Let’s talk about an experience that many people (many, many) have unfortunately had to live. It starts as a normal day, maybe you have some strange feelings that something fishy is going on and then you find something that was not meant for you to find — and in a second your entire life unravels.

… neither is Toby! After spending a mere 24 hours here in San Francisco, I’ve determined, after believing otherwise for the last few years, that I am not cut out for the “city life”. Don’t get me wrong, we are staying in a wonderful apartment, in a great part of the city and the weather
This is the Crostata I learned how to make in Italy from my grand-uncle Federico. It’s important to get all of the ingredients together, in proper portions, to make the assembly very easy. You can use any kind of fruit, but for this recipe, we used apricots.
