What this episode covers

When you're close to a family, you're close to their food. Bella Mackie’s family and ours have spent summers footsteps away from each other's homes in the Val d’Orcia for nearly 30 years, swimming, walking and attempting to read novels between long lunches, late dinners, and negronis in the Piazza Piena Montepulciano. When Bella and her husband Greg come to The River Cafe, they know the food they want to eat, the wine they wish to drink, and they always request a quiet table where they can just be together. Ask any young person working in the restaurant about Bella's books, and they'll tell you that Jog On shaped their life in a crisis or How to Kill Your Parents was one of those books they just could not put down. Today in The River Cafe, Bella and I will talk about running families, Tuscan holidays and facing everything else.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) IT IS WHAT IT IS with SHALLZ - SHALLY ZOMORODI Shally Zomorodi What?
