I dropped by my neighborhood farmers market at Union Square in Manhattan this morning – to drop off my final load of compost before heading to Rome later today.

It struck me, as I passed the familiar booths with melon, corn on the cob, water buffalo yogurt – that in just one day – I will be walking through the Campo dei Fiori in Roma to see if my favorite date lady is still around.

I shall do my best to keep this blog up while I am away.
