After Italy
On our way to Rome, Hardy and I got to know the nicest couple (Becky and Jeff) from California. As it happened, they were staying at our hotel, but they were on a different tour than the one we were on.
On October 21st, they were visiting relatives in Houston, and we had the fun of creating an "Italian Feast" for them. A big "thank you" to Rose Carrabba, owner of "Carrabba's Italian Restaurant", for letting me in her kitchen to enlist the help of her chef in learning how to correctly prepare these Italian dishes.
