Ciao Amalfi

Sunday Shout-out: Ciao Chow Linda

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog New Jersey 

 

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!!

    Ciao Chuck! Great to hear from you! One of the great pleasures of blogging has been getting to know all the wonderful Italian food blogs out there like yours and Linda's. I always know where to go for inspiration! 🙂

    Ciao Anne! I forgot to mention in my post that the Princeton postcard Linda sent me is marked "Printed in Italy" on the back. Can you believe that?! I am really enjoying the connection, and hoping more people join in the blogger postcard exchange. We're doing the best to spread the word! 🙂

Even within the private terraced gardens, it’s remarkably secluded. Walking through the gardens, I couldn’t imagine the great good fortune of being able to write and create here as Gore Vidal did for over 30 years. This is a place that certainly inspires!

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤
