Under The Tuscan Gun

Every week new, fresh, healthy, traditional Tuscan recipes...delivered!

After a few weeks spent re-formatting every and each one of our episodes, we are very happy ( and a bit proud ) to announce that our Podcast at the iTunes Store is back up and running!

You can now view our show in a higher resolution within your iTunes Player, download the video files to your PC/Mac or your Apple TV, and eventually store them into your iPod...so you can show them to your Grandma next time you go visit!
Here is the only catch: the video files will need to be converted before you can actualy synch them to an iPod or iPhone (ctrl+click or mouse right button).
Also, as you might have noticed (or we hope that eventually you will), we are finally featuring original music thoughout the show, thanks to the great help and inspiration of Terry Radigan and Joshua Camp in New York and Pat Buchanan in Nashville. Many of our viewers have been requesting information about the music we feature in our videos, and also asked about what we listen at home while cooking or entertaining...stay tuned, as a few surprise posts will be coming soon.
For the moment,
enjoy Under The Tuscan Gun on a bigger screen...now you can!

Testing the Aero Garden

For Valentine's day, Deborah got Gabriele a present...
it turned out to be an interesting project and a very long testing experiment (about 11 weeks)...for the whole family.

The Aerogarden has been see on TV and in various specialized stores around the country, and I am sure that many of you had for a moment the thought: "Mmmmhhh, interesting. Shall I give it a try?".
"No, you should not!", this is our opinion.
Technology in the house and in our everyday life, we all have to admit, brings these days peace of mind and some convenience. There are many utensils, tools and gadgets that we would not live without, especially when it comes to the Kitchen. This one, well, yes...we can live without this one.


Do not get fooled by what you're shown on the tube at night...what you see in the advertised pictures is absolutely impossible to achieve.
Look at the pictures below, can you try guessing which one is mine and which one is the advertised one?

We also would like to reassure you...
yes, more food episodes are coming. Evelina (our oldest daughter) has been enjoying her Spring Break, and we've had our hands full around here, for the past two weeks.
Next episode then, for sure, will be a recipe!
For the moment, we hope you enjoy this little clip.

Will It Blend?

Hi Everybody,
as promised during our fourth episode, here is the link to the most fun and efficient blender available...at least, as far as my likings!!!



The Total Blender from Blendtec is here featured disintegrating anything available.
Obviously the goal is to demonstrate its efficiency, I guess the point is:
If this blender does not have problems polverizing a pound of golf balls, a broom stick, or even an iPhone, well, it should not give you any sort of trouble when you will attempt to make your Pesto Sauce.
