From Positano to … Princeton! This week I opened the mailbox and found this lovely postcard from Linda at Ciao Chow Linda. When I posted about the first blogger postcard swap I did with Anne in Oxfordshire, Linda commented and offered to send me a postcard from her hometown. How fun! This view of Princeton’s Nassau Hall brought back memories of my college days at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. Autumn was always the most beautiful time of the year, when the bright oranges and reds blended with the red brick buildings and cast the white architectural details sharply in contrast. While I haven’t been to Princeton before, I could feel the crisp Autumn air, and was reminded of the excitement of starting a new year of school. I knew Linda loves the Amalfi Coast, so I picked out a postcard with a beautiful view of Amalfi with bougainvillea. She liked it a lot! (Click here to read about it.) Little did I know that Linda has a postcard fetish and has been collecting them from all over the world. What a great idea!

For those of you who aren’t already regular readers, one stop at Ciao Chow Linda – Adventures in Cooking and Eating – and I guarantee you will be drawn back again and again by her tempting recipes. With family heritage in Emilia-Romagna and Calabria, Linda’s posts and recipes reflect her passion for Italian culture and cooking. Whether it is simple summer salads with an Italian touch or the coolest birthday cake ever, Linda knows how to make her readers grab la lista della spesa (the shopping list) and head to the store! I know Linda will be back to the Amalfi Coast someday, and I look forward to sharing stories and a glass of limoncello. Thank you, Linda, for the lovely postcard & all the great recipes you share with us!
Buona domenica & Buon appetito!!
