Simply Squisito!

I haven’t managed to post on a daily basis since I have been dog-sitting my in-laws dog, but here goes…
On Monday, we went to Squisito! 2008 in San Patrignano. Squisito is a big fair dedicated to fine wine and food that brings together big name Italian chefs, journalists, food & wine artisans, and of course, food & wine lovers. One of the most interesting aspects of this event is that it is organized and held at a rehabilitation facility, called San Patrignano, for men and women who have serious drug abuse problems. It was inspiring to see the people from this community working at this huge and well-organized event. We had the opportunity to taste test traditional cuisines from all over Italy. Our mouths were so busy that we forgot to take pictures of the actual food that we were eating. The photos we did take do not do justice to the event either. So we basically spent most of the day stuffing our faces and having a good time. Unfortunately, we will have to wait another year to go back.
