It's a while since I visited the Caffè Consorzio and I was pleased to find the cooking better than ever. We both ordered
fresh taglioni with cherry tomatoes and rocket,
shared a basket of good bread

A pretty fresh fruit salad for dessert, then coffee, ensured that we left contented.
"But where were all the women workers?" we wondered afterwards, as the popular eaterie had been full of men from the nearby banks and offices. "At home cooking for their husbands and children", sighed Gina.

The Italians [ops, Sicilians] just do it that little bit better.
I love going out for lunch.... maybe more than dinner, as i do enjoy being home cooking for Geoff too. Just an old fashioned girl at heart :-)
Looks delicious! And I forgot to congratulate you on publication! Well done!
Molto buono!

Congrats on your publication. As you can eat all that bally lot for lunch and still look as thin as a rake in your photos please share your secret of staying slim.
Congrats on the publication - still going to do that book?
