Postcards From the Edge

Hello Foodies,

Vintage penny postcards are so romantic and I whiled away some time the other day, in a FlickR e-gallery of some gorgeous old scenes from Italy…

I waxed nostalgic wondering if sending postcards will become a thing of the past. But hold on….there’s an app for that. Postcard. So just whip out your iPhone and snap a pic of your handsome Italian guide next to the Colosseum or your Prosecco bubbling away on that sidewalk cafe table. The app transforms it into an actual “snail mail” postcard. You write your own message and input the addresses of all your friends and frenemies. (They will be sooo jealous.) And then, as the Brits say “ Bob’s your uncle.” Your missive is winging its way across the pond.

Cheap enough at a dollar or two and the service is provided by iTunes. Of course, it doesn’t include those lovely foreign stamps – pity – but it is all very cool.

All the Forks love to photograph food when traveling and share our pics so we will be all over this new app. Behold a penne postcard (tee-hee) I couldn’t resist.

We know of some delicious places in Italy to photograph – and eat – pasta. Call us – no iPhone required.
