!!!! Bless, you must of been horrified! I guess you took him home with you then? That's the only problem being a dog lover in Italy, you just want to take them all home with you :-( Anyway, thanks for the reply & I'll try not to take any rats home :-))))
Hi, thanks very much for the reply, it's not that far away, we will give that a try :-) could I ask, when does the hunting season start, why & how do they use rats???
