I remember the first time I saw the Colosseum. I got chills then as I do every time I go to Rome and lay my eyes it.
Coming from a new country I am always in awe at the history and culture of such an amazing city as Rome.
A few of years ago when my eldest daughter had an exam to write at the University, she asked if I would like to go along. How could I refuse?
A day in Rome, I don’t have to cook lunch, so eat pizza I did, thank you very much.
And dessert? Yes please, gelato, it was creamy and amazing, my two favourite flavours stracciatella (chocolate chip) and chocolate.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember since I had a couple of hours to waste I took a little stroll.
I stopped for an espresso in a quaint little coffee bar, ahhh the good life!
So after a day of self indulging, which I highly recommend, I thought I should make a healthy, good for you but really tasty Baked Fish Dish.
