Ciao Stefano,
I am sorry that I didn't answer when you asked me whether I am Italian.
Yes
I am and I come from
the Toscana region, a place near Lucca.
I can see that you are a good cook. I often cook melanzane, but what we
get
in the UK, specially out of season, are not as good as the Italian ones.
How is your quit going? I am just about reaching the first month without
smoking, it has been hard in the past, better now, and
I am determined to make this one work.
As it would be rude to write in Italian here, if you like you can email me
at :
senzaquesto-mariel2chiocciolantlworldpuntocom.
Buone cose, ciao.
Maria
