Three
months ago I was walking the streets of some beautiful artisitc city in
Italy, but now I am here back in this same little town of Odessa, TX.
There is no art here whatsoever, just a sahara dessert it seems like.
I miss the art, thousands and thousands of statues,the paintings in the churches that were all over the ceilings, the sisteen chappel. How great and beautiful is the art in Italy, not to forget the leaning tower of pissa and the colosseum; the history behind it all is amazing and so intriguing. I was in complete awe; Julius Ceasar claims that he turned a city of bricks into a city of marble and I must agree with him, it is the city of the gods.
As if the art was not sufficient allow me to go into describing their foods. Their foods are out of this world esp. because Italian food is my favorite food. The pizzas in Italy are so different than the pizzas here in America, esp the ones here in Odessa, TX. There is in all reality no comparison whatsoever. Here in Odessa the taste of the pizzas and the ingredients that they use is uhmmm a bit on the mediocre side when compared to the ones made in Italy. The freshness of the vegetables that were used... just absolutely fabulous, the crust was for the most part thin and crispy, the cheeses they used were so rich and creamy. Simply amazing. I find myself trying to cook Italian food more often trying to see if I can conquer that same Italian taste...needless to say that still has not became a reality, but I am enjoying the cooking of spaghetti, chicken fettucine and seafood spaghetti. It is at least stress relieving and fun; it allows me to go back in time and travel back to Italy again as I am cooking these Italian meals.
