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! 🙂

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
