So. Much. Delicious. Food.
Most of which was prepare by Mrs. Cedron, and it was all superb.
Upon our arrival in Treviso we were starved and excited about the prospect of home-made lunch from Pete's mom. And home-made did we get!
From the backyard garden we ate green beans, tomatoes, and lettuce all mixed up in a home-made salad. Then came the pasta, some of those twisty noodles (that I can never seem to cook right, either too crunchy or soggy every time) and they were perfect! Topped with tomato sauce courtesy of the backyard tomato vines. And something must be said about these tomatoes! They were the most juicy, sweet, deep red melt in your mouth delicious tomatoes that I've ever had. It still makes my mouth water!
With the pasta came a deliciously season thin strip of some juicy meat. After I cleared my plate the second time we got yet another course of veggies before we ate some lovely ripe peaches.
About 3 hours later after we went for a lovely bike ride tour of the town, we sat down to another amazing display of food. Starting this time with a caprese salad (again, incredible tomatoes and amazing mozzarella), then moving on to cantelope slices wrapped in prosciutto. This dish definitely seemed like a strange combination but the flavors complement one another in a magical way! Next we had some spaghetti and more of the wonderful home-made sauce before again ending the meal with a fresh peach.
Meals would continue on in this fashion for the rest of the stay. Beautiful plates full of incredible mixtures of pasta and bread and fruit. All sorts of deliciousness made their way onto that lovely kitchen table. And every meal was accompanied by red and white wine, harvested, prepared and bottled at their friend's vineyard down the street.
Yum!!
