\nSundays in Rome always turn into special days..and\u00a0this weekend\u00a0was no exception.\u00a0A\u00a0 trip there \u00a0for an event on Saturday \u00a0for my latest book The Basic Art of Italian Cooking-Holidays & Special Occasions turned into more than just that ..Sunday was \u00a0filled with finding \u00a0favorite foods in Rome and seeing old friends-Moses & \u00a0Michelangelo..
\n\u00a0It \u00a0became a\u00a0 trip to revisit those old friends..a stop to see Michelangelo’s Moses, the Trevi Fountain and canlt forget Santa Maria sopra Minerva… I have seen them many times and can sit in front of them for hours upon end and take in their beauty..almost embarassingly so..my eyes become wide open in amazement.. thinking of Michelangelo toiling in front of his Moses…
\n\u00a0
\n\"cappuccino\"\"gelato\"
\nBut enough about the art..let’s get into the food.. From\u00a0cornetto & cappuccino near\u00a0Santa Maria Maggiore to Pizza\u00a0in Trastevere..coffee\u00a0at St.Eustachio and EUR and gelato near Montecitorio…what a\u00a0weekend program..\u00a0 attempting to fit in all the\u00a0local food stops one could fit in..It seemed like so many foods\u00a0but \u00a0so little time to get them all in..
\nPizza in Rome is at its best when it is thin ,made with fresh mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil and most places display a sign to tell you the ingredients uses as do the places that make their own gelato. The sign is usually somewhere on the glass case that displays the pizza and\/or gelato..
\nIn 100 degree weather the \u00a0gelato creations, looking as something that may have been created by one of the masters, melt\u00a0so quickly\u00a0one has but a split second to \u00a0admire the aesthetic beauty. Enjoying a dish of gelato outside in Rome under the summer sun is an experience in contrast..the heatof the August sun beating down,the cool,creamy liquid refreshing your senses..the intense flavors hypnotizing…almost diverting your attention away from the uncomfortable temperatures at least for a few minutes.

\nA linguine with cold pasta sauce coming later today\u00a0 for lunch..
