While I am getting my head together after our 5 days in Italy, here's a little diversion for you.This just came my way, via an American friend who's busy singing in European opera houses. Before you read the next paragraph, can you guess which opera this might be' Probably not, and that's the charm of these German "concept" operas, where the director feels s/he has to make a statement of some

I have made the most rockin' of bread ever. And by far the easiest. Almost easier than using the breadmaker. This bread is better than any bread I can buy in the bakery, even here in Italy. It is simply that good.This is going into my rotation of breads for the season. I am going to try a million variations: olives, rosemary, sage, onion, walnuts. Rye, wheat, spelt, oats. You name it.

Apparently someone considers everything in the shared kitchen space to be fair game for shared consumption. Here are a few excerpts from these emails:3 weeks...

Having spent all day with a client yesterday, today was my first day back in the office. I got in early, luckily enough. By 10am I was in the boardroom for training. It was my turn to learn.All was fine until the introduction of "if Dot-Com can learn this, anyone can". Erhhhh what'! Did someone just imply that I was the most stupid person in the office' The next hour or two I was constantly reminded that "this is real easy", and yet I never saw much of it. How is this to be done was typically...

What with election shenanigans, media manipulation investigations, and other fun and games, those watching Italy could, perhaps, be forgiven for thinking that Italy is one huge great reality show. A surreal mix of Big Brother, X-Factor, and Love Island, perhaps' Leading the Big Brother house, and all the other reality flavours, we have one Silvio Berlusconi, who is also participant, director, producer, and scriptwriter. Yes, recent events do seem to have converted the Living Museum into the...
