Weekend Things π Chapter 7
a pasta I will take to my grave, a special spa getaway, and more secrets from Umbria & southern Tuscany
Welcome to Weekend Things - a little round-up of slutti dishes, places, tunes, and surprises from the weekend to help get you through your Monday slump. Itβs an easy read, with bits to bookmark, inspire, or just make you giggle.
There are many reasons to travel to Umbria. One is the name of the towns:
Umbria - what a golden nugget of a region, nestled between Tuscany, Lazio, and Le Marche. It really has the best of all worlds. Sure, it may not have a sea, which usually frightens me - I hate being landlocked. However, I managed to be distracted by other bodies of water. And, by that, I mean the spaβs heated saltwater swimming pool.
Did I say spa? Yes - Umbria is where it's at when you want to treat yourself.
So after you demolish a good lot of strangozzi (pasta) and a couple of kilos of porchetta and salumi, you can sweat it all out in the sauna or steam bath and be good as new for the next food marathon.
Yes, this was a weekend of the gods. And, I am sharing some special secrets.
