My morning starts with breakfast in the courtyard, checking e-mails and going over plans with my cousin(s) for the day. Davide always makes the best cappuccino con latte di soya (with soy milk), and puts together a great tray of g-free goodies! And, his mother-in-law Franca gave me the recipe to bake Amaretti cookies (left) - made with almond flour - yummy!
This morning, I'm going to Conad, the local supermerato to do a bit of shopping, and to the outdoor mercato in Piazza Garibaldi. Andiamo!
I like to start on the fresh produce side of the market {always try to stay on the periphery of grocery stores, if you know what I mean}.
Always stop to buy a piece of sheep's milk formaggio.
Here I buy a slice of pecorino for snack time: Tre P
I make my way over to the "Senza Glutine" section:
Conad carries all the basics.
Now, let's check-out the mercato in Piazza Garibaldi.
This is the fishmonger of Sulmona, Gigi:
The fish shop has the best fish!
gamberetti freschi!
Love discovering new pesci from the Adriatic Sea...
On Saturday mornings the piazza is full of merchants - fun, fun, fun! Nonna sells herbs & veggies, hers is the best selection.
These tomatoes rock in salads!
Fiori di Zucca
Nonna's fresh herbs...
Last, but far from least, more carciofi porn - triple swoon.
Buon appetito!
As they say in Sulmona: A domani!
