A Day in my Life - Errands, Cooking and Crosses - Life in Positano

Originally this was going to be a quick recipe, but them I got distracted and ended up filming a whole day and not even doing the recipe I said I was going to do.
So welcome to a normal, fairly boring day in my life!
(Banana bread recipe will appear as a quick video mid week)

Boring?? This video was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. Thank you!! Best, Angela

[@amystanley3681]

Nicki I have spent my whole Sunday watching your videos!!! Marathon is what I am calling it.... Carlos is smart and great with building things. 👏

[@NickiPositano]

Hi, I'm Carlo, thank you

[@khloudalfaisal5091]

i like your personality and your videos. your husband is respectful and kind. i like your farm and the sunset and everything about positano.

[@lindagonzales5848]

If I'm having a not so great day, I know I can check whatever video comes up on Utube, Vola, everything's brighter! You are a blessing and Carlo's smile over your shoulder...icing on the cake.

[@sharoncavaleri5502]

Love this video. But, have a suggestion for the stone workers - wear masks when grinding stones. Your lungs will be grateful and you’ll live longer! Also, liked hearing Nicki huffing when walking up stairs! I thought it was only me, even when not talking! Again, loved this video - all the way through!

[@laurenthecartoongoddess]

Love these. I am notorious for playing refrigerator roulette and changing up ingredients, as I am cooking, depending on what I find. I made it, the kid ate it? That's all that counts. There are no "wrong" ingredients. More sunsets please. It'll get me through the New Jersey winter.

[@christinemercado8706]

I loved the video. You're showing us another part of the world that we don't get to see. To you it's boring but to me it's interesting. Till the next one!

[@mimiashford5544]

You two are SO cute to watch & I love your honest, heartfelt commentary about EVERYTHING! Your videos are a beautiful distraction from so much crap in the world right now. Thank you & keep making your own, wonderful & delicious recipes!!! They look perfect!

[@diannedutton6127]

Not boring!! Love it! Best thing ever when I found your vlog!

[@annienewton3999]

Slowly working through some of the old videos. Love following Nikki, Carlo and the family x

[@susandemar]

Loved the video. I would have used the green olives too!! Trust me, your life is not boring. Cannot wait to see the garden all finished. It is looking amazing so far.

[@livingthegoodlifechannel]

I was so excited to see the cacciocavallo handing up at the meat/cheese counter!! I am half Sicilian, and my family always made this cheese at home. It is absolutely delicious. We do not make it anymore, but there is a factory in my home town, and I load up every time that I go there.

[@janetcorey5102]

I love when you or Carlo cook. I just love sharing time with you guys. I feel like I’m living vicariously in Positano through your adventures and daily life and just loving it❤️🇺🇸

[@elizabethqueen7143]

It's funny how you said you don't make cooking videos Nicki. Fast forward to 2022, here you are publishing your recipes. 😍😍😍😋😋😋

[@spookydude7449]

Just subscribed to you, my father was Italian so the food reminds me so much of him, much love to you, yes I also speak Italian x

[@lorrilewis2178]

Don't apologize! I wouldn't know whether the recipes were "correct" or not! Very amusing to watch, actually.

[@artsiecrafty4164]

The little store looks so familiar. I was in Italy last year for a few weeks and loved it. Nice to see how life is lived there every day. Puttanesca was our favorite sauce.

[@anushreeagarwal-theoneness2105]

Thank you for being real... Real is what exudes life and you are full of it ❤️ On a separate note what is the difference between black olives and green ones... I stay in India and Italian food and ingredients are all under the gourmet category here... Would love to know... Thank you . Have seen other videos too and absolutely loved it

[@roritayik9694]

Ohhhhhhhhh Nicki, thank you for your energy and stamina - I appreciate all your hard work ( and your Carlo's hard work also!) Beautiful to see your home life ❤

[@kimjriley5463]

Not boring. Love all.your videos! Nice sunset and.love you can sit and watch the beauty!

[@tirednsnarky9555]

No stress, Nicki! It’s always good to see what sort of substitutes can be used

[@wendywalters4930]

I’m binging all your videos. Just discovered you when a video popped up in my FB feed. I live in New Jersey and love all your videos. Especially the everyday normal life ones. It is always fascinating to see how others live their life in the rest of the world. Thank you for a bright spot in my pandemic world.

[@traceyhellsten649]

Nikki hon, you do you. I, for one, enjoy your videos immensely. There is no right or wrong way , I don't think. If someone doesn't like it, they should simply swipe on by ! 😉

[@diannedutton6127]

I love watching you cook! That looks delicious!

[@christineevans8998]

So entertaining! Almost like carrying on a conversation about life there! Lovely video!

[@judyhayward431]

Very happy to watch daily Italian life may not seem exciting to you but so interesting for an Aussie girl

[@colleenrainbowblack8762]

That sunset is glorious!!!

[@willothewispl]

Not boring at all. Love every minute of it. Get to see a whole different way of living.

