Susan and I have figured out the perfect way to eat. We share one dish of every course. Today we found ourselves an hour or so out of Rome in a narrow side street inside a medieval Umbrian village, Ovieto. Rick Steves has been guiding our culinary adventures perfectly and today was no exception. We started with nigi, "folds of fresh pasta enveloping warm gooey pecorino cheese sweetened with honey. ", as he describes it in his guidebook, along with a lovely light and fresh salad. Then chicken cacciatore flavored with olive oil and rosemary. Creme Brule for dessert. A local Chianti and a big bottle of local mineral water. Sigh...

ReplyDeleteAlrighty, I guess I've figured how to post a comment on your blog...
ReplyDeleteYeeeHa! So happy that all is unfolding exactly how it should for you both. Living in the moment ROCKS! I guess it is what our 'forefathers' and 'mothers' once did eh - seek shelter, sustenance and socialization!!! May every decision lead you to another adventure that makes your hearts sing. I'm with you in spirit.xo
