Barbara
was in Rome for the Asmosia conference for the whole week, staying around the
University and eating as often as she could at da Franco ar Vicoletto (Piccolo
Molise) (Via dei Falisci, 3, in case you're in the neighborhood). Despite getting soaked in several
thunderstorms, she saw some wonderful old friends, made some nice new ones, and
had fiori di zucca, vongole veraci, gelato, and of course cappuccino.
Holt was
at Brock, and though he too enjoyed old friends (and students), he missed all
the food action Barbara was having (not to mention Barbara). So on the whole he got the short end of
the stick.
When we
got off our two different planes and reunited at home for dinner, we dived into the freezer for
the pesto Trapanese we had left over from last time. It goes
well enough on fusilli, but its flavor didn't blow us away even when it was
fresh. Maybe we'll stick with
Genovese from now on.
