The 'firsts' of many yet to come. We are exploding with sensory overload here in Umbria. The beauty, colors, sights, smells, are all extraordinary, and beauty matters (a discussion I've been having with a number of our artist friends). We feel so lucky to share this bounty with good friends. Just seems the right thing to do.

Early Spring greens foraged in the morning by Moreno and liquefied in a bowl by one of the world's great chefs: Moreno's wife Giuliana of Locanda Gambero Rosso.  This place is heaven on earth (go into our archives and find our other posts on this extraordinary trattoria). And, it's planting time for the orto.  Primavera arriva! Finalmente!
