Passed the time on my ride back to Firenze

from lovely Lucca this afternoon reading Patricia and Walter Wells'

We've Always Had Paris. . . And Provence,

their mostly foodie memoirs (as I read it) of life in France,

and pouring over the tempting recipes they share.

Passed the 20-minute walk back to my apartment

musing over Patricia's Fettucine with Vodka and Lemon,

spent an hour or so then here, nella cucina, putting it together,

then a delicious 20 minutes eating it.
