I was several minutes into my carrello progetto, cart project when I had my first (and I'd like to add only) mishap and decided I should document this event with a photograph in the event I was actually able to complete it. The mishap was nothing major, I had used the wrong screws to attached the bottom shelf to the side pieces and had to unscrew all of them. For someone who isn't particulary handy you have no idea how intimidated I was when I emptied the contents of the box onto the table to begin. Everything unidentifiable except the metal baskets. I had no idea that's how you make a drawer!

Can you smell that?.
This open-faced sandwich was sooooo good -- and sooooo simple to make! I titled it "Tuna Sandwich" but there's much more than tuna going on here. I first toasted a slice of hearty bread and then sliced fresh tomato onto the bread and sprinkled a bit of salt on the slices. Then a layer of fresh basil leaves, some buffalo mozzarella, a sprinkling of tuna packed in water (minus the water, of course) and then some finely chopped red onion. oh, and the real clincher is to drizzle e.v.o.o. (how foodnetwork is that?) and balsamic vinegar on top before enjoying.
This is the inside of my little church Chiesa San Niccolo, Church of Saint Nicholas. Hey, this could be Santa's church. I digress, it's on the end of the monastery structure that contains three apartments, one of which is mine. Although it's open every Sunday for prayers and/or viewing, mass is held only once a year on Christmas Eve. I have yet to see anyone inside this church on a Sunday other than my cats and the neighbor's dog, Leo.

It's the first day of Spring! Or wait, is it Christmas again??.
Look, I have a vegetable garden! Well it's not an actual vegetable garden yet, but it will be soon! After a little hoeing and weed-pulling and planting and watering and more weed-pulling and watering....
