So...the lawn is done. The shower (and a double-sized one at that) scrubbed down. The floors mopped. The "kids" bathed, dried, and nails clipped. The monstrous old fennel cut down and ready to cart away. The kumquat fertilized, dinner done (oxtail soup), and the terrace swept for the 10th time because the "kids" think it's perfectly okay to leave the chestnut peels after devouring those that fall in the yard. The best part? Having my lardo d'Arnad photo featured in an italian restaurant and hospitality magazine, Italia A Tavola. I'm pretty stoked, and was sent a pdf copy of which I've snipped a part here.

is puppers sleeping with her mouth opened?? that is just too stinkin' CUTE!
the last picture. . .i'd like some of that. . .the chair, the drink, the hat, the feeling. okole maluna and here's to a great weekend!!
By the way... Jessica Alba looked incredible in that commercial. Wow...
Fern - merci beaucoup! It's a great feeling indeed. Food bloggers get so technical with images, striving for the "perfect" image. I don't care for perfect, it sounds...fake, like an airbrushed model. Ehh...I suppose that's why fastfood still appeals to so many? :-DDDD
CC Linda - thank you! I wish all days could end with a campari. On others, it might end in a gulp of scotch.
Welshcakes - Ms. Diva was rolling around in a towel just after her bath. The only non-blurry photo, actually!
RONW - thank you, and I curtsied. The photo is up for grabs if you'd still like to use it. Creme de menthe sounds nice...
Kat - today...was another pupule day. Only NOW I get to go online (8pm). Good thing MotH went to get pizza for dinner. I hope tomorrow is better!!!!
Nate - hahahahaha! It was MrB that came sniffing around my glass. He didn't show up in the shot.
Deb - no, no...she's rolling around like a maniac in a towel right after her bath. As for the chair, drink, and hat, the invite is always open!
Brad - I posted Jessica just for U!
one day i'll get there. i'll bring my hat . . . and SOME sort of food :D
By the way I remember that you would come to Istanbul to visit a friend. Did you?
Hope you and the family are having a wonderful weekend! :))
Nate - I am looking forward to the oxtail. Love, love, love that stuff.
Sophie, Zerrin - thank you, but it was a small thing, and I was just glad to be of assistance. Zerrin, we had to cancel Istanbul...couldn't solve the problem of having someone to watch our dogs! Hopefully next year we'll get to visit.
Petra - I just would like to find more traditional foods to discover (and eat) so I can take pictures! Hahahahaha! Seriously though, yes it was a cool thing, and they actually have a very cool website.
