I just copied your recipe for Pastiera - I didn't realise the "wheat" was buckwheat. I may be able to find that here. I have made it before but with rice and wasn't that over the moon about it. My Calabrian cousins rave about it. So armed with your recipe I will try again this Easter. Thank you!<br />Cappuccino in my town is drunk morning, noon and night. Though I have to say, I prefer it only in the morning. But that one looks like one to be drunk at any given opportunity.

She also wants her cappuccino when she wants it and doesn't care what time of day it is (again, except after dinner here - big no-no). I tend to agreee that here, espresso & sambuca make a great meal ending. I have favorite bars that I'll frequent in the "after lunch hours" just to observe the older Italian women coming out of the cappuccino closet. It's beautiful. Life is short - enjoy it your way! <3Val https://www.blogger.com/profile/17756024122711114873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-85225017666524396182011-03-26T12:15:22.398+01:002011-03-26T12:15:22.398+01:00Elenora..I cannot imagine having a beautiful cup o...Elenora..I cannot imagine having a beautiful cup of cappuccino like this placed in front of me at ANY time of the day.
