Food, glorious food…

I thought the best food I had ever had was in France.  I’m changing my mind…

Okay…  I know that so much of the dining experience is time and place.  But… so much of it is the quality ingredients, too.  Just wonderful.

Last night Phoebe and Nancy made Nancy’s take on a classic putanesca.  Olives, tomatoes, garlic, crushed red pepper… On fresh pasta.  With fresh – fresh – crusty bread.

Okay…  so we’re eating this in an apartment across the street from the Colosseum.  But… It still doesn’t get any better.

The food seriously has been great.  From small sandwiches to multi-course dinners, the pride in the food is evident.  This is not American Fast Food.  Even the fast food isn’t American fast food.  The people here demand quality – and they get it.

I’ve taken lots of pictures of lots of food, but right now I want to get out and eat some more of it…  So…

I’ll be back.  In the meantime, here’s Phoebe and Nancy dancing in the Piazza Navona…
