Mile Long Pizza

This is a meter long pizza. Ok it's not a mile but as you can see a meter is long enough. This pizza is a speciality of the Spaccanapoli Pizzeria in Torino. You are allowed up to 3 different flavors i.e. vegetarian, ham, or napoli etc. I was thinking that I wish I could have seen the oven that cooks these bad boys.

Mid-Summer Windows

The mid-summer Hermes windows are quite different this week. The backdrops are made of hand cut felt. It has a India/Southwestern print pattern and feel. It makes such a strange and unique window that it catches your eye and you have to stop and take a look. It worked on me....
SIDE NOTE: I tried the cake recipe from La Bonne Femme's blog and here is my first attempt. Yummy!!

Crazy Italian Commercials 2

This commercial has a famous Italian show girl going to a special event and the limo breaks down and so she hitches a ride with a guy on a Pato Lambretta Vespa. At the end her date says "Valeria Why?" and she says, "Because he had a Pato!".


Where Am I?

What do Italians do on a Friday night? Line dancing of course! There was a BBQ and beer festival with line dancing in a nearby town. We went along to take a peek and it being the 4th of July and all I was asking myself, "Where am I?".
