The eternal question

Every day when we come back from tramping through Rome with Elliott and Jeelu, we look forward to getting up on the roof for a “few nibbles” as Steve says before we go out to dinner. The problem is the weather does not cooperate. It’s beautiful and sunny when we’re out on the street but at the end of the day, the clouds come and the temperature goes down.

Tonight is no exception. I’ve left the three of them up there, wrapped in coats pretending to see a non existent sunset while I lay out a spread of cheese, olives and prosciutto to enjoy inside where it’s warm.

The big question tonight is what and where to eat. We’ve done fried artichokes Jewish style at Piperno, crudo and pasta a Le Mani in Pasta, fabulous thin crusted pizza at Dar Poeteca in our neighborhood. Now we have to figure out the right taste and the right location for their last night in Rome.

Such problems.
