A Wine Down in Roma
For my last 48 hours I had to return to Roma, la cittá eterna of course. My dear friend Livia is there right now as she gets ready to head up to Briancon again for the winter, and Rome might be the place in Europe that feels most like home. After a delayed flight Livia picked me up at abut 1:30 and we headed back to her mom’s place in Balduina to drop off my stuff. Then we headed out on a lovely passagiata. Livia is a master parker There is a walking and bike path that is close to Balduina that gives an amazing view of St. Peter’s and Vatican City. We began by stopping at Alice for some pizza al taglio (yum) and suppli. I can never remember the difference between suppli and aranciata but this one had risotto but carbonara flavored, which was amazing. Livia talked me into squash blossom and anchovies pizza, then we had mushroom, potato, and straciatella. It was all great, a little sampler in a pizza box for us. Still don’t know...
