Dinner at a castle



Twenty minutes of hilly, curvy roads and we pulled into Castello di Proceno in Tuscany.  The gracious hosts (sitting on either side of Andrew) are friends of Chiara and Marco.  Beef tongue carpaccio was surprisingly delicious, though I didn't know what it was until after tasting it.  Thanks Andrew and Marco.

It's easy to see why the beautifully restored castle, farmhouse, and restaurant - with it's fresh, regional food - earned a star from Michelin last year.  Below, guests enjoy a quiet meal on the garden terrace.

  2. Larissa,
    I won't tell Patrice about your menu. We went out for dim sum today in Vancouver and poor Patrice saw an aquarium full of fish to be eaten and that was that...no fish or meat for her today!
