“La Raccolta Olive”: A City Girl Gets Her Day in the Fields

We have eleven trees. Five are very young -- we planted them ourselves two years ago -- and as expected, each only made a handful of olives this year. Our two older trees produced like pro's, and the others were negligible. Since the press will only take customers with a minimum of a quintale, or 100 kilos, we combine our olives with our neighbor Ippolito, from whom we bought our house.

That’s Entertainment / Part II

The leisure-time options in small town Italy are rich and truly entertaining. With a healthy sense of humor and joy in tradition, there's plenty to do if you just look around you. There is the annual Castagnata, the Saint's Day, the Polentata, and much more.

Cooking with Earthquakes

It's always an adventure and a delight to cook in Italy. Everything is super fresh and interesting products add convenience and enhance flavors. For my first fall season in Le Marche, I found the pleasures of cooking and eating a comforting distraction from natural and manmade disasters.

Palpable Fear: Living with the Earthquake

We were half awake at about 7:45 on Sunday morning when we heard a loud, deep rumbling. The house began to shake violently. The noise and shaking lasted about 30 seconds, which of course felt much longer. We quickly got dressed and made our way downstairs. Our house was still whole.

The Earthquake, Viewed from Afar

Back here in the States, we try to remotely assess the damage to our town, Penna San Giovanni which is a good 2 hour drive through and around the mountains, from Norcia, the epicenter of the quake. We are trying to get in touch with friends and neighbors and gather information about our house

Il terremoto, vissuto da lontano

Da New York abbiamo seguito con apprensione le notizie sul terremoto che ha colpito un'area a poche ore dalla cittadina in cui si trova la nostra casa nelle Marche. Abbiamo cercato di farci un'idea di cosa sia successo e di capire se ci fossero danni alla nostra proprietà

A Day in the Life: Coming to You Live from Le Marche

The time has come for us to get online. After a day in the quietness of the town, it's good to be reconnected with our imperfect world. Our daughter will go to college and we'll be able to see her face across the ocean when we're in Le Marche. Change comes to our house -- life goes on.

A Tale of Police, Figs and Considerate Thieves in Italy

My husband and I had our first encounter with the police in Italy and it turned into a chat. We didn't get arrested, but we learned how to grow figs. The second encounter happened when a thief tried to steel our tools and we had to file a report. We like to think that the law is on our side
