Settling in to the Italian countryside. We are in Le Marche. Found a fabulous ristorante called Castello de Marte, run by a young guy named Fabio - no, not him. Our guy buttons his shirt.This is a tiny little village. Some older Italians are chilling in the square drinking whiskey and playing cards. Is this what older Americans would be doing if we had a real social safety net and a younger retirement age? I'd like to find out.
Anyway, back to th
e food. Since it's the closest place to our lodging, we dined here for dinner last night and then again for lunch today. Have consumed a lot of cured meats, asparagus - very much in season - and of course pasta! All washed down with some local wine. I'll be sending some of this home to SoCo.If you are ever near here, I would heartily recommend you make your way over to see Fabio. Mixing countries, our dinner last night was all omakase. We ordered nothing, but everything came. I think we had 5 starters. It was pretty incredible. Our only choice was which wine to drink. It's nice not have to give too much thought to where you'll eat and then what to order. It was very much appreciated.
This is ideal. I think it's nap time. Ciao.

That sounds sooooo fabulous. Mail me some of those apps.
Sounds great, and I want to live just like those old guys: drinking whiskey, playing cards, sitting in the sun.
Don't know if you've ever been to Rome, but if you are going, beware: they will run you over and then curse at you for denting their cars.
Which part of Silver Spring is this? Certainly sounds a lot like the Macaroni Grill on (H)Ellsworth.
Oddly enough, this guy Fabio got his training at Macaroni Grill. Small world, huh?
IT'TRUE...CASTELLO DE MARTE IS VERY STRONG!!!!COME HEARE!!!
