On Tuesday, we joined some of the women from the officers' spouses' club on base for lunch at a working farm. The sheer amount of food we were served was incredible. We started with a very large antipasto course, served family style. Next came two pasta courses - spaghetti a la norma and spinach lasagna, and then the meat course - beef involtini and something (can't remember what) wrapped in pancetta. Lastly, there was a fresh ricotta cheesecake topped with strawberries. And of course, plenty of vino rosso. :)
Mom is becoming quite the food photographer herself. :) Enjoy the photos. Wish we could share the real thing with you!
everything looks so delicious! and the wine glasses are HUGE!
ReplyDeletewhy no picture of the cheesecake?!
ReplyDeleteThe food was our best memory of Italy as well. In fact, I bought 5 cookbooks to copy the European cuisine. Italy was the best and Americans have no idea what real Italian food tastes like. We have pictures of Italian food as well.
