Oh dear, cue more homesickness. Having dinner last night in posh restaurant thousands of miles away from Tuscany nothing on the fancy desert menu appealed and I said to hubby, why can't they offer something simple like Vin Santo with Cantucci? It is the best pudding on earth. I particularly like it when you have to use a spoon to fish out all the broken bits of soggy biscuits at the bottom. Nothing beats dunking. V

ps: someone on this forum has a signature along the lines of, "why do I have to travel when I'm already there". So true. Can't wait to get home.
