Mercato
Don't Confuse Shopping With Shopping
“Shopping” is the English word and “Shopping” is the Italian word.
We’re learning to do life differently here in Italy. For the last 25 years, we’ve taken 2 weeks to build a grocery list and then we stop at Kroger and buy groceries. And that’s about it, every 2 weeks, for the last 25 years.
Marco?
Yep, and There’s a Story
But, I’ll tell it another day.
Grocery shopping is a lot different now.
Now we go to the market to get something fresh to eat over the next couple days. For the next few days it’s fresh, but, it’s got to be eaten within the next few days, otherwise it expires.
And, DOES IT TASTE FRESH?????
WHOA BABY!!!!!
Not Surprisingly, Market Day is a Big Day Around Here
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
I bought my latest cap/hat from Rockman a couple weeks ago, who has become a dear friend.
FRUITS AND VEGGIES
And it has been sweet to get to know the girls (and their dad, I think), at the vendor who sells fruit and veggies.
THE CHICKEN GUY
The “chicken-guy” has the best, forgive me, THE BEST rotisserie chicken, we’ve ever had.
COME AND VISIT
When you come to visit, we promise to help you enjoy “Giorno di mercato.”
I’M EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT THIS . . .
This week Naida bought a blanket she now uses when she makes me watch a Hallmark Chik-Flick with her.
And today, Naida bought some slippers with a little “foo-foo” on them.
They are SO-FAR outside her normal comfort zone. They’re barely long enough for her already small feet. They have a 1 inch heel, but they’re cute and we had the opportunity to support the locals.
