Outside San Gimignano, May 31, 2010 ]—
AGAIN WE EAT without the benefit of Slow Food. There is a restaurant in town that's recommended by Osterie d'Italia, but it was just so damn nice here in this agriturismo out in the country that we didn't feel like driving another six miles back into San G., not to mention the six miles we'd then have to drive back to our bedroom. 
A glass of wine before dinner
Besides, Francesco, the nice young man who'd settled us into place when we arrived here, mentioned the possibility of a light supper being served right here, even though there wouldn't be a real dinner. So we decided to stay put, and had a huge plate of antipasto, including the first lardo of the trip — being in Tuscany has its advantages. Then a big platter of spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil. Then a fine green salad. What more could you want? Well, a piece of nice home-made jam crostata…
