This first week was spent in what just might be the most picturesque farmhouse in Umbria. Nestled among vineyards and olive orchards, on a property dotted with fig trees, like something right out of “Under the Tuscan [Umbrian?] Sun.” Yes, you have permission to be jealous now.

Life is short, and strawberry season is even shorter. Don’t waste one precious second. We ditched work one afternoon last week (shh, don’t tell) and went strawberry picking, hoping to fill our flats with ripe red berries before the rain arrived. We had no particular plans for the berries other than consuming as many as our tummies would allow. It was also assumed that more than a few of these beautiful berries were bound for the canner....

When I heard his idea, though, I was sold, and decided that his contribution to Milkshake Week should be part of the official roster....
