Cooking Class!

Last week, we signed up for a cooking class! We were expecting a little old Italian woman, but instead got a young Italian man that didn't speak any English! It was a little weird at first, but the meal ended up tasting so good, and we learned a lot!

Mary beating the eggs

Omelet with potatoes and parmesan cheese....YUM.

Pasta with broccoli....double YUM!

Chocolate mousse....a little sweet but still....TRIPLE YUM.

Soon, we'll try to make these things on our own!

Salads Score

I recently discovered the Homestyle salad at L'insalatta Ricca. It has tuna AND eggs. It tastes good and I think it's good for you?

I saw an old man eating pasta a few days ago and told the waiter I want "that" and pointed to it. It was a little spicy, but the clams and mussels were just what I wanted!

Homemade Meal

Marie and Amy hosted dinner last Monday in their apartment! I missed all the cooking, but Mary helped out, and by the time I arrived, dinner was served!

Sauteed asparagus....amazing. 

Crostini with tomatoes, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze.

DELICIOUS pesto pasta with tomatoes and mozzarella. 

A glass of red wine. 

Thanks friends!

The Rest of Barca

These are a little late, but Marie and I found a Subway in Barcelona and decided to try it out. The pepperonis were a little pink, and Marie got a weird sauce, but besides that it was the same old Subway!

On the beach, we went to a paella restaurant and had a delicious seafood and chicken dish!

Tapas in Barcelona

While in Barcelona, we went to a tapas restaurant called Catalana. We each ordered so many different things. We were shocked when the food kept coming and it was delicious!

"Four Cheeses" stacked on top of each other on a piece of toast...

So cute

Goat cheese on top of peppers and onions

3-Course Spain

Yesterday morning, we got back from our weekend trip to Barcelona! It was a blast and we had a much different food experience than we've had in Rome. One restaurant that we went to twice had a deal for 3 courses, wine, and bread for 9.40. So, of course we took advantage.

Eggs with bacon and potatoes. 

Paella 

Chocolate Cake 

Sangria

The second time we had a gross experience. Yucky Carbonara.

SICK fish

Weird caramel cake

Repeat Restaurants?

We all wanted Sushi, but were having a hard time finding any that wasn't really expensive, so we walked around and found a Chinese place. It took FOREVER. The food was a little bland, but the Wan Tan soup was good!

We have a restaurant right by school that we go to almost every day. It's known for its salads, but they also have good pasta. This Carbonara was a little weird, but they have amazing arrabiata! 

I finally got the salmon salad and LOVED it!

There is an Irish pub we go to allllll the time, but today is the first day I went for lunch. I got the supreme nachos and shared them with Mary. Fantastic!
