Eating in Rome: Pizza, Cannelloni or Cannoli...Careful what you Order

After touring the Vatican, we had a chance to try some local food before hopping back on the bus. What would you try if you were in Italy?

Pizza of course! Let me just say - DELICIOUS!

This is the restaurant we tried – Pizzaria Luzzi. Note the dish called CANNELLONI which is next to last on the menu below.

Yep, my hubby read it wrong and thought he was ordering a CANNOLI as a dessert. He ordered it, but the waitress never brought it out. There was a waiter that walked by our table and Greg asked where our CANNOLI was. The waiter looked at him kind of funny and said – “you want a CANNELLONI, that’s a meat dish.”

Oops – how embarrassing! Good thing the waitress forgot about it!

Lesson learned: Read the menu closely - if there are extra letters in the word, it's probably not what you think it is :)

Instead, we ordered Tiramisu for dessert!

Chalkboard Painted Vase

I had a can of chalkboard paint lying around and I decided to make a little chalkboard paint vase. I picked up this little gem from the thrift store for $1.99. It’s pale green in color. I like the dark black chalkboard paint against the light color of the vase. Who is Minnie? Minnie is my cute little grand-pup (on the right side of the doggie pic below). Who is Karl? He is the big golden retriever who lives behind us. They bark at each other all the time – it’s so darn cute! I couldn’t get a good picture of Minnie and Karl together, so Lola had to do. Lola is the puppy my daughter fostered for 3 weeks – isn’t she super adorable? Seriously, super adorable! Lola was about 6 weeks old in this picture and Minnie is 3. Minnie thought she was getting a sister....but Lola adopted out quickly. Imagine that! Linking up with: Someday Crafts

The Forum in Rome Italy

If you visit the Colosseum, you have to see the Forum – it’s literally right across the street. The forum known as the Forum Romanum looks like a disorderly collection of ruins and rock that can make the imagination run wild. Just look around and try to imagine what it looked like all those years ago. Remains of many buildings from different periods are visible. The forum used to house temples, basilicas and arches. The area is massive and is a must see site if you ever get a chance to visit Rome. The forum is “ one of the most important archaeological sites in the world ." Three thousand years ago, this valley, which was to become the future social and political center of one of the greatest empires of ancient times, was submerged in marshland. By an incredible invention of engineering, a canal that is still in function to this very day, allowed for the drainage of the land. The area soon began to develop and by the end of the 7th century BC, it was home to many mark
