\nMy better half arrived from Italy a few days ago, had to catch a bus from our \u2018pied a terre\u2019 in Rome to catch an early plane at the airport.
\nWhen he hopped on the bus in front of the Coliseum at 4:30 AM-he was the only person there..he said\u00a0 “for the first time ever it\u00a0 felt like it was just\u00a0 me\u00a0 and the Coliseum\u00a0 that were the only two things in the center of Rome”\u2026..\u201dIo & the Coliseo\u201d were his exact words..I think that would make a great title for a movie\u2026not sure yet what it would be about. \u2026Any film makers out there\/?Any ideas??
\nWell, on the other side of the world, here,\u00a0 cauliflower is everywhere!\u00a0 Take advantage of the fresh, local cauliflower available now and use it in a pasta dish. Orecchiette (little ears) pasta pairs great with this dish.And lunch was an absolutely delcious one with this dish\u2026
