Shanks



A lamb shank = stinco in Italian. That amuses me for some (probably) childish reason. Anyhow, during my Christmas holidays, I only managed to cook once - and I cooked stinco di agnello. With mash. And plenty of red wine.

I am heading back to London today, and as always am feeling rather sad about leaving Italy. This trip has flown by but I have learnt some incredibly valuable things:
a) how to make cantucci
b) how to make lasagne
c) how to make a healthy carrot cake
d) how to relax

I always seem to have a problem relaxing. Don't get me wrong- I am terribly good at being lazy but I do not
know (correction, did not know) how to relax. There was no middle ground for me. I had to either be 'doing' something, or sleeping.
I think that whilst I was having my pedicure, I relaxed. It was rather, relaxing I must say.
