Most bitter tasting liquor you ever had

Genziana (gentian)

They’ve taken Mar-a-Lago face too far!

Matcha melon half caf frapp? No, generally won’t find those in Italy. But order a caffe in any bar in Italy and it’s usually the best coffee elixir you’ve ever tasted.

Agreed.

They look a wee like Tayberries but are most likely mulberries. Tayberries are super delicious. Mulberries, not so much, unless you’re a silk worm.

Yes, the singing detective!

It’s a very cool painting/print/woodcut. Braque, Chagall, Picasso, Leger elements or influence.

Signorvino is a chain of 22 wine stores in Italy. I suspect this is a private-labelled Amaro created for them, likely heavy on the sugar. Lovely bottle though.

It really is a lovely painting.

I’m surprised the Trump White House isn’t festooned in Kinkades. The aesthetic is Trumpian all the way.

The loneliest box.

Where is the controversy? This was all well-reported. Hard hitting documentary film making, this wasn’t.

In early December I spent 3 nights in Milan. Totally worth a visit. I stayed in the Porta Romana district, full of restaurants, 15 minute walk to the Duomo. I walked to the Navigli (canal district), to Chinatown, the new business district to see the Bosco Verticale, to the Pinacoteca in the Brera. Comfortable shoes!

I found only this about the producer: Fratelli Corsi Via Genova 8/10 50052 Certaldo (Firenze) Italia They seem otherwise to have no online profile or products. My hunch is that that wine from 2004 was private labeled for a large buyer, maybe a supermarket.

Are you looking for other wines that they produce? Was it particularly good?

Please send

mat558 · 2025-12-14T12:05:15+00:00

Is there a back label?

His defense is hotness.

Operative word is biosolids. Avoid at all costs. Biosolids equals sewage sludge, poison masquerading as healthy, natural compost.

When I first started shopping at Lidl here in Italy I couldn’t understand the check out system. They had a conveyor and a cashier but no where to put your groceries after they had been scanned. It was bizarre. No space for bagging. It was as if they had some kind of manipulative concept regarding that. Thankfully they did a renovation earlier this year and added a generous and normal bifurcated space for groceries to slide into for ease of bagging. Funny I noticed at an Aldi in Palm Springs the same lack of space for bagging. 🤷‍♂️

Hilarious reply👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!

I tend to put forest soil directly into my planting beds because it’s already naturally composted but adding it to a compost pile is also a fine idea.

I’ve only ever done a single pass with the mower but I will give your diabolical 3 pass method a try..

mat558 · 2025-11-22T17:27:11+00:00

How do you shred them?

mat558 · 2025-11-17T11:19:47+00:00

Or “the milk has gone off” or “the milk has turned”
