KG's Verses KM's

In the words of ABBA " Thank-you For The Memories " hum hum hum !!!

We have saved hard over the past couple of years to do our Italian & Beyond  FOOD TOUR , the Research & Development budget has had a real workout over the past couple of months that's for sure.

We have both sooooo enjoyed every KG's that has been " loving " put on !!!
Enjoyed  even more and more the 100's , proberly 1000's of  KM's that we have had to do to keep that belt in the same hole ... Ouch  now that was hard...
I must admit the cruise was my big down fall, as the walking did not out way the KG's ..
So we had to do some serious KM's in Venice and Italy over the next several weeks as our punishment, but not a bad punishment...
We have lost 2 inches ... Ha ray..  But not from the hips !!!
From the bottoms of our feet ....
We have walked heaps,  I would say to Sandy.... I just want to see what's over that hill ..... What's around that corner...  Sandy has humoured me and walked every Km with me.

As for the food journey
We have been to some truly amazing cooking schools and classes, cooked and eaten with fantastic  local families at their homes, cooked and eaten in some of the most traditional Osteria and Trattoria right up to misrule star restaurants,
meet many a world class chef, was wined and dined in the worlds 3rd best restaurant, tasted and made a variety of Italian and Japanese food ...
Two really truly amazing food cultures.

Sooooo Many Memories ...

- Oh a bit more breakfast R & D is needed ...

- Need to try that new dish we have leant to make ...

- Off to the markets to try some local inspired food ...

- Another cooking class and so much we have learnt ...

- 5 tastes of Italy - sweet - acid - fat - salt - aromatics ...

- Out to dinner so where should we go tonight ? what about the worlds No. 3
or a small local Osteria ...

I feel that all we have done over the past months is eaten ... " Poor Pete, where's the little violin so the readers can play you a sad squikey tune " !! ...

But really we have sooooo enjoyed the whole amazing food experience ...

I put it down not as a holiday, but as one of life's great experiences, and one that I have truly been sooooo blessed to have had and who else other than MY Sandy would I have wanted to do it with ... Love you

Also Ciao to my readers and thanks for coming on Our Food Tour with us ...
Hope you picked up a recipe or two and have given them a try ...
Can't wait to get home and try some ourselves.

All thought I was a very dislecticly writer,  with my bad spelling and not enough  of those little " , " and " . " thingy's I wrote as I speak , without drawing a breath.

But after all grammar is soooo overrated !!!! , don't ya think !!!

Love to you all  Pete xoxo
See you next time in the south of Italy and Scotland...
