Sausage and Sweets – Sharing the Love

Posted on: Feb 21, 2008
Quick! What do homemade sausage and bakery-bought sweets have in common?

- They both begin with the letter “S”

- They are both, um…food
- They are both found in Italy

And, they both ‘show the love!’

Heh?

Well, it’s true.

It’s common knowledge Pep spoils our construction crew. And, that wasn’t the only time. Every morning he prepares their choice of Il Cedro espresso or cappuccino, along with whatever we offered our B&B guests for breakfast.

Then, after lunch…it’s espresso round II!

Today, they shared the love with Peppe. Agostino, the uomo in charge, is from Gimigliano, a quaint village town about 20 minutes from Catanzaro. He and his family make homemade sausage, and today, he shared that sausage.

    OK, if it weren’t for the fact that I have been bombarded by sausage making, gift giving people withing these past few weeks, I would have taken huge offense to Peppe sticking his tongue out at me! LOL ;)
