Overdue

When I first traveled to Italy I promised this blog’s followers that I’d try to post something every other day.  As is evident from the post dates, the promise was broken.  There’s a good reason, though, and I’m certain you’ll understand.  When I boarded flight AZ 0631 I expected I would spend some leisure time in Florence and learn how to prepare Italian Pastries and Desserts.  I thought I’d have long and lazy days, as well as time to reflect and enjoy Italy.  Instead I worked every weekday in a Pastry Shop and attended class for the rest of the day.  On some days classes ran until 8:30 p.m. Family or friends visited every couple of weeks.  And time just flew by.  I did sit at the computer and begin a few posts but things just kept coming up. Wouldn’t you rather be out-and-about roaming beautiful Firenze?  And roam we did!

This blog is about food and we’ll pick up where we left off.  I promised you “Bread” and bread you will have.  By the way, speaking of promises…during the time away, I learned one very valuable lesson.  For years I heard mom and dad say: “listen to what people do, not what they say they will do”.  A lifetime later I think I get it.  I met some beautiful people in Italy.  One of them helped me figure it out.
