Blog Awards - Expatsblog.com



I am very excited to announce that News From Italy has been accepted by Expatblogs.com as a contender for one of their awards. May I please ask you to leave a comment there about News From Italy? This would be very much appreciated and help to improve my blogs rating.

Thanks lovely followers. :)


I have also shared the photo below on my photography blog today, LindyLouMac's World in Photographs but I know that not all of you have time to call by there very often, so sharing here as well.

An Autumnal favourite of ours, that we were able to enjoy freshly roasted in an open fire over the weekend.

  5. Roasted chestnuts! Mmmm I can smell them from here, I can never resist buying them from the street venders at home in London. Iam still travelling (now in Singapore) and so won't be seeing or eating them just yet but thanks for getting the mouth watering.

  19. Hi, Lindy! I left a comment on Expatblogs. Com. just now. It was approved, so it will appear soon. I love chestnuts and Mon Blant, which is a cake with chestnuts cream on top and is named after the mountain, is my favorite. “Tenshin amaguri” (sweet roasted chestnuts in Chinese way) are often sold at open fair. With best wishes.

  20. We'll be roasting some of those chestnuts that we picked up in Ardeche, and hopefully have some left so that I can use them in some recipes. I know our dogs will be expecting there share too.

  21. Autumn in Italy
    seems so wonderful and buttery rich
    in color....chestnut brown is a favorite
    of mine:)
    I remember my grandmother's chestnut grove
    (and how painful to traipse through at the
    wrong time of year, always with bare feet)
    Glad you're back blogging again,
    Jenn

  22. Congratulations to your Award ! I left a comment of course. The chestnut picture I have seen already.

  23. oh yes, the chestnuts. I did visit Rocertederici/Tuscany many years ago and I remember seeing these on the ground where I was told the wild pigs come to eat. Watch out for the wild pigs! I got to taste roasted-chestnuts but can't say they tasted as good as they looked. "Memories"

  24. Congrats on the award. I've never even SEEN a roasted chestnut - had to read the comments to even make sure what it was. Looks like it would be fun if a little hard work to do this.
