My Sunday “Staycation” in Tuscany

Always love a sunday at the second hand bookstore. Full of treasures waiting to be discovered. This weekend’s find was a cool cookbook called “Tuscany”. Just finished reading it; and yes I read cookbooks cover to cover and tab pages I like for later. I found several cool regional dishes that will get tried the next few weeks.
