That is probably what you are wondering...right?
Well, if you have not yet hit up Google Translate, it's a Chestnut Roast! And it's super fun!!
The other day, it was very cloudy and damp (as usual), so me and my friend went to Stresa!
Now, normally, it is B-E-A-U-TIFUL in Stresa! However...the cloudy weather left something to be desired...
But, it was still pretty and the architecture of all the old buildings still made me whip out my camera!
So, here we are...two blonde female tourists...cold...hungry...and about to head home when, all of a sudden, we see it! A Chestnut Roast!
If you have never had a roasted chestnut, they are not the most pleasant things to eat. They leave your fingers black and a bit dry...after all...you are peeling a burnt shell off a nut. But, in the end, you get a soft and warm potato-like taste in your mouth :)
And, here is what a chestnut looks like pre-roast:
Once we conquered the the chestnuts, we moved on to cheese sandwiches, polenta, and wine!
So, we enjoyed a beautiful and relaxing afternoon in Stresa! Then, took a boat to Isola Bella for a photo shoot ;)
After all of this....were we tired? No way! We headed to our new favorite wine bar in Stresa and sampled wine, herbs, and olive oil :)
What an absolutely beautifully dreary Italian day!
Buon Appetito!
