\nA Sunday drive (we call it a \u2018giro\u2019) in Italy can result in memories that will last \u00a0a lifetime.\u00a0Navigating the mountains from Abruzzo to Rome we decided to travel the \u00a0scenic backroads \u2013not the autostrada. \u00a0As we were driving through one of the small quaint little towns in Abruzzo- we came upon a small group of farm workers \u00a0on the side of the road waving \u00a0their arms frantically to those passing by. \u00a0Not quite understanding what the excitement was- \u00a0we went in another direction. \u00a0Upon making the turn- we were \u00a0met by two marvelous white oxen who followed us from the back of the car, and they forced our ascent all\u00a0the way up the mountain-5 miles of steep ascent- until they left us.
\nRecipes can also make memories that last a lifetime!

\nRemove from oven, let cool and scoop in tuna mixture. Divide evenly between both peppers. Serve cool or while peppers are still warm.<\/span>\u00a0This makes a perfect picnic dish also.<\/span><\/span>
