After breakfast, time for a bit of a stroll and to pick up provisions for the day. At the bread shop I make sure I take a photo of this
it's a tap of warm chocolate - I wonder how many people would like to stick their face under that.
There's work to be done so we'll be staying in today and staring at computers though I have more free time to spend on cooking.
I turn these beautiful peppers into Giardiniera Piemontese inspired by a recent meal.
In the afternoon, we very much enjoy our liquid gift from Curtis and Leigh
- it's excellent with lardo crostini.
From Guido the butcher, I bought these lovely pork chops
and they are simply cooked in a little oil and butter and fresh sage
browned on each side - it only takes a few minutes.
and they are a great companion to the giardiniera.
Once again, Alba puts on a fabulous sunset.
