We had a great weekend. The great thing about coming to Italy is seeing my friend and seeing her so happy. The even better part is seeing her with her family....and that they are Italian is an even better bonus! We got to go to Cuneo where Max grew up. Most tourists get to go to Florence or Rome (good thing I've already been to those!), but we get to go to where the locals eat and sleep. His family has a Mountain house which is in San Giacomo - about 1/2 hour from the triangle, plateau city of Cuneo. It was breathtaking up there, the house is beautiful and the mountains! It is about 45 mins from the French boarder, next time we'll be go into France! We are so lucky to see all of these places off the beaten path....
Here I am with Nonna Irene helping her make authentic Lasagna! No more ricotta or cottage cheese please!
