Steve went on a week long field trip to Venice, Vicenza, Ferrara, and Florence. That means a week of eating out at restaurants. So, I thought I'd make a nice home-cooked meal for him. This was a very big event for me. In making this dinner, I discovered, I actually can cook!
First course: gnudi con la zucca (butternut squash gnudi)
Second course: roasted brussels sprouts with grape tomatoes.
Third course: balsamic dijon steak with sauteed mushrooms and onion.
And for dessert, my made-from-scratch apple pie....accompanied by some Johnnie Walker :)
We hiked the Janiculum hill to take a stroll around the Villa Doria Pamphili gardens. It's now the largest landscaped public park in Rome.

| The Pamphili family sure had quite the wealth..... |
 |
| It's still so refreshing to see trees and grass. |

| A very beautiful private chapel on the park property. |
 |
| Home sweet home. |
