For this weeks, fat Tuesday weigh in, I lost 1 kg, so that is 2,2lbs down.
🙂 I am super happy about that.
This weeks theme is going to be Pesto and Figs. The other day I made a pesto with eggplant and tomatoes, and served that over trofie, it was amazing. Also, I have an abundance on Figs. So be ready for some fig recipes this week!

I almost swear that figs grown everywhere here. One of the things that stuck out to me when I first got here, was there are fig trees along the river, fig trees at the train station, growing next to bridges. I mean you name it and bam there was a fig tree! I love it.
I have a Ricotta Cheesecake with Figs in the fridge setting up right now and a Fig Plumcake baking in the oven.
In other news that I probably should not share on here for the whole world to see, but ladies. Yes you who are reading this, and I don’t know who needs to hear this but. Buy yourself a nice bra. For years I wore Victoria Secret bras, and recently they just don’t last like they used to and they become super uncomfortable. Well the other day, after the elastic gave out on one that I wear all the time, I decided to go to the store and buy myself a new bra. After all, the girls must be happy. So here we have specialty shops and not the wal-mart and fast food of clothes stores. So I went to a store called Intimissimi. It is the store for women who want bras, underwear and slips for dresses even pajamas. It’s like a upscale Victoria’s Secret. I explained to the lady I was American and I knew what my size was at VS and she told me that wasn’t my size and she was familiar with the American sizes. She eyeballed me up and handed me a bra and told me to try it on.
I did.
Holy crap batman, it was like butter. I walked out of the dressing room and she said, everything is alright. I said wow how comfortable this bra was.
So I bought two and now I know my Italian size, and the difference between quality and quantity feeling bras. I feel like I should have known the difference, but in my head people always said VS was so great and the price was up there, but I had no idea how much crap they really were.
Anyways, I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off these past two weeks and I’m just tired. This is all for now on this update.
