Today I slept in (again) then we made egg sandwiches - eggs from the supermarket, bread from the pasticceria. We walked up to P's class and I went down into Trastevere's historic section to take some photos and wander around.
Found the Santa Maria in Trastevere church - gorgeous mosaics inside.
Stopped into a little shop to pick up some balsamic vinegar de Modena. Then took the bus up the hill and stopped at the butcher's on the walk home. He cut me a couple of steaks & humored my bad Italian.
Pat came home to dinner of arugula salad topped with shaved parmesan, grilled steak, balsamic & olive oil. Plus some pesto gnocchi on the side. I'm loving the way they shop here - it makes it so easy to cook delicious fresh dinners every night cheaply & easily.
Tomorrow night we're having 10-15 people from P's class over for a Greek party. I'm planning on making a big greek salad and serving mezze (probably hummus, pita, olives, cheese) and jugs of wine.
Salads are in order - we're going to the beach this weekend in Ostia. I think the running gelato tally (I added 2 more Monday, lemon & red grapefruit sorbetto) will have to stay on hold for a little while.
