Very nice oven, that one. It's very akin to the rural ones you find here
along the Po valley.
Isn't it amazing to use a centuries old oven the way it has been built for?

Yes it really is. I ask everyone for details, because people were still
using this in the 60s. It took a foreigner to decide getting it back
together was worth the trouble, but then until I made the garden there, it
was a nasty cornfield, so I guess it wasn't so tempting to spend the day out
there cooking and eating.

Shall I invite you when we do the big cook off? Pandora should come as
well.

Here those ovens are left unused since the time period you said, in the
sixties, when even the last rural families left the famrlands and went to
the city. Now some of them are getting back in use thanks to Food & Wine
Festivals as "Cantine Aperte" (open wineyards), which has been the reason
one of these ovens got back in use hereabouts. They use it during the event
to bake bread they roll "in bellavista"

> Shall I invite you when we do the big cook off? Pandora should come as

WOW! This is a very a nice idea, and it's very kind of you, too!
Umbria is a 3 hours drive from here, I really hope we can arrange for this
cook off. I could find a location near there and spend a couple of days in
that heavenly region. And, if the stars align correctly (crossing fingers),
I could get there with my old-new-old girlfriend: she's a foodie, too. Or..
better: she's more of an oenophile but she likes baking, too.
Where in Umbria are you located? I checked the webpage you linked just for
the oven and didn't look for other infos since I'm at work, but I'll be
checking it better this evening.
And.. thanks!!
BTW - where's Pandora? I'll email her right now.

My partner in the cooking school has a great B&B near me called Casa
San-Martino for which there is a link on the DISCOVER (school) page.

I think Boron and you should come for sure, but all T shirts are on y'all.
It would be fun to have a real cookathon, wouldn't it? We'll probably ruin
some things, though, since no one knows exactly how foods react, how long to
cook, etc. nowasays.

My fellow teacher was just by and offered geese from her farm-- can you
imagine Byzantine spiced goose cooked in there over a big tray to catch the
fat? One could warm up the morning's focaccia and pile goose meat and
crackling on it.

Then you and Barb should come to the cookathon too. Everybody shall
bring something possible to cook in it and we shall cook and eat for
12 hours. We can drink farm wine from my neighbors which is 1 euro
per liter.

Vilco can correct if there really is a vernacular term for it, but straight

It's a splendid book, too. My house is nowhere near as therapeutic. If you
are crazy, I really don't care. On the other hand at one euro per liter,
drinking is no problem, it's the later peeing that may be, with only one
toilet. They never write about that in novels, do they?
As long as you are not bigoted or foul mouthed and are capable of cowboy

I have no idea what cowboy ideals are.... do they have anything to do
with spaghetti westerns?

Here's a web site you may enjoy, if you like cowboy common sense.

OOO! I love goose. I still have some rendered goose fat in the

I'll bring t shirts. I'll make bread dough. I'll eat goose! Barb can

any more.

I am not bigoted and have four pairs of cowboy boots: ostrich,
alligator, snake, and cowhide. Also I am foul mouthed and don't mind
peeing in the bushes. But these days I can't buy many euros with my
US bucks, alas. Umbria may be beyond my budget.

Yes, almost correct. The fact is, are pickles only under vinegar? If so,
then "cappello di sottaceto" or "cappello da sottaceto" or "cappello a
(forma di) sottaceto" would be perfect. But if pickles can be made with oil,
also, than one would have to choose between "cappello a sottolio" and
"cappello a sottaceto"... Who knows? Anyway, almost all of the pickle hats I
saw (in pictures, obviously) were cucumber shaped, so one could call them
"cappello a certiolo" (cucumber shaped hat).

Start washing mouth with soap, because my neighbors never swear-- ever.
Cowboy boots are winter wear here, but cowboy ideals -- pure of heart and
deed, fair to all and generous as the day is long -- that's for all year
long.

Thank you. It is important to get these thibngs straight when you know
someone who wears a distinctive piece of clothing. She'd have to explain it
to the dogana.

When saying pickle in the US it generally means sottaceto or agrodolce, but
not always cetrioli, sometimes, buccia di anguria or cavalfiore or green
tomatoes and chili peppers.

I can swear in several languages. Perhaps I can find one your
