9...8...7...6...WELL just 9 today! But, single digits to say the least!
Whytney is in Rome today and I am unsure if she will be able to get off of the ship???
If she does, maybe she will be able to savor a Roman meal. The Roman's enjoy their food and a typical meal would include: A soup, an entree, a dessert
Stracciatella - An egg-drop soup, stracciatella is the perfect light prelude to a traditional Italian meal. Beaten eggs are combined with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and semolina (a coarse part of wheat that has not yet been ground), and then added to a boiling broth to thicken and then serve.
Veal Saltimbocca - After being pounded thin, veal cutlets (called Scallopini), are flavored with sage and then covered with a slice of Prosciutto, which is dried cured ham. Topped with a white wine and butter sauce, it's delicious!
Tiramisu - One of the most recognized Italian desserts, this cake is made of lady fingers in the United States but the authentic Roman version uses biscuits instead. After being soaked in coffee, the biscuits are layered with mascarpone cheese, zabaglione (a custard made from egg yolks), Marsala and sugar. Sprinkled with cocoa or chocolate shavings, the dessert has a rich sweet taste, without being overpoweringly sugary. It's the perfect ending to your fabulous Roman meal!
