Flip flops are my go to. Pruning the Rose's- wear flip flops. Watering my potager - wear flip flops. Climbing cliff faces to reach a holy grotto - wear flip flops. Catching snakes that have slithered into the house - wear flip flops. Chasing Mediterranean scorpions- wear flip flops. Walking the sheep - yeah, you've got it. You get my drift... however, going to the beach - GO BAREFOOTI wish! My renovations are being paid for by a home equity line of credit (heloc). No chateau delusions here. My husband was a residential contractor for many years and in his current position has a wonderful working relationship with the trades. Also, he has a close relative that owns a roofing company. We will do some of the work ourselves too. Hopefully everything will come together & stay on budget.
Sorry, I was wearing flip flops.

PALAZZO LOREDAN DELL'AMBASCIATORE
Oh gosh!!! Only €28.000??? Unheard of for Venice standards, perhaps because of the time share. He was lucky indeed. Castello is a lovely district, not so well known by tourists, therefore rich in a more authentic traditional Venetiaon athmosphere.A friend's brother has a one room studio apartment in Venice. It has a small kitchen area, bathroom, small dining table, seating area with 2 sofa beds, and a small corner terrace over looking a canal. The studio is quite big and comfortably sleeps 4. In the Castello area, it is inside an old hotel ex-palace complex with a gym, pool, sauna, garden and cafe. Looks lovely in the photos; all original features, beautifully restored. The complex has its own boats, but you have to book them, or walk. But who could resist walking round exploring Venice?! Originally a time share, which no-one but him ever bothered to use, he was able to buy the other time-sharers out for a pittance. It cost him €28.000. He pays a yearly fee for maintenance. No idea what that is though. He has year round access and goes to Venice perhaps 4 or 5 times a year. The rest of the time, he let's friends use it, or let's it out to visitors like an Air B&B. Just think, €28.000 is 4 Ardmore vases!
Calling someone un imbécile or idiot or crétin are all offensive. To a French speaker, the word crétin has no extra-offensive overtone as you are trying to suggest...Once again.... Cretin is an offensive and outdated term, as is "mongol" and "*******." I appreciate that the OP used it in error instead of "crouton".

Is it considered acceptable for a French speaker to refer to a person with Down's Syndrome as a "mongol"?Calling someone un imbécile or idiot or crétin are all offensive. To a French speaker, the word crétin has no extra-offensive overtone as you are trying to suggest...
YUM!! Thanks.I have made this cake.
Happy Juneteenth, from the fish shack, I'm exhausted. It's 85 F here and I won't be turning on the oven again until October.
Lots of nice cold fruit with Tajín.
A biiiiig black bean and corn salsa salad. With avocado and chipotle honey lime dressing. And blue corn chips. Hopefully will get us through August.
Blackberry Jam Cake Recipe
Inspired by her Aunt Julie's blackberry jam cake, Damaris Phillips created this showstopping version. The caramel cream cheese frosting is slightly savory to balance out the sweetness of this three-layer cake.www.southernliving.com

Woww, are you Italian too? How nice. Anyway, thanks for this. It seems lately some fellow Tattlers thought I needed to be lectured in Italian cookingAn Italian here. No butter or milk, there are 1000 recipes here, none of them containing milk. Ragu is not gourmet food, you've heard about cucina povera? it just takes long to cook and fyi it's also the meat sauce for lasagna. A very basic recipe indeed all Italians learn from home. An honest simple recipe here:
