Night, jj. Peaceful lurking and playing games and sleeping. 
Honestly, no... most of the food was good but not spectacular. However, the best two meals we had there were prepared by the same people. We stayed at a villa in Tuscany our last week. The guy that runs it has a 'reception' on Saturday evenings to welcome everybody. His mother and wife make a HUGE spread of 'finger foods' and it was fabulous. Then, on Thursdays they cook a delicious meal. There was a charge for it, but was very reasonable. It included appetizers, then a bowl of spaghetti (homemade pasta and all), then ravioli, then steak and sausages his dad cooked over the fire while you were eating the first courses, and turkey. Then tiramisu (homemade and absolutely delicious!) and homemade biscotti. Plus all the wine you wanted. I was so stuffed after that meal!!
Congrats jag!!!!!!!!!!!!
You weren't paying attention to post numbers were you?

Wow.....sounds so good. Did you bring me a doggie bag?![]()
It really was a memorable meal. And I didn't even mention the side dishes of vegetables they had! Plus, they grow a lot of their own food, so everything was fresh! They even make their own olive oil and wineIt really is a beautiful place.
Oh, and the lemonchelo (sp?) is homemade too! I actually started hiccuping after a small glass of it!! It was potent stuff!

Limoncello
Ingredients
10 lemons
1 (750-ml) bottle vodka
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
Directions
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
