  3. Fagottini with Cave Aged Taleggio. I think these would be good for breakfast lunch and dinner. Not to mention midnight snack.

  9. I first had these sausage spiedini in the town of Palestrina which is just outside Rome in the mountains. The house we visited was built partially on an ancient Roman acquaduct. We ate these in the field surrounded by olive trees and fig trees. I recall being harassed  by a bee, but I think it only enhanced the experience in the long run. Go figure!

    This was a really authentic dish I wanted to pass along. The only thing missing was a nice refreshing Vermentino!

  15. "The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent, not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious."
