Fusilli and Pesto Trapanese


Sunday May 27
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.