[@tonilea6205]

Just watched this video - WOW! The garden looked so different and it’s only a few years ago. You guys have done an amazing job landscaping that space

[@supriyabarsode8039]

I keep going off the recipe and doing my own thing ,if it turns out great then I dont know how to reproduce it again! There are some disasters and criticisms on , but try not to let it get to you! Lovely realistic videos with missing ingredients. Saw the underground basement for the first time.You really are self sufficient. And the crosses ...we all have to bear them just remembered that line when I saw you carrying it. Loved the way you sniffed at carlo at the end .🙂

[@farkashelga7276]

I'm glad, you make more cooking videos since than. I like the cabbage for example, since you told once how you cook it (in pan with olive oil, garlic, and pepper).

[@watcher223]

Just saw this video. Not sure how I missed it in December. My Italian mom cooked routine Italian recipes, but was never so rigid in the ingredients. You work with what you have! May even make a new entree loved by everyone! Nice video!

[@FaithofMelchizedek]

Funny video, don't be too hard on yourself. Carlo loves you and he ate it. Not your fault you didn't have everything on hand. My cooking always includes creativity. Happy Holidays and hugs to the family.

[@nancysantamaria3924]

I cook exactly the way you do Nicki- just go with the flow. Looked just as yummy as any old recipe. Tanti auguri a tutti 🥰☺️🙏🇨🇦

[@lbunnygordon1133]

Looks great fun in the lovely December sun ... here grey dark raining lol ... spaghetti putanesca to die for will make myself today ... vegetables look delicious and Carlo looked as though he thoroughly enjoyed the pasta .. I know they are fussy about ingredients as food is such a big part of life in Italy... cant wait for the banana bread yum.... Holly looked as though she was enjoying the warmth of the sun ... such a lovely video thank you

[@denisescull4227]

I understand the need to explain that you don't use traditional ingredients sometimes, but thank you for showing us anyway! You have gotten used to your life and surroundings and what you think is mundane, but it is not mundane to us. It is beautiful and interesting and I look forward to your videos so much. Thank you! P.S. you didn't show us the healthy banana bread recipe ;)

[@NickiPositano]

the banana bread is coming!

[@Bartha_Stewit]

Looks delish! I have the same approach to cooking and for me it's more fun this way.

[@Tridhos]

Never been into juicers as it involves throwing the most valuable part of the plant away, the fibre. I always use a blender so that you get the whole benefit of the plant not just the juice.

[@rosecolouredglasses]

Weather seemed lovely

[@realeoinarmstrong]

Just come back from Volterra and am missing Italy already. This vis was just the tonic I needed - thanks! :)

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

What you don’t like baccalà ? So many different ways to cook or make different dishes out of it. My mum use to cook it every Christmas Eve. So nice. 👍❤️👍

[@dlee.s]

I love that you cook like this. This is how real people cook!!

[@hippychicktarot]

Nicki, you are so honest and real while so lovely and funny.... who cares who judges your food it looks simply delicious!!!!!!! And I so appreciate you “doing it anyway” !!!!! You’re Rad!

[@rsoubiea]

The juices, here in CA everyone is enamored with kale. Not my thing. They have kale salads, smoothies, dried kale chips. When i make a recipe and I don’t have a certain ingredient I usually just omit it. I don’t like too many onions so that usually gets cut in half. I don’t like parsley so I add cilantro instead. I feel Receipes are just something to loosely follow, especially if you’ve never made it before. What’s important is it’s become your family recipe now.

[@DGsa1661]

You’re cooking style isn’t wrong it’s creativity at its best😄

[@NickiPositano]

thanks!

[@sandyacombs]

Nicki, I recently discovered your channel, and I just love it. I watch an episode or two everyday, I also love Italy and get a great feel for how it would be to live on the Amalfi coast. Please keep on vlogging, cheers.

[@nunziopappacena9607]

Buon giorno e buona domenica da Nunzio e Olga da Sarno siete una coppia simpaticissima apprezzo molto il vostro stile di vita, e la fortuna di vivere in un bel posto come Positano . il nostro modo di vivere e' identico al vostro . Siamo una perfetta copia .un saluto da entrambi....

[@patriciatagliabue5037]

amazing NICKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII such a hard work

[@getsmart9987]

Watching you, watching the sunset reminds me of virtually hundreds of times I have done similar enjoyable outdoors activities without my sweetheart cause it's just not his thing. Its still enjoyable. Life is sweet that way.

[@rawleysmiley9961]

Good job winging it with the sauce! That’s the way cooking should be done unless you’re on a restaurant!

[@puricaro6738]

I love your videos...simple life..and the men of many talents....

[@stevehill8512]

Hi Nicki I'm a new subscriber I love the honesty of your videos absolutely fantastic thank you for sharing your life with us

[@NickiPositano]

well, thank you!

[@ldswomenpriesthoodpower1240]

This was such A GREAT video- the views of positano, the granite store & butcher + your humorous narrative, it was personable in a way MOST travel videos are not! Sooo good

[@tonyh.6807]

try t pup to p

[@64ttsfd]

Love your posts!! Thank you for sharing your life in Positano!

[@PDogB]

Lol, it's not all glam on the beach? Awwwwww, lo adoro comunque!

