The cooler weather means changes in the market and squash has appeared in Campo dei Fiori, plus I finally feel like cooking again. I don’t know the specific name for the type of squash in the left in the picture below, but it made a lovely pumpkin risotto!

I LOVE the cat in the background! It seems he was jealous of your attention for the squash? ( beautiful colors)
I’d love to TRY to make pumpkin risotto! It looks delicious!
We’re definitely having an Indian summer….it’s 93 today! Yesterday we went to silver falls…it was beautiful but grass and fields along the way are all yellow.
We miss you lots and are so happy you’re enjoying Italy!
Love, John and Janet

Hi! The finished result sure looks good. Still very warm in Portland. Yesterday enjoyed another tour of the Pittock Mansion with friends visiting from Idaho. Then we ate at Dan & Louie’s – just terrible. I hadn’t been there in years. I’m wondering if it has changed hands. A quick walk through of Saturday Market – think I use to enjoy it more when it ws under the bridge. Enough whining from me. Maybe I’m just getting old!!!! Love ya, Carolyn

Ciao Laurel — this is one of my favorite seasons when the air turns cool and crisp and the hearty fall food starts to show up in the local osterias. Your risotto has me craving a trip back to Italy.
Speaking of, I may be through Rome briefly in mid-October, and planning to be there in mid-November before Thanksgiving. I’m looking into bringing over Olio Nuovo this year, though I’m still researching at the moment. Once I know my dates, I’ll ping you two — would be good to get together for a lunch or dinner!
Ciao.
Michael
