When I was in Italy this past spring teaching my last workshop, we had wonderful dinners every night. They usually started around 7 in the evening, and I (personally) generally fell into bed around midnight. Italians take their dinners seriously, and you know ...when in Italy... At the very end of each dinner, after I'd already had too much wine, the limoncello would be passed around. They call it a digestive (pronounced dee-jes-teev), and if you haven't had it, well, it's interesting. You only need a tiny bit. And then you sleep like a baby. |
