What a way to start my day! Cheers to alcohol in the morning!

Volterra makes its own jam.

Strong breakfast offering albeit not Italian. Tasty.

Bellies full, we were ready to conquer Ballard.

  7. I love homemade strawberry jam. I'm always surprised by how bright red it is.

    That pasta looks so good.

    Whenever I hear/see "Volterra," my first though is the Twilight series. So mature, I know. lol
