I was over at an interista friend's house last night. A native of Milano, he makes something called
nocino -- which is based on grappa, and you add chestnuts and cinnamon and sugar water to basically make a sort of Milanese moonshine - distilling it in the backyard sun for a couple of weeks. He just finished a batch and invited my wife and I over.
Let's say I knew better than to try to post anything last night.
