My Honey and I took a stroll through our town with friends. Summer weather, sunny and dry, is here to enjoy. We sat for awhile on a bench in a new square just built and planted. I love the old wall next to the newly painted one and the sculpture in the center. We have sculptures all over town. We ate gelato and admired the flowers. That's all. Seems like I've absorbed some of the Italian lifestyle.
It was our first gelato of the season from one of our cafes. I sat on the bench next to the profusion of flowers in the photo. Such lovely colors.
When we returned home my Honey made baked stuffed zucchini and salad with orange and fennel, served with a local white wine. Delicious. La dolce vita.
Wishing you summer's abundance and simple pleasures.
What a lovely way to spend a day!

ReplyDeleteIt was just one of those all round great days.
DeleteOK, are you and Honey going to share the zucchini recipe????
ReplyDeleteScoop out the middle of the zucchini and saute it with onion and garlic. Add fresh breadcrumbs with majoram, fresh grated nutmeg, flat leaf parsley and chives, salt and pepper. Stuff that in the zucchini and bake until tender. Yum!
DeleteAll of it looks wonderful. DH stuffs green peppers, eggplant, and militons... but has never stuffed zucchini...
ReplyDeleteAn Italian taste treat.
