You know, I never thought I would love Italy so much. When I was in high school, I had a lot of Italian friends, and I thought I had a reasonably good grasp of the culture and cuisine of that country from having dined in countless downstairs kitchens, drinking homemade wine out of juice glasses or … [Read more...]
Mmmm… Malta!
Okay, just dropping in for a super-quick post (internet access on cruise ships is sloooow and costly!). But I had to share with you the unbelievable restaurant I went to in Mdina, Malta today.
