PROGRESSIVE DINNER IN ROME

Rome would be our first night on our anniversary trip to (in chronological, not geographic, order) Lazio, Campania, and Umbria.

GAL PALS

This story is a celebration of girl friends, with a side dish of foods. But if you love cilantro-centric Mexican food beyond all others, be warned that our palates will disagree. The idea for a get together started while I was talking with my elementary school friend Wendy about where…
