In one week I am going to take a two week break from blogging June 18 - July 2. I am going on vacation to visit my #10 traffic country, Italy.

Here is my current traffic for last 5 months with about 62,000 visits.

Of that Italy is #10.

United States (US)

United Kingdom (GB)
3,516

India (IN)
2,679

Canada (CA)
2,489

France (FR)
1,695

Germany (DE)
1,256

Australia (AU)

Japan (JP)

Netherlands (NL)

Italy (IT)

Did I pick Italy because it was #10? Of course not, but it is a bit of trivia that Italy is #10 in my traffic.

I am going to spend a week in cooking school, Tuscan Women Cook run by Texans.

Morning classes include both hands-on cooking and demonstrations at local country homes, plus visits to food artisans, olive oil producers, local food markets, and food festivals. We will stop and buy the day’s ricotta and Pecorino cheeses from local farmers. The classes are taught in Italian and are translated into English. Tuscan Women Cook is an insider’s view of true Tuscan seasonal cuisine.

I am the main cook in the family, and getting ready for my new cooking toy a WoodStone Oven.
