\nThe official start to the unofficial beginning of summer is finally here…”as tasty as summer’s first peach” m yfavorite saying comes to mind!. I know most are thinking of barbecues this weekend but for me\u00a0 it is all about the lush fresh fruits and vegetables….Mother nature is now at her very best!
\nHave your own Roman Holiday Staycation at home and avoid the crowds..pair the movie with tramezzini and you have an easy way to enjoy a vacation at home.
\nPrincess Ann, played by Oscar-winner Audrey Hepburn in her first starring role, screams and becomes hysterical one night in Rome, the last stop on her European \u201cGoodwill Tour\u201d in Roman Holiday<\/em> (1953). Weary from her princess duties and public appearances and stressed from her meticulously scheduled days, the princess can no longer handle the constant pressure. The doctor is called in, and his brilliant solution is to inject a new medication that will help her fall asleep. Feeling no side effects from the medication, Princess Ann sneaks out into the night in a delivery truck. When the excitement from escaping begins to wear off, the drowsiness from the medication sets in, and Princess Ann carelessly dozes on a bench.
\nAfter a night of poker, Joe Bradley, an American reporter played by Oscar-winner Gregory Peck, finds a girl snoozing on a bench on his way home. Not knowing what to do, he unsuccessfully attempts to wake her up, while she constantly mutters \u201cso happy.\u201d Unwilling to leave her asleep and alone at night, Bradley takes her to his apartment to keep her safe. Unaware of her identity, Bradley refuses to let Princess Ann sleep in his bed and proceeds to dump her onto the couch with a lift of the mattress.
\nThe next day, Bradley sees the girl\u2019s picture in a newspaper and realizes who is sleeping on his couch. He sees the potential for a story and contacts his editor. Princess Ann mutters in her sleep, unaware of where she is, \u201cI dreamt and I dreamt. I was asleep in the street and a young man came. He was tall and strong, and he was so mean to me! It was wonderful…\u201d After opening her eyes to find Bradley staring back at her, she realizes her dream was actually reality. A few explanations and a surprising run-in with the maid in the bathroom later, Princess Ann sets out to return home. However, she gets a little sidetracked and chops all her hair off instead and begins to explore the city. Bradley follows her and convinces her to take the day off, pretending that he is unaware of her identity. He asks her what she would do and she replies, \u201cI’d do just whatever I liked all day long. I’d sit at a sidewalk cafe and look in shop windows. Walk in the rain, have fun and maybe some excitement.\u201d Bradley does his best to make her wishes come true and calls his photographer friend, Irving Radovich, to help him get the story on the princess.
\nUnlike Princess Ann\u2019s usual schedule, this day is full of surprises. After being taken to the police station for erratic driving, some late-night dancing, and an all-out brawl with the secret service (in which Princess Ann bashes someone with a guitar), Princess Ann knows it is time for her to return to the palace. It was \u201cthe end of the fairy tale.\u201d Though she had to go back to her duties, Princess Ann would never be the same again.
\n“Life isn’t always what one likes, is it?” But, you can pretend, if only for a little while. Try the elegant tramezzini sandwiches, and you\u2019ll feel like royalty. With the gooey, fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and tasty basil, you may as well be sitting at an outdoor caf\u00e9 in Rome with Princess Ann. Take a break from your life and try this tasty little food with the movie.
