Fettucini

On our last full day in Figline we had one more cooking class with Chef Claudio. We left the hotel EARLY the next morning for the long drive back to the airport in Rome and a long flight back home. I didn't take pictures then. It just wasn't the joyous, thrilling occasion that the trip over was. I am going back when I can stay longer. There is just too much to see in five days and our days were so structured. I am figuring it all out. There are several possibilities--internships, more school, work. I am going to get a TEFL license so teaching English will be an option. That will pay barely enough to live very frugally but, hell, I can struggle here or struggle there. I am aiming for late next summer or early autumn and I am not kidding. Why not? A year in Firenze and then one in Scotland and then come back to settle in New England. My dream will be lived. I will be happy!

I love that Chef Claudio doesn't use a pasta roller. He made pasta so simple that you feel silly for not doing it yourself all the time. I will from now on!
