How would you like to have dinner ready every night without having to cook?

Once and for all by  Personal Chef Grazia

How would you like to have dinner ready every night without having to cook?

Now you can !!

No, it’s not a dream . . . this is my idea:

We decide a menu for the week that everyone agrees upon – for example:

- Monday: Pasta with ragu

- Tueaday: Arista and Peperonata

- Wednesday: Gnocchi di semolino with formaggio

- Thursday: Pasta alla Amatriciana

- Friday: Dill salmon filets

Expat Life

Lotuses bloom in mud: a meditation on an expat dream disfigured

 

Dear Readers,

We modern-day expats are fortunate in that we move around by choice: chasing job opportunities, new lifestyles (ugh–that word), even love. We are not typically motivated–like so many of our ancestors were–by hunger or persecution. In a way, I think this makes us a rarefied and spoiled bunch. We can look at things with the objectivity and aloofness of someone who has a lifeboat at the ready, should the ship sink. We always have, more or less, the luxury of leaving.

Great Article: Florence for Children

Florence for Children: January 2012 events

by Laura De Benedetto on http://www.arttrav.com

It’s freezing, kids (and adults) have the flu and it’s a real pity as there are so many things to do and see around Florence… and it’s also a great time to take a winter break, like to Val Gardena where Family hotels make life easier for children and parents. Here is a selection powered by our kids’ correspondent Laura and three year old Francesco.  Read more at….

MumAbroad Would Like to Interview Some Expat Mums

Dear Mums

I am the co-founder of MumAbroad which covers Spain (www.mumabroad.com) and France (www.france.mumabroad.com). We are based in Barcelona where we are members of the Barcelona Women`s network which FAWCO supports.
We are currently in the process of developing MumAbroad Italy. The MumAbroad sites are aimed at International Families living in or relocating to their respective European countries and what is unique about the sites is all the listings have been recommended by a local mum or dad.
The other key aspect about our sites is that we feature interviews with local Mums in order to get a real slice of life about living as a parent in their region.
We were wondering whether any Firenze Mums would be able to help us find Florence-based Mums willing to do a short interview via email about their experience of life as a parent living in Florence? We would be really appreciative.

I look forward to hearing from some of you soon.
Carrie
