In this edition of Foto Friday, I thought I’d give you a taste of some of the things I saw (and ate) on an almost daily basis while living in Florence, Italy.
First, is Cioccolatini which are brioches with chocolate filling and chocolate on top. Delicious. And not as sweet as you would think.
This is the pasta dish, Spaghetti con Aglio, Olio e Pepperoncini (Spaghetti with Garlic, Oil and Crushed Red Pepper), I had on the first day that I met my now fiance Bil. This dish is super simple like most of the food in Italy, but has amazing flavors.
This is us a few hours after I ate the pasta above. We are standing on the Ponte Vecchio (The Old Bridge) over the Arno River on a gorgeous end of summer day.
This is a Caffe Macchiato, espresso with a shot of frothed milk. I had at least one of these a day, usually two, taken in one gulp standing at a bar. Man, I miss that.

I remember the day you sent me that photo right after you got to Italy. “I met this guy”
