Thoroughly enjoyed lunch with a friend at this charming restaurant in Varese, Italy, which I am happy to recommend.
Beautiful location, with a glorious outdoor covered porch within an old courtyard. Creative Italian cuisine and an excellent wine list.
Thank you @giusycastoldi for featuring them so I could discover this new-to-me restaurant. 🩷

Life Lessons while Gathering Chestnuts
We all know to wear sturdy shoes, carry a basket, a stick and even a nice set of long tongs to make things easier.
But in two weeks of gathering chestnuts every day, I have also learned to walk the path twice.
The first time I collect all the chestnuts I see.
When I am satisfied that there are no more left on the ground, I turn around and walk back along the same path.
Each time, so many more chestnuts are revealed that had not been visible before: the light hits them differently, or they were hidden by a leaf.
So many more chestnuts with just a slight shift in my point of view.
Even chestnuts can teach me something.

🧡 Second Recipe with Pumpkin: Gyoza (Potstickers) with Shrimp, Kabocha & Thyme
I developed this recipe while still living in Honolulu, and I find it blends Italian flavors with Japanese ones really well. After all, ravioli and gyoza are definitely siblings with different fillings.

Wishing you a wonderful new week!

Shinrin-Yoku: the Medicine of Being in the Forest
Also known as Forest Bathing, this wonderful practice has scientifically proven benefits to our wellbeing.
I am sharing about SY a lot because of how much I have benefited from it myself over the years, especially since I trained as a guide.
It is time in nature, that is true, but it is more than that, especially when practiced with a guide. It invites us to real presence and a deeper consciousness. It takes you through the threshold of a deeper connection with Mother Earth and the healing power of Nature.
Swipe to discover more, save and share this post for reference and inspiration, and you can also explore more by clicking on the SY link in my profile @lifeoutofbounds
May the Forest be with you 💚

🧡 Roasted Kabocha with Garlic & Sage + a simple Pasta recipe with leftovers 🧡
Whether in the pan or in the oven, roasted Kabocha is a satisfying vegetable and, should you have leftovers, it can be used for a number of equally easy and delicious dishes.

This morning, when I announced “Oh, it’s October 1st!” my mum responded: “First day of school!”
as that is what it used to be till my brothers and I were mid-teens.
A much more reasonable day to begin getting cooped up in class, if you ask me.
Happy October everyone!
