(Day 256) We moved to Italy (from Canada) in April of 2024. I’m recording daily videos showing my appreciation for the new country and what I call a “moment of Zen” – a moment of reflection and gratitude that brings me peace and joy.
Today’s moment of Zen is PANETTONE

Lol, my wife was chuckling when she watched your daily “moment of zen” today. She has binge watched every single one of your videos. We are both European born Canadians, her background is Italian and when we met, she informed me that it is not Christmas without Pannetone. Thanks for this…😂
FWIW, I just "discovered" panettone because it was discussed in one of the Italian language lessons that I'm taking. I found it at a local grocery store and tried it, and it was good, but I suspect that it may not be very "authentic". I'll have to explore some of the store suggestions made by a google search that are "near me. "
Is there a traditional drink that Italians would drink while enjoying panettone?
I'd be interested in learning more about how a number of holidays are celebrated in Italy such as Christmas, New Years, Easter, and one that was celebrated a lot back in my home town of Cleveland, Ohio, I believe it was "Assumption Day".
Please keep posting Tom, I enjoy them and hope to visit Italy again, possilby in 2026! Take care!
