Photos from Umbria–dining in DC
I have promised more photos from my book. Here are ten shots from the slide show I use at book signings. More to come.
I recently had an interview with Charlie Dyer on KNEWs conversations, FM94.3, in Palm Springs, California. We discussed my life in the town of Umbertide and my book, The Dog Who Ate the Truffle: A Memoir of Stories and Recipes from Umbria. To hear the interview, click here.
On Tuesday, November 9, 2010, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, I will be one of the 90 authors invited to sign books at the National Press Club Book Fair. If you’re in the area, please stop by.
On Wednesday, November 10, 2010, at 7 PM, I will do a talk with slides from Umbria at the Arlington, VA library.
The weather here in Washington, DC is wonderful, sunny but cool. Last night my son Jacob, his fiancé Emma, and I had dinner at Masa 14, a lively restaurant in the heart of downtown DC. The menus offer an eclectic array of fusion (Asian/Latin) dishes. Think small plates–order two dishes per person and share. The plates are small, if you’re really hungry, add a couple extra dishes. Everything was meticulously prepared and beautifully presented. I especially loved the fried calamari and fried okra (which I usually don’t like). The salmon with spinach and bacon was delicious, but so were all of the other dishes we ate–crab and cream cheese won ton, flatbread with mushrooms, five-spice riblets, and wok-fried cauliflower. It was Sunday night, and the place was mobbed. Loud, but you could still talk (in a loud voice).
Off to a museum. A presto, Suzanne
