it's been a while...

i really hate how you can't post a pic under text WHERE YOU WANT IT
why do the pics have to be on top?
this is gonna have to be addressed at the next blogger convention
chuck where are you?
anyway...

my mom just said to me, "you haven't updated your blog in a while"

the previous euro post was hard to top
very excited about my trip...i will be in milan 3 wks from today
some new developments...we are gonna spend a night in portofino
one of our italian "hosts" owns a home there

we are gonna drink rossinis

8 strawberries
champagne
To make the Rossini, puree 8 washed and hulled strawberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. Press through a sieve to remove seeds. Pour the strawberry puree into a coupe-style champagne glass. Fill the rest of the glass with chilled champagne. Garnish with a ripe strawberry. Serve immediately. Makes 1.

and...another fellow is gonna meet up with us in france on his big boat
he is single, from new zealand and only serves champagne on his vessel
this could be soul mate material
