Miles, you are probably right…my Italian is worse than my English…heehee. Thanks, I have corrected it.

I believe it should be bucatini all’amatriciana–? Amatrice is “a tiny mountain town in the province of Rieti, near the border between Lazio and Abruzzi” (from ‘Saveur Cooks Authentic Italian’). Your enthusiasm & passion for all things culinary is contagious, and a real joy to read– more power.

millet, have an aunt who wants to major in Opera singing that goes to Rome for school and ends up living there for 50+ years and raises her family there…the saltimboca was good, and a lot of prosciutto is key… fried neurons…I noticed you don’t like bitter greens (or reds for that matter)… I used to be unable to eat radicchio, arugula, etc. but lately I have really found a liking for almost painful bitterness…

Mmmm mmmm mmmm! That bucatini dish sounded good. Veal saltimboca is one of my all-time favorites! I’ll pass on the salad, as it has two strikes against it: raddichio and endive. :)
