Roman aperitivo
Last summer, our traveling group wandered through Roman side streets all afternoon. Working up a good appetite, a few of us sampled the food and drink alfresco-style. Add fun conversations about Rome and its culture–it’s easy to trigger the pleasurable memory whenever I see this picture. It took two hours to nibble away this platter.
Salute!
Oh Cindy , that looks deeeelish. I hope u post more of this trip:) I’ll be there in Sept 🙂 well actually we r taking a Med. Cruise, but we’ll be staying in Rome for 2 days b4 we board the ship:)
Good for you! September would be a great time to visit Rome. Fewer tourists and cooler weather. The food is divine. Have a wonderful cruise. I love the Med.
Your photo got me all excited .. again lol
OH MY GOSH!!!!! Absolutely scrumptious!
It was as tasty as it looked. I remember your love for Paris. You’d feel that way about Rome. That cobblestoned streets and warm vibe with bridges and history and romance and vino and food. Just sitting and watching the environment is so much fun.
Oh I have no doubt! One day.
I don’t normally do this, but your opinion on my post today would be interesting to k now….
Ooooo, I’m intrigued! I’ll definitely check it out.
Looks very yummy!!
Hi Moody, thanks much!
And here I sit eating oatmeal. Arghhhhhh,
Eww. I hope you are eating it for breakfast not around cocktail time. 😉
It’s warm and sunny here today, so I could just sit outside and eat that now. Yum Yum!
Best wishes, Pete. x
Nibble food while talking and drinking. That’s my idea of celebrating life.
How very appetising
The whole experience was satisfying. I daydream about these moments when it’s the boring month of February and the next adventure is months away. 😉
That looks delicious
Twas. The older I get, the more I learn to appreciate the culture and food and drink. I was in Rome in 2005 for the first time and didn’t appreciate it nearly as much as last summer. The upside of growing old, I think.
It could also have been that you had the previous knowledge to give you a chance to dive in deeper!
Yes, I’m sure you are right. 🙂
Yum – now I’m hungry 😋
There are good specialty shops in PHX. You could replicate this platter. I see veggies on your RV grill. 😉
MMMM … quite a spread Cindy!
The three of us ate slowly. The time flew and then it was time for supper!
That does look nutricious and delicious!
Protein and veggie fix. The honey suprised me. I never thought to include it with the bread and salami and cheese. The Italians have delicious honey.
Great post 🙂 Wonderful pictures of some really delicious food 🙂 I love salami as well, but then again I love all deli 🙂 Anyway, keep up the great work as always 🙂
Thank you, John. The Mediterranean countries have the best food, IMO.
Sembra molto delizioso.
Mi sono divertito!
This is wonderful. I want to go back to Roma now!!
Hi Mr. Steven Johnson! Welcome. Thanks. What did you like best about Rome?
You might enjoy this as a film fan (and I’m guessing a fan of Italy?) – I just started an Italian film podcast, CINEMA ITALIANO. We’ve got two episodes up and plan to do at least one episode per month, hopefully more!

Your site looks great! I don’t normally listen to pod casts, though. Can you post the recording as a script? I would like to read it. 🙂
Looks too appealing. I’m trying to keep my weight down and looking at this good food doesn’t help Cindy. LOL
HA!