[@phyllisannbonviso6641]

I know what you mean about Italians and their food - I am half English and half Italian - and you don't mess with their recipes and they only eat one thing at a time, never mix their foods on a dinner plate - ever! I love they way you whispered that into the camera, as if they could hear you - my Dad is gone now and those were some of the things I remember and love about him...

[@annortolaza6401]

Loved the video. We in America are truly spoiled. We complaine when we have to bring in grocery from the car in our driveway to the house, just an example but true. You and Carlos work hard especially Carlos. He has to think about how to get his project's done alot of hard work Dio bendedika. Tell him to take easy. Like others have posted your videos make one feel like we are there. Positano's views can be so dramaticaly stunning. Gratzie mile.

[@dianeb3919]

HI Nicki...such an interesting day😀 Thank you as always! I wondered about the cemetery so thanks for show it and explaining how people are buried.....just interesting ! Always nice to tag along with you.

[@thechocolatestew-flightlife]

Thank you so much for sharing your daily life in Positano...loved it!!!!

[@lisathegreaser]

I loved this video.

[@margaretfry3043]

All good cooks improvise. That’s how traditional dishes happen.

[@rsoubiea]

My life is boring, anyone else’s I find interesting. Plus it’s gorgeous there! ❤️

[@francest-pierre1370]

I do the same with recipes, though I’m not in Italy surrounded by Italians(!!), what an interesting « regular » day this video was, thank you for that beautiful sunset! 😉

[@cristinaturcin]

I cook different then my mom and mother in law. We are from Romania. I left when i was 6 yrs old. We all live in the states now. Im 39 yrs old. I still can not cook traditional romanian food. I try. But i will never cook exactly the same as them. You are doing great. I like when you cook something. Even if you put your own twist on it. Its common sense people should know because you’re English you wont cook exactly like italians.

[@tsocanuck]

Nothing like an Italian sunset

[@carlotapedro6695]

Hi Nicki...watching this old videos but still great very educational for people like me

[@anastasiarn7781]

I like your cooking! I have tried a few of your pasta ideas. We loved them. Please keep sharing Nicki.

[@annettewalter2273]

Thank you for a wonderful everyday kind of day. You both work hard. Those steps mean you have a wonderful view but I’m Asthmatic. I wouldn’t be able to leave. 😄😄

[@christopherburton5758]

Another great video... Love the pasta lunch

[@karentozer1871]

Not a boring video at all! X

[@annemg4423]

Loved it!

[@amarasunflower6914]

[@arielledavisson8172]

French too, unless you ARE French 😄

[@lisas195]

Love this every day life video 👍🏻🇦🇺❤️🙋

[@oxanawart7814]

[@blue56886]

[@danamcclinton1741]

Your cooking videos are my favorite!!!

[@martinethevenau69]

You certainly don't need to go to gym with those steps and all the hikes. Beautiful sunset too.

[@vickisw176]

I love it Nicki not boring at all. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

[@berthasanchez6559]

Nicki you have great style even when you are working in the garden or cooking love your pants sweater and of course your belt! Give a big hug and kiss to miss holly❤️

[@christinasmyth5674]

Never boring 👌

[@sallyparsons9684]

This is true reality TV. LOVE IT.

[@sunrise1304]

Wow busy bees ! Good idea pellets for heating, very efficient. Nice spaghetti but no wine lol! Beautiful sunset, ciao!

[@maureenruggeri5026]

Perfect!!!

[@lucicukicuk6585]

I felt like i was there, thanks for the videos

[@louisesemrani6860]

I don’t weigh anything when cooking only when baking it’s a must😘😘

[@pattyfromfl]

I love Holly, love the sunset! Love seeing you cook. How do you walk up and down in those shoes? I would have to wear sneakers! LOL!

[@judithp8552]

Beautiful work done in vege garden. Inspiring. Modified recipes are best...love your vlogs!! Love ur baking. Yum! Love ur life. Seems very nice. But hard work! Very interesting. My life as a office worker is boring...not yours!!

[@janelle144]

I would definitely buy a pack mule if I lived there. If they can go up and down in the Grand Canyon carrying people and supplies they could do your hills.

[@trinidivasd2829]

That kiss is so cute. You n carlos are adorable!

[@suginami123]

Fabulous. Cooking looks great.

[@alomafoggo3239]

Hi Nicki, Carlo and Holly - an update now and then as you drive to England 🌞🌞🌞

[@christinasmyth5674]

You’re cooking is fabulous 👍

[@sevraonic8656]

Carlo's facial expression after tasting your food was absolutely priceless 10:29. He might have also tasted the tension when you're feeling cooking putanesca.

[@1964kamran]

Breathless...very brave to walking 456 steps every day..

[@chamishi]

I love baccala and as Puerto Ricans say it bacalao with all kinds of root vegetables 😋

[@sski5155]

Mercedes yeah - the best or nothing lol!!! Being German - yeah!!! Love ❤️ ur vlogs! 🦋

[@Peter-ti5qd]

Hi Nicki, love your work! Just wondering do you have any bugs to contend with in your garden, ie fruit fly, cabbage moth etc? Everything looks so healthy and bug free. I'm from West oz and just had to throw out all the apples on our tree, fruit fly got em! Thanks Pete.
