We spent a beautiful day, with beautiful people, eating marvelous food.
Romina and Francesco were amazing hosts, and even managed to have the house decorated for the season.
And what a house it is! Every time you turn around, there is another amazing treasure to see....these are only a few...
 |
| a hand-crank gramophone....and it works! |
 |
| an electric organ |
 |
| records galore |
 |
| and coolest of all, the intercom/radio and cassette deck built into the wall |
At long last, we finally got to meet the charming LeoLuca
and his little brother, Rémy.
Once everyone arrived...
we got down to business, and by business, I mean the best lunch ever!
 |
| antipasto |
 |
| chili peppers in oil |
 |
| zuppa con fagioli |
 |
| Barese sausage |
 |
| grilled chicken with rosemary and lemon |
And just when we thought we couldn't possibly eat any more...
 |
| Romina's Limoncello Portamisu: Lady Fingers, soaked in lemon liqueur and covered in the most incredible creamy custard. I have begged for the recipe, but alas it remains locked in Romina's secret vault. |
Infine, un espresso.
Thank you, Romina and Francesco, for a fantastic day.
Oh, my, goodness! Angela...you have a gift for taking the most beautiful photos! I burst out laughing at the one of me and Rémy with his finger up his nose! hahaha!!! So perfect!
