10pm, Trastevere neighbourhood: Our trip is coming to an end. We have had an absolute blast exploring Rome and have eaten quite well for most of the journey. Today we stayed in the apartment and I cooked up an antipasti platter of fresh, tender asparagus, blanched, then drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Add some sausage, cheese and olives and we practically had a complete meal!
But I couldn’t stop and used the rest of the ingredients we had purchased in the market this morning: Fennel, cherry tomatoes, radicchio, fava beans, basil, shrimp and clams. Everything was sauteed together and served over fresh spaghetti noodles. Didn’t even have room for the salad course.
Now it’s off to bed to catch an early flight to Frankfurt, then home to Vancouver…with jet lag and culture shock in store as I have to fly to Calgary on Wednesday for the Canadian Media Guild convention.
Look forward to posting some photos soon…Ramona got to have lasagna today, finally! And I enjoyed a lovely oxtail stew.
Ciao for now…
Roma es una ciudad increible, y este un blog muy conseguido, un español por aqui saludando! Enhorabuena!
